That goes without saying. When we beat a team its the same old run out. I don't read them anymore, they've been bleating about the same thing ever since we picked out first academy player. We've had like 5k kids go through the academy and we don't even have enough players in NSW to get more than a couple picked each year if we are very very lucky.
They weren't moaning about us picking up our two in last years draft. Why? Because the best we could produce didn't fit their agenda.
Genuine discussion is mostly off the table as well either by being obtuse or deliberate they fail to see any disadvantages we and other clubs outside of Victoria face.

it disturbs me to see the swans ranked on the same level as essendon for anything
essendon fans, surely the most delusional of any in the league, start most seasons with their lid well and truly off, if they even have a lid ... indeed, essendon are "the lidless"

Playing Collingwood at the G on Grand Final day would absolutely suck. Outside of that, there's not much to fear at the moment.
Sorry to intrude but just to add, 99% of Bombers supporters are in no way thinking of any lid being off. People were predicting us to be 1-6 to start the season and to fight for the bottom 2. We're well aware of what we're coming from. The vast majority of us have just been wanting to see effort, regardless of a win or loss. We can't control the AFL media.
If you want to talk about the most unjustifiably arrogant supporters look no further than Saints or Carlton fans.

The Bombers are a statistical anomaly right now. They've beaten one team inside the 8 (GWS, whose wheels have fallen off) and a bunch of other bottom 8 sides. They are a mid team with ordinary percentage. The lid's off because they're the Bombers.

Yep. Every single time I've thought "That's sataris fault".Am I to blame for our grand final losses?

Current form we should take down anyone but I feel we're only a couple injuries away from falling apart.
Grundy goes down we don't have a replacement for him.
I'm also not convinced we'll play well if Amartey, McLean or McDonald go down. They're important for our structure
Blakey also drives a lot of our rebounds out of defence. We'd have a big drop should be go down

The lid will be off if we're 30 points up in the GF with about 2 minutes to go.
We've lost our last 3 GFs in a row. Of the 7 GFs I've watched we've won 2 and lost 5.
Everything has to go right to win a premiership and it's not often that everything goes right. We are flying at the moment but I'm trying to temper my expectations. I think Horse would be trying to do the same. Only focus on the next game, study your opposition and be prepared.

Get a room you two….Always
That’s the final step…soon.
I have already booked return flights from Cairns for the whole family though.

You could say that about anyone.
Gawn goes down for Melbourne, they're stuffed.
Pies have injuries and are struggling because of it.
Giants have copped a number of injuries and are struggling.
Cats are starting to get a few back but Cameron and Danger out impacts them a heap.
