Snoddy..... dont think we could have played any worse DO YOU??? EVERY SINGLE TIME WE ARE THE OUTRIGHT FAVS TO WIN AND THE OTHER TEAM ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE NO HOPE!!! WE LOSE !! Snoddy! Kaz! Lyn come here lets have a *Group hug* The only thing that consoled me even a teeny bit was knowing there was another game on at the same time with very similar results KAZ!!! its our teams SHOWDOWN next week.....Bombers V Crows......*Snoddy hold my hand next week* but lets face it EAGLES HAD TO WIN DIDNT THEY ??after all it was 1-7 ok ok so im clutching at straws of all the teams to beat us..#@%&*%#@$%#

Lyn for what its worth your boys played their hearts out it was a great game

Bottom Line - HUGE REALITY CHECK!!!

Hey Stooge - Yes it was a great game - real tough all day. But never mind wasn't meant to be. Thanks for the group hug really needed it.

Stoooooooge! Where were you? Were you at the game?

That was toooooo close for comfort

BUT ...... at least we got the 4 points

Well I resisted coming into the thread as I was watching the delayed match on TV and didn't want a spoiler

One word Craigie

GOAL KICKING PRACTISE

Oops make that 3 words

I've never been so glad to hear a final siren go in my life

What can I say my boys (COLLINGWOOD) did it again two weeks in
a row.
Geelong by 82 points & this week West Cost by 100 points now bring
on Melbourne.

Good ole Collingwood for ever we no how to play the game.........

Snoddy! I was at my sons school musical ( all mobile phones had to be turned off ) BUT I JUST HAD TO GET quarter by quarter scores, OF COURSE but according to my sources they didnt deserve to win??? is that right? BUT ill take a win anyway it comes cause...THATS FOOTY!!!
So whats happening with Bassett and Mcleoud?? hmmmm a few fellas down BUT theyll come good Neil Craig will make sure of it

Sorry Kaz, sounds like your fellas could walk off with their heads held high

Good luck Lyn

Thanks Stooge - we may need it

The Crows!

I disagree - apart from their poor kicking for goal I thought they deserved the win. I heard that Craigy was quite happy with the way they went about it and is taking quite a lot of positives from the game.

I actually felt that the Crows should have won by more .... but that's just my humble opinion and ... I could be a "tad" biased

From what I managed to see of the game - the only thing that let you down was your kicking for goal - so yes you should have won by more. Even if you are a 'tad' biased what you say is correct.

I have a happy Hubby, GEELONG won.................

Thanks Snoddy and thanks Lyn, thats GOOD to know cause without watching it myself Im not sure whats happening ok so onwards and upwards

onyer, Crows

Prin! how cute that you post before any of us Crows fans do!! Im IMPRESSED was a game of two VERY different halves, the Crows played dismally first half and in the second half we scored 15 goals to 5!! But im a very happy camper

Way to go those Crows

A nice win for the Hawks
9 goals for Buddy
( sorry Kaz )

Good win by our boys Stooge

Was just a tad worried in the first half but they came through for us

Jillz ... its on again next week for our teams

Not looking forward to that one

hmmmm who they going to put on Buddy?????? but yes Snoddy!! it was awesome once they got themselves into gear AS FOR WEST COAST, oh dear 37 pts up and lose by 5 in the last minute or so....they are struggling big time

... for my Bombers


On a positive, it was great seeing Scotty
back in action and despite a lack of match
fitness, kicking three goals ...

I did enjoy the first half, Jillz
staying with your hawks all the way ...
just seven points at the main break

then came .....

'the Buddy Show ..!!'

... for 'Paddy'
who never gave in ...
I hold our midfielders accountable ..!!



... for 'Buddy'
geez, he sure knows how to put a
damper on a game ..!!

so Jillz ...
*congrats*
um did I mention 'hawks' are my 2nd fave ??
"We are the mighty fighting Hawks" ...

... Stoogie
another win under your belt ...
not so sure about next week
I think 'our' hawks will bring home the points ...!!


go bombers ..!!

Hey Kaz I just love your positive posts and commentary!

Lyn, Lyn Lyn LYN WHAT HAPPENED??? Even I didnt expect that Im so glad Paul Stewart is ok today with his neck and I feel sad for Gray who has copped some blame from Williams about missing THAT goal saying they would have won if he had goaled...SUCH PRESSURE for a young kid Well you know what will probably happen? Port will probably beat Geelong when no one gives em a chance, SUCH IS THE NATURE OF FOOTY!

I think that was the turning point - when Paul Stewart was stetchered off - was all downhill from there. Unfortunately I think our session has gone. Next week will be Geelong by how much.

You know Lyn I kind of thought that really unsettled them when that happened but poor Gray who had to stare at those goals for 5 mins, who knows what went through his head and I guess momentum was lost...*hugs* xxx

finally ... I can drop by here
with a on my face ..!!



'see the Bombers fly up ... up ..!!'

Lloydy's HANGER ..!!

the midfield 'bouncing' back ..!!

Jay Neagle showing his 'essendon blood' ..!!

David Hille playing his 'heart' out ..!!

Andrew Welsh laying those 'crunching' tackles..!!

all is good in bomberland today .....!!


so ....


"alright let's go
tonight it's ON" ...!!


can he do the job ..... Stooge / Jillz ..??

Franklin booted 13 goals the last two times your teams met
and that includes 'six' on Bock .... .... altho he is definitely
'in form' right now ..!! should be an awesome contest
... enjoy the match u's crows & hawks tragics ..!!

staying positive for u B ... but ... being a 'Vic' I gotta say ...
GO HAWKS ..!!

Really happy for your Bombers Kaz
Was a great game

Not feeling too good about tonights game though
According to last nights news the Hawks haven't won against Adelaide in Adelaide in TEN years ( I didn't know that )

So fingers crossed for a ripper of a game and........................................

GO HAWKS

... thanks Jillz

Bomber supporters have no reason
to complain .... we have MANY a
'good time' to remember ..!!

... always nice to have a win tho ..!!


geez .... that's a LOOOOONG time ..!!

well .... records are made to be broken
win or lose ..... put on a SHOW, Buddy ..!!

and Liza
if u drop by
did you know
this will be the FIRST match
the DOGGIES & LIONS will
have played at the MCG ever .....!!!
.... just a bit of trivia
GO DOGGIES .......... WOOT !!

hmmmm Jillz are you trying to lull me into a false sense of security here?? bit of reverse psychology, mind games huh??? well tonight and all this week all the papers have focussed on is Buddy....in fact one of the headlines was "BUDDY HELL"
but on a serious note, no one really gives us a chance because of this "PHENOMONAN" man mountain forward freak!!! HOWEVER that puts alot of pressure on the young lad AND it looks like its gonna rain so that may change everything! OK JILLZ meet me here after the game.......

AS FOR KAZ!!!! whoooooooooohoooooooooooo for your Bombers!! happy for anyone to beat Eagles



GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS!!!!!

Hi Bianca/Jillz ..... feeling a tad nervous here

I hate night games - we have to go out to dinner and I find it hard to concentrate

Kind of puts me off my food

Wish it was all over

GO CROWS! (sorry Jillz)

Snodddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddy!! who is gonna stop BUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY!! yep nervous here too! see you bit later

*head whipping left and right and around*

football!!!! fans!!!!

(sheesssh I've not read anything like this since leaving Tassie )

Oh my gosh what a game . The Hawks by 4 points . Bianca and Snoddy your boys certainly shut Buddy down big time ( only 1 goal and he got reported , nooooooo ) and truly the Crows did deserve the win , they were fantasic But I am so relieved we managed to get that last goal . Way to Go Hawks
I need a stiff drink now

Well done Jillz What a game!!!!!

Even though I told myself I wouldn't, I kept getting the score on my mobile phone while at dinner this evening. We led the whole game if only by tiny margin .... but then as we came out of the restaurant I got the final score ...... and .....

Oh Stoooooge ..... I wanna cry

[and .....

Oh Stoooooge ..... I wanna cry
[/quote]

Oh to lose in that way hurts SO much but im very proud of the boys ESPECIALLY BOCKY and if I had to take out a positive....( sorry jillz) its that Buddy got 1 goal , though he missed many chances, that he got reported and my most priceless "Buddy" moment was watching him get tackled to the ground by our boys, * holding the ballllllllllll* .......

Snoddy at least we showed we could match it with a top team and Jillz, even though its true we deserved the win, its those little percentages we have to get just right to hold onto the game and tonight we didnt quite get there.......but NEXT WEEK IS ANOTHER WEEK IN THE UNPREDICTABLE WORLD OF FOOTY!

but well down Hawks

The mighty CATS won today, we have one very happy household. Glad to see hubby smiling.

Hey footy people - Stooge Jillz Nutralady .... where have you gone

Only two games left this season and all has gone quiet on this thread

Looks like the mighty Crows will be playing finals this year

Hey Snoddy! Im sorry I have been slack on here but IM NOT MISSING A GAME!! I have loved watching WC do dismally as well as another close by team I really hope we can knock off the Saints tomorrow, BUT being a special game for Harvey, well you know how emotional this game is! Im excited they left Dangerfield in for tomorrow though Im missing Porps how bout that other revelation last week??? Gill? Ok Snoddy have I convinced you im still into this amazing game just as much as ever?? GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS !!!

I never doubted it for a minute Stooge
I had to go to my grand-daughter's Christening today but got the scores on my mobile
Don't have any details of the game but I am surprised that it wasn't closer.
Lets just hope that we can finish the home and away season off well with a win against the Bulldogs next week

Yep I'm still here snoddy
Hawks still doing very nicely Not sure how we'll go in the finals but I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for at least a couple of wins . Glad to see the Crows will be in the finals too

I'm hanging out for the possibility of Buddy's 100 goals for the season , one game to go and 2 goals for the ton , fingernail biting stuff .

Well done jillz The Hawks just seemed to do what they wanted with the Eagles in the end.

I am predicting a Geelong/Hawthorn grandfinal

We were terrible today and we had SO much to play for BUT im happy for Harveys last home game for the Saints.....yes we are in the finals but not with a double chance anymore UNLESS A MIRACLE OCCURS Footy is a funny game

Way to go Buddy 102 goals for the season Simply brilliant .


Hawks had a fantastic win and set to meet the Doggies next week .
I feel for Brendon Fevola though who got to 99 goals for the season missing his ton by 1 .

Congrats to the Crows who managed to secure the 4th position and a second chance in the finals

Well you got your miracle Stooge ..... We get the double chance ..... BUT ....... we have to play Geelong first up


Haven't heard a thing about the game over here ... no coverage at all. Will be checking out the Crows website for the lowdown on the game.

But well done to our boys Stooge. Not bad for a team that was supposed to finish in the bottom half of the bottom eight according to the so called "experts"

Hey Snoddy! it was a very hard fought win, the boys had there back to the wall at times especially kicking 1 goal 9 in third term BUT it WAS a very windy, rainy day, the ball was slipping every which way and basically it came to luck at times as the skill errors were comical at times!! Tyson Edwards was our hero with 3 goals when we really needed it.... and hows this for a rare happening....Crows fans everwhere cheering on Port to win today, who would of thought a thumping of 76 pts could happen and then results going our way means we probably get 4th spot. I SAY PROBABLY BECAUSE IF SAINTS CAN BEAT BOMBERS BY OVER 70 POINTS, then THEY WILL GET 4TH SPOT, footy is a funny game Snoddy.
How ironic that last week we had chance for 4th spot and blew it fri night Pies had chance for 4th spot and blew it Kangaroos had chance 4th spot and ( thanks to Port ) blew it!! So to have a second chance to get the 4th spot I thought SURELY WE COULD NOT LOSE IT and We didnt

Hey Jillz, Buddy did you proud huh? what a game and yeh I did feel kind of sorry for Fevola, 99 that would suck, anyway if its a Hawks and Geelong GF I SO WANT YOUR BOYS TO WIN, how wonderful would that be for Crawford and the others but meanwhile my crows boys have to perform a miracle if they are to get over the line with Cats ( provided we play them of course) GO BOMBERS TOMORROW!!!!!

sNODDDDDDDDDDDDY, The saints performed a miracle and knocked us off 4th spot, Im simply STUNNED.. now we only get the one chance...... GO CROWS.....

My neice just phoned to let me know what had happened. Most upset cause she was even barracking for us (Power) yesterday. Unbelievable. But you shouldn't have too much trouble getting over Collingwood next week - they don't like travelling too much. You don't know how much this hurts but Good Luck - not a big fan of Collingwood and would like to see them beaten.

You're kidding .
I'll be barracking for the Crows against Collingwood for sure .

I'm devastated Stooge
Don't know what to say
But lets look on the bright side - at least we don't have to play Geelong next week

To Jillz and all the other Hawks fans out there Congratulations to one of the best grandfinal games I have ever seen!!!!!!! I was so happy for Shane Crawford especially!! just love him! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

HAWKS PREMIERS FOR 2008!!!!!
