Talking

That's got to be about the most tenuous link to aviation that I've seen but what a cracker of a game! Good to see that the team playing Collingwood won. Even better that they beat them in the last ten seconds of the game. Hopefully that'll do some real psychological damage to the Pies.

Bugger Off!.....Pies were robbed.... What is with a 30 minute last quarter???

Well done Bombers, to play that hard when looking at that time on the board took real mental strength. The best game I've been to!

Keg...

"...tenuous link to aviation?'

Have you no heart? No sense of history? The mere name Essendon is right up there with the front rank of foundation stones of Australia aviation....

It was a great game....Lovett reminds me so much of Michael Long....but that last two minutes was a bit too much of a heart stopper....hope the Club puts the game on DVD

Go Dons!

I barrack for 2 teams.

The Mighty Blues and the team that is playing Collingmaggot.

Damned good game to watch and the favoured result for 90% of all supporters.

Do you know the difference between a Collingwood chearleader and a bowling ball??

You can only get three fingers in a bowling ball.

Best all

Ah Whiskery, long time no read!

Good to see the regular "punching above their weight" continues in this fine ANZAC day tradition. Really thought the pies had it towards the end.

Nice touch with the banner I thought as well.

Great ANZAC Day thred

Great thread Buster.

This family's young digger was out from 4am to noon in his polys then spent the afternoon until the nailbiting final siren in his Bombers jersey.


Watch the Bombers fly up, up....................

Go Bombers??

Agreed any team beating the Pies deserves kudos it was a "riveting" (another loose aviation reference) contest.

Better than the one I just attended at ETIHAD (there's another one) Stadium which if you're a North Melbourne supporter was absolute rubbish.
Yes thats right the team that beat the mighty BOMBERS last week!!!!!

Red face

And here was I thinking this would be about the Lancaster bomber reported flying in the Wollongong area for the Anzac day flyovers yesterday.

Silly me.

G'day
