Speaking of intense dislike, Maynard is an odious individual.

Really hate them. Especially that Nick Daicos. Good enough player but geez, something about him really rubs me up the wrong way.

Best win so far this year and against the premiers and on their home turf, wasn't expecting that and by such a big margin, although to be fair to Brisbane they were coming off a 5 day break.

What i really like about this team is it's a real team effort, we arent relying on one or two players, especially our forward line and we also have quite a bit of depth (couple players that didn't play that are in our best 22) if we can stay relatively injury free, we can really manage players

Very happy with where we are at right now

Funny but unfair. Better team on the night won. However, reading anything more into it eg re ladder position and cake walk consideration is simply pie in the sky thinking. Premierships are not won in April, plenty of time to fall in a heap. Enjoy your win.

Blackers. Hi mate hope you’re well.

Agree, premierships are not made in April and it’s definitely no cake walk.
Alas, you can still put the dough into the proving oven this time of year and take it out later on when mix begins to rise.

Brisbane were smashed in all areas.

They got off lightly, De Goey from standing start close to the goal missed, as did McStay from 15m out, Jamie Elliot the same x2, Cox missed two from close set shots, Daicos also.
It could have been a 14 or 15 goal thrashing, but we will take the win regardless. AW

Hiya Alfie. All good here, thanks for asking .
What, Mason Cox missed? No surprise there, a big waste of space. If we are talking baking, we need to compare apples with apples tho, I reckon Brisbane would be unhappy with their accuracy in front of goal too, it could easily have been much closer as well. Don't want your dough to go stale.....

Cox is finished, he’s past his use by date, normally very accurate close to goal. I dislike his pseudo aggressive tirades every time he marks, kicks or wins a free in front of goal and feels he has to wrestle or jostle with the opponents.

Bit of an NFL superstar wannabe. He’s had his moment in the sun, won a flag.
He’s a shit stirrer who can’t back it up. AW

Unfair? Hardly, yeah a good win but was surprised there was only 2 frees difference at the end of the game. Proving it’s not the number but when and how you get them, first half was a umpire feast for the pies. And as for Diacos pretending to get a head high hit until he realised the umpires weren’t buying it, says alot as to the ones he gets but perhaps doesn’t deserve

Agree on the premiership's are not made in April it's a long season, but still im very happy with the win and where we are at right now, a much better start to the season than last year that was painful.

Yeah i agree I think Cox is done (although i have thought that before), it's strange how his kicking on goal has gone backward's he use to be one of, if not the most accurate in the team especially from the area's he has missed from of late.

Ive listened to his podcast a bit, he does come across at times as that loud cliche Seppo, but he is also still a real nice guy and it's just a feel good story.

Ha, no doubt some egregious decisions the Guy, but that's not why they won. The concept of equal numbers of free kicks is a bit puerile, I agree. Some teams push the boundaries, Brisbane are one of them. Anyways on much more concerning news, the Roos are playing Carlton back into form unfortunately.

^ not sure that is what I was saying @blackers about frees, it’s mostly never about the number it’s where you get them and at what stage of the game, I stand by what I said, Collingwood got some some rippers in the 1st half when the game was up for grabs.

^^ you have Fox @AW? Shame you if you do :)

GuySmiley. Hi mate.

No I don’t have Fox or Kayo, the name Murdoch makes me feel ill, Ive something even more dishonest, one of my surf mates kids is a tech genius, coder and chip programmer, I pay $100 per year to him , no questions asked and I get some feed that eminates from east of the Adriatic Sea (former Yugoslavia) that provides me with anything available globally across all forms of media from sport to movies and lots more. It’s all a bit hush hush.
Go Bombers. I hope you put your best team on the G for Anzac Day.AW

Hi Guy. I understand the point you were making. I disagree somewhat, hence my original post but wanted to settle on a point of communal agreement. Anyways, the Bongers squeaked home. I reckon Alfred was a bit harsh, it had its moments .

Few nervous moments there @blackers!
I actually picked Eagles to get us tonight.....they're no joke in Perth...definitely not a bottom of the ladder team and are building.
Was stoked our boys gutsed it out and pulled out a W. Great to see two metre Peter have a huge comeback game. .
Look out Pies!! Comin at ya @indo and @AW!!!
Btw, i reckon you're hot favourites, and don't expect to win....but anythings possible Anzac day.
All the best for the big game.

Lucky Swellnet is still a 'relatively' underground surf platform.

Morning @AW, Collingwood should have a day out on Anzac Day, something about the development cycle of both teams, if the Bombers are competitive that’s a win.

@Southernraw, @GuySmiley . Hi fellas, all a bit of fun.

Bombers have a lot of good players, not sure about Brad Scott as a coach, I definitely didn’t rate him at Nth. Melbourne.

Very unfortunate about Sam Draper and the achillies injury he sustained.
He’s going to be surely missed . He has a bit of a cult following amongst the young kids brigade, they love him.
Many young kids who follow Essendon have similar mullets
A surf mate of mine in Torquay has a 6 year boy who idolises Draper, even has the same bogan haircut with a sandwich knife edge fringe and the mullet.

@SouthernRaw, I’ll make enquires about my sinister access to media and see if I can put you on to the connection. AW

Yeah spewing about big Sammy. We've lost 3 players to big injuries in 3 weeks.
2 of them the big blokes. They're wheeling Goldstein back out for Anzac days so we'll see how that goes.
