    • This is not another hair raising performance by Collingwood that the AFL would have wanted

      • Time for Eddie to attack the Swans and whinge about the imaginary advantage the Swans have when recruiting.

          • Absolutely stunned with the Pies effort so far. I had them in the top 8 this year and maybe top 4. The Swans have made them look like a bottom 4 team. Are the Swans that good? Are the Pies that bad or is it just an off night?

            • Good luck to the Bombers for the season. Having seen the damage done to Carlton after the 2000 Salary cap issues I feel for Essendon. It does no good to anyone for a team to become uncompetitive. I hope come next season they can retain the services of the current suspended players as if a few opt to leave Essendon could be struggling for years. Stand by your club Bombers supporters for it's when the chips are down the true loyal supporters are found.
