Round 9 - Bombers v Swans - Friday May 16th - Etihad Stadium.

[Big Mac]

Slow down Goddard. Stop making my decision to bring in Swan over you look any stupider than it already does.

[Jroo]

What the flower are you doing Stants?

[Money]

I love how Stanton's tackles have counted.....

[Jukes]

What's with this pathetic umpiring

It's been a weekly occurance since round 1 2013, but seriously this is a disgrace. If they were neutral there'd be a goal in it, if they're lucky.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Stanton doesn't know how to cope with 1% of pressure

Spewing I couldn't bring Parker in this week. I would be absolutely F'ed if I did with the byes. He is a star.

And that effort by Laids coming off the bench is why Carlton supporters loved him.

[LaHug]

Quarter time SC?

[Mat0369]

Buddy looks to be in his usual form against the Dons
