Absolutely flowering filthy.

At the amount of goals we have gifted.

At the flowering umpires.

But none more so than the flowering demons.

I knew it would happen! They just think they've done all the work when they win a game, and then think they can just turn up to the next one and win automatically.

It showers me to my bones!

flowering dreadful

[Bill Manspeaker]

Kommer you're a dick

[crowls]

traded Tippa. watch him ton up

plenty of others will next week.    i may wait for Hartley on bubble.

[Purple 77]

Furious. We have forgotten how to be a football team.

Pathetic.

We better get it together and win, flower me.

[Mat0369]

Melbourne are going to lose. Wow

[kilbluff1985]

smd Melbourne

[fanTCfool]

Melbourne are pretty bad  :-\

[plumdog millionaire]

Great win boys. So proud to be a bombers supporter today.

[AaronKirk]

Thanks Melbourne. Taken us 2 weeks to win more games than I thought we would this year.

[Bones Bombers]

You Bloody Beauty!!!

Good game to watch. The boys just kept running and running. Joe will be a superstar if he gets his kicking right. Zaka is standing tall, although it will be hard to sustain for the whole season.

Almost had a tear at the end there.

[Purple 77]

As I said in the Melbourne section:

I'm terrified of losing this match.

I'm horrified at the confidence of winning this match from the Demonlanders, the media and dare I say, the players themselves.

Time and time again, in these sort of matches where we are expected to win, we implode to that expectation and try our hardest to lose (by over-trying).

If anything, I've confident of that. I'm tipping (tentatively) about a 3 goal win, where we do most of the damage in the last quarter. Similar to the NAB game against the VFL Western Bulldogs.

Very, very terrified about this game.

Remember that quote during the game, I bet you'll find it to be quite relevant  :-\

[Mat0369]

The Dees haven't won consecutive games since 2011. If they don't win today they will never do it

[crowls]

Congratulations Bombers.    Great job today.
