3) Paddy, please stop wearing women's underwear

Expecting to get belted.

Anything resembling some sort of functioning forward line (& movement i50) will be a positive as far as I'm concerned.

We might not be the biggest losers for the round [-o<

Bombers fight back from 3 goals down to lead early in the first!

Melksham on fire.

[Sismis]

Ryder looking good. Prismal looking very good.

Where did this team come from??????

[Megan]

No matter the outcome at this stage JP, this is looking like a win for the glass half full fans

[Sismis]

Hibberd, is kicking arse. Seems to have grown about half a foot since last week.

Welsh down with a hammy. Has played an important role.

Jetta has been important. Doesn't miss a target.

Prismal, has been at the bottom of every pack.

Ryder getting some confidence back.

Davey, is finding the ball with his first touch.

Many others to mention but iPad spelling is pissing me off.

Did try and make a sportsbet account and get 20 buks on Essendon at 8 bucks, but just wasn't quick enough...Looking alright, aslong as we dont fall to pieces in 2nd half. I enoy watching Essendon when we play like we give a shit!

[Sismis]

Geelong have made it an art form of fighting back in situations like this. But I am loving the work from our defensive unit.

We are right in this.

[s'dreams]

Where the hell did this effort come from???

In regards to some of the players I've bagged over the past couple of weeks ...

[Sismis]

Wow cats challenge bombers respond! This is f***** ON!

[Sismis]

Last quarter, I am so f****** envious of you guys at the game!

[sconsey]

HOLY f***! What a win! But I missed out on 160 buks, stupid sports bet taking to long to sign up to!

Hey, I laughed at a mate yesterday who wanted to give me 60 points for $100.

Serves as a lesson to everyone! Never turn your back on your team when the going gets tough! Those that didn't go tonight deliberately because of the team's performance. Shame on you. I didn't think we'd get close to them and look what can happen! So over the bandwagonning...you take the good, bad and ugly! Tonight was just reward for keeping the faith in the team. I don't accept poor performances, but I still don't bag the crap out of my team! Hope to have more optimistic week on here!

Nope, serves as a lesson to the players - get passionate, work hard and look what happens - just as every fan on this forum has been saying for 5 weeks now. We never turned our back on the team but I suspect a few players did during the dark weeks
