Let's make it 100

In all seriousness, our percentage isn't that great, so not withstanding a brave™ fightback from them, we genuinely need to win this game by a lot!

9 goals that's WOT.

Not in my wildest...I was confident whilst trepidating 'becoz' its the Bumbers.

Amazing...Blue heaaven...another half to go.

4 points should be in the bag.
Can we win by 100...just to rub their noses in their spit.

It's ugly here. I'm glad I didn't drive. My car would be trashed by now.

One thing that's obvious is tat we just love the open space of the MCG. We don't look half the side at Etihad.

Where did they dig up this Basil guy? What a moron?!!

First Ch7 game I think I've watched live (on Fox luckily) and they're worse than ever. Crap camera angles, crap direction, crap commentators. The AFL's just taking the piss isn't it allowing these bozos to broadcast. Anything for the almighty dollar, I guess.

Well that was a pretty good half of footy. Amazing what two tall forwards can do to straighten us up. Kreuzer is doing OK at the stoppages and we are KILLING them at clearances, well everything, actually.

What Ratts has to do is make sure we play this out and we beat them by 100. We have to improve our percentage by a lot to get Freo. This week and next should do it.

Had we had a decent list available and a bit of confidence and mongrel, we'd be sitting in the top 4 now. Important to get this culture into the kids. WIN EVERYTHING WE CAN whilst playing them.

Can't relax. Some quick goals early in the third to the Bombers and they will feel they're back in it. Don't want to be five goals up at three quarter time.

Not sure you can say that psych.

Our backline is greener than lime cordial. They're at full strength.

I don't rate us 50/50 in this. Bombers have some big ins.

They've lost something like 8 out of 10 games. Players back are underdone.

I like the combination of size and speed we have around the ball and the mobile forward line.

As for backline I agree but I have a lot of faith in White (who I really rate) and McInnes. Touhy, Duigan have the size and will need to assist. Scotland as well.

The conditions suit us and there is a guy named Judd!

IMO the best side we have had on the park in a long while.

Does Robbo have cosmetic lips?

"They love to bash up young kids in Tassie" :-)

Man he talks fast.

You can't agree with you more on that one?

Credit to the MC, some interesting decisions have come of. The man behind the ball to protect the paddock goal has been good, Bombers loose man now has a loose arse.

Watching this on a stream in Madrid at 6 am after a big night out - absolute gold!

Even if we dont make the 8 as long as we take down that scum with us I'll be happy

I'm feeding 3aw commentary through my computer. Just need to pause live pics on fox for about 7 seconds to get it in sync and voila....no more basil.....I'm enjoying hearing mongalloyd nearly spew up every time he has to speak!

Winning the stoppages and superior numbers around the ball helps the defense. Having said that, their 4 goals came very easily.

Damn it, GWS is playing Melbourne in Canberra, so why show it on TV & local radio :-(

Streaming radio when bombers getting pummeled by the might of the Blues just isn't doing it for me.

My Bomber supporting brother won't answer my texts, just like last year when he was at the bummers blues final.

What about our crap coach
Crap systems
Crap team selection
Crap development
No depth
Club is a mess
Etc etc etc
