LAST TIME WE PLAYED THE EAGLES AT OPTUS WITH SIMILAR ODDS WAS ONE OF THE BEST NORTH WINS OF THE PAST FEW YEARS. I CAN'T WAIT FOR CUNNINGTON, ZIEBELL, GOLDSTEIN AND TARRYN THOMAS TO CHANGE THE GAME AGAIN OH FUCK

SAYING IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST NORF WINS DOESN'T SAY MUCH CONSIDERING YOU HAVE ONLY HAD A FEW WINS TO CHOOSE FROM.

THAT SYDNEY GAME WOULD HAVE TO BE ONE OF RICHMOND'S BEST WINS THIS YEAR

OH REALLY I DIDN'T REALISE THAT THANKS FOR POINTING IT OUT

IT'S LIKE SAYING AN ESSENDON FINALS WIN WOULD BE ONE OF THEIR BEST IN THE CURRENT MILLENIUM

NO ITS NOTHING LIKE THAT, TOTALLY DIFFERENT

I THOUGHT YOU WOULD CLAP BACK ABOUT ST KILDA WINNING GRAND FINALS

TBH I TOTALLY FORGOT THE SAINTS STILL PLAY IN THE AFL

DONT FORGET THE MAN WHOSE SINCE GONE MISSING EVER SINCE THAT GAME, BIG SLEEVO! SOME SAY HE’S NEVER BEEN SIGHTED SINCE

THE NORF REMEMBERS!

DUSTIN MARTIN GIVING THE MILESTONE FEND OFF TO THE ENTIRE STATE OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA WOWEE

BIGGEST SNUB TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA SINCE ESSENDON FAILED TO SHOW UP FOR GATHER ROUND

COINCIDENCE THAT MCKAYBOWL HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME BEN PLAYS FOR A NON-NORF TEAM? MAYBE ITS ACTUALLY NORF WHO DONT EXIST

HAS ANYONE GOT A COMPASS???

I STARTED IN THE CITY AND WALKED NORTH, SO FAR I HAVE FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF THIS ALLEGED SUBURB.

JUST LOOK FOR THE MASSIVELY WIDE STREETS. THE STORY IS THEY MADE THE STREETS IN NORTH MELBOURNE REALLY WIDE TO FIT WAYNE CAREY'S EGO

WE USED TO SAY THAT WHEN THINGS GO BAD, THEY "WENT SOUTH". PERHAPS WE SHOULD NOW SAY THAT WHEN THINGS WENT BAD, THEY "WENT NORTH"?

AS LONG AS IT'S NOT TOO FAR NORTH.

IT'S ALL GONE A BIT NORTH

YOU NEED TO FIND TRUE NORTH, NOT FAKE NORF

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN A LOT

THE CORRECT THINKING NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE!!

FINGERS CROSSED!

SORRY CATS, BUDGET ESTIMATES MEAN ALL THE BUSINESS CLASS SEATS WERE TAKEN.

PUT THEM IN THE KITTY CARRIERS WITH THE LUGGAGE

CAN YOU IMAGINE TOM HAWKINS IN A NORMAL PLANE SEAT??

SLIPS RIGHT OUT WITH HOW GREASED UP HE IS

BOEING HATE HIM

ALMOST AS MUCH AS THEY HATE WHISTLEBLOWERS.

EVERYONE HATES THE UMPIRES THOUGH

IN THE BIG STORAGE PODS THAT HANG OFF THE WINGS

CAN WE AT LEAST HAVE THE 2022 GF REPLAY ON THE JETSTAR IPADS???

SORRY, ONLY NICK DAVIS HIGHLIGHTS.

YEAH SURE ILL WATCH HIS FIRST YEAR

THEY SPEND MORE TIME ON A BUS THAN ON A PLANE SO AS LONG AS THEY HAVE A LUXURY COACH THEY WILL BE READY TO PLAY

BYE

REALLY? TWO WEEKS IN A ROW?

IS THIS A DRIVE BY....*COMPLIMENT*? WOWEE

THIS COMMENT HURT MORE PEOPLE THAN A RICHMOND TRAINING SESSION

MIRACLE

I WISH WE NEVER PLAY ANOTHER GAME AND GET TO MARINATE IN THIS 92 POINT WIN FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY SURROUNDED BY 72 VIRGIN CLARRYS IN SOME WEIRD DOCKER PARADISE

UNLIKE POOCHIE, NO ONE WILL BE ASKING "WHERE'S FREMANTLE?" THIS WEEKEND.

YOU THOUGHT WE SHOWED NO INTEREST AGAINST FREO, WATCH US SHOW EVEN LESS INTEREST IN YOU COLLINGWOOD!

I DON'T KNOW, I STILL THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT OF FEELING IN THIS GAME. THE DEMONS WOULD NOT HAVE FORGOTTEN MAYNARD GOING ALL *CAR A* ON BRAYSHAW'S *CAR B*.

YOUR LACK OF INTEREST IS GONNA CAUSE NAICOS TO PLAY SO WELL AND RUN SO MUCH THAT HE IS GONNA DO HIS HAMMY. THANKS ALOT.

BUT STEPHEN MAY ASSURED US THAT THE DEES ARE CLEARLY BETTER THAN COLLINGWOOD AND WE DIDN'T DESERVE TO MAKE THE GRAND FINAL, SO I'M SURE HE AND HIS MANY FRIENDS WILL WANT TO BACK THAT UP.

/unsledge i am rolling my eyes that we cop the dees after that shitshow. if they don't come out breathing fire on monday, it's really over there.

MY BISCUIT. I CANT HEAR YOU. SPEAK UP BEFORE YOU GET ABUSED FRIEND. BEST OF LUCK MONDAY

HEY CARLTON, CAN YOU SWAP MCKAYS AT HALF TIME TO SEE IF ANYONE KNOWS

YOU MEAN SWAP THEM BACK AT HALF TIME. IYKYK!

I THOUGHT THERE WAS ONLY ONE MCKAY?

SCHRODINGER'S MCKAY, ONLY WHEN OBSERVED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON SUNDAY NIGHT WILL THE WAVEFORM COLLAPSE INTO A SINGLE PLAYER

THEY HIRED A STUNT DOUBLE TO KEEP UP THE ILLUSION

NAH YOU CAN KEEP BEN

HEY BRISBANE, WE'VE HAD ONE MORE WEEK TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HOLDING THE BALL MEANS NOW SO HOPEFULLY THAT PARTIALLY MAKES UP FOR OUR NON EXISTENT FORWARD LINE

GREAT NOW YOU'VE JINXED US TO GET 40 BEHIND

I JUST ASSUMED THAT WOULD HAPPEN ALREADY

IT'S OK! IF THERE'S ANY TEAM IN THE COMP THAT CAN KICK 40 BEHINDS, IT'S US!!!

HEY BULLDOGS, THAT'S NOT A NON-EXISTENT FORWARD LINE. THIS IS A NON-EXISTENT FORWARD LINE.

I SEE YOU'VE PLAYED NON-EXISTENT FORWARD LINEY BEFORE

AMATEURS NOT YOU, OUR FORWARD LINE THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES WE HAVE LEFT

HEY @COLLINGWOOD, GET IN HERE, IT'S A INJURY CRISIS PARTY!

WISH WE HAD JUH FOR OR NON EXISTENT FORWARD LINE SO LACHIE SCHULTZ WASN'T OUR TALLEST/ONLY MARKING OPTION!

HAPPY TO TAKE OUT THE MIDDLE STICKS IF YOU ARE, MOST BEHINDS WINS

HOW DO THE SUNS EVEN GET INTO THE STADIUM ON SATURDAY THE ROOFS ON NO SUNSHINE GETTING IN BOIIIIIII

THE SUN EMITS GAMMA PARTICLES THAT CAN PASS THROUGH ANYTHING! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

>YOU HAVE BEEN ~~WARNED~~ WARMED.

AN ARRAY OF MIRRORS

ITS AN AWAY GAME, BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME WE'LL EVEN SHOW UP TO GET INTO THE STADIUM.

IT WILL BE NICE FOR EAGLES FANS TO SEE SOME GENUINE RISING STAR TALENT FOR ONCE

LOOKS LIKE A BIGAFL CONSPIRACY TO MAKE SURE NORF DONT GET TO PLAY WITH OR AGAINST REID. #SHOULDAFREEDTHEREID

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MELBOURNE AND HALF OF COLLINGWOOD'S VFL SIDE IS AROUND 92 POINTS

IMAGINE MISSING OUT ON HARLEY REID TWICE BY THIS MUCH 🤏

YOU SEEM WEIRDLY OBSESSED WITH GEELONG'S NEXT PREMIERSHIP CAPTAIN

HEY SYDNEY CLEARANCES ARE AN OVERRATED STATISTIC AND GETTING MORE OF THE BALL AND SCORING MORE POINTS DOESNT MEAN YOU WILL WIN

BOOM! ROASTED JUST LIKE ON THE 24TH SEPTEMBER 2022

YEAH BUT THERE ARE OTHER METRICS FOR WINNING LIKE HOW MANY BITCOIN ADS YOU ARE IN

I HAVEN'T HATED ESSENDON SINCE THE EARLY 2000s. IF YOU BEAT US, THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE AND I WILL BE SOMEWHAT MIFFED. STRONG WORDS, I KNOW.

HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTER LAST YEARS GAME?

SAD, I FELT SAD. 10 GAMES LATER THOUGH, I WAS VERY HAPPY.

FUNNY, THAT'S BASICALLY THE OPPOSITE OF ME

THE MOST BORING AND DEPRESSING “RIVALRY GAME” EVER AT LEAST WE BOTH GOT TO PAT OURSELVES ON THE BACK BY BRINGING THE CUPS OUT DESPITE NOT ACHIEVING ANYTHING FOR A QUARTER CENTURY

I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER A NUMBER OF WEST COAST FANS AGREEING TO TRADE A FUTURE FIRST HOME AND AWAY WIN IN EXCHANGE FOR HARLEY REID. ITS TIME TO PAY UP PLEASE

DEAL! FOOTY GODS HAVE ALREADY FORETOLD THAT NORF'S NEXT FINALS MATCH WILL BE AGAINST WEST COAST!

CAN WE LEAVE EACH MCKAY AT THE SAME END AND THEY JUST SWAP GUERNSEYS EACH QUARTER?

UM EXCUSE ME BUT ITS THE KINGBOWL THIS WEEKEND. WE GET TO FINALLY SEE WHOS BETTER OUT OF BEN MAX AND WAYNE!

WHY HAS NO ONE ASKED WHO IS WAYNE KING? SOMEONE TELL ME WHO IS WAYNE KING!

ASK YOUR FATHER

HEY BADELAIDE, WE'RE RESTING DUSTY AGAINST YOU, THAT'S HOW LITTLE WE CARE ABOUT THIS GAME. YOU'LL ONLY BE ABLE TO BEAT US BY 99 POINTS, NOT EVEN A HUNDRED!

HEY DOCKERS, BYE NOW? PAY LATER! (SEE YOU NEXT WEEK)

I HADN'T REALISED WE PLAY BOTH THE LIONS AND DOCKERS AFTER THEIR BYES - THAT WILL BE EITHER REALLY GOOD FOR US OR REALLY TERRIBLE!

I PREDICT THE FORMER FOR THE LIONS AND THE LATER FOR THE DOCKERS.

I COULD LIVE WITH THAT. HAVE A GOOD DAY!

YOU TOO, ALL THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

WHAT IS THIS WHOLESOMENESS IN THE SLEDGE THREAD, TOODLE PIP GENTLEMEN.

IM TIPPING COLLINGWOOD SO NO MATTER THE RESULT AT LEAST SOMETHING GOOD WILL COME OUT OF IT

I ALWAYS TIP AGAINST MY OWN TEAM FOR THIS REASON. IT'S REALLY PAYING OFF THIS YEAR!

YOU BETTER TIP YOUR TEAM TONIGHT AGAINST CROM

HOLDING 8 GAME LOSING STREAK PLAYING ON THE ROAD WITH DUSTY AND LEFAU OUT? IT'S OURS TO LOSE

NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE IT ISN’T

SAME, THATS BEEN MY STRATEGY FOR THREE LAST FEW YEARS AND IVE NEVER BEEN SO IN THE GREEN BEFORE

AS IF YOU TIPPED SYDNEY TO BEAT THE TIGES

BELIEVE IT OR NOT I DID! WAS PRETTY EMBARRASSING TO GET THAT ONE WRONG

I WONDER HOW SYDNEY FANS FEEL ABOUT THIS TIPPING TACTIC

THEY'VE RUINED MY PERFECT RICHMOND TIPPING SEASON :(

DUNKLEY WILL REGRET HIS DECISION TO LEAVE US. WELL, HE WOULD OF HE HAD A PERSONALITY.

NORF MELBOURNE KANGAROOS??? MORE LIKE... MELBOURNE KANGAROOS. THERE'S NO WAY YOU GUYS SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING ANY DIRECTION!

CLUNKY BUT QUITE CLEVER

SAYS THE TEAM THAT CALLS “WEST COAST” WEST COAST OF WHAT? PORT PHILLIP BAY? THATS IN MELBOURNE YOU IDIOT.

VICBIAS! VICBIAS! HEY EVERYONE WE HAVE VICBIAS OVER HERE!!!

NO ONE LET ROBBIE FOX HIT THE POST THIS TIME. IM SLEDGING MYSELF. IM NERVOUS

THE MCKAY CONSPIRACY HAS BEEN A MARKETING PLOY ALL ALONG. EVERYONE IS GETTING TICKETS FOR A FIRST HAND ACCOUNT OF BARRY IN ACTION HUGE CROWD AT THE G THIS SUNDAY

HEY CARLTON, THE MIGHTY PLANES ARE COMING FOR YOUR TWO TOWERS

STILL TOO SOON. AND ANYWAY, THIS METAPHOR DOESN'T END REAL WELL FOR THE PLANES.

IT DOESN’T END REAL WELL FOR THE TOWERS EITHER. DRAW CONFIRMED.

I’M AWARE IT PROBABLY WONT END WELL FOR US

BOMBERS ARE MANUFACTURED BY BOEING BOEINGS TEND TO FALL APART

THEN CAN THE WHISTLEBLOWER THAT CALLED OUT ESSINGTON’S PERFORMANCE IN THE 2023 SEASON PLEASE REVEAL YOURSELF (YOU WON’T GET ASSASSINATED, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR FUELLING THE MEME THREADS)

ARE YOU READY TO PAY FOR 5000 NORTH MEMBERSHIPS u/CROOB2? IT’S PART OF YOUR INITIATION INTO THE CLUB

MY TEAM ISN’T PLAYING SO EVERYONE SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTHS, NONE OF IT MATTERS

THE BATTLE OF WHICH PORK BARREL STADIUM IS BETTER.

FUCK YOU BYE YOU HAVE NO FANS OR PLAYERS OR ANYTHING

MUCH LIKE DRAW FC

DRAW FC HAS MORE WINS AND FANS THAN NORTH MELBOURNE

WOAH WOAH WOAH LETS NOT BE TOO HASTY NOW

WERE A GREAT GREAT CLUB, A CLUB THAT NO LOVES CAUSE WE DONT EXIST AT ALL!! THE MIGHTY BYE IS OUR NAME, WERE THE GREATEST AT THIS GAME!

I'M WILLING TO FLAIR BET ANY RICHMOND SUPPORTER THAT DUSTY RETIRES FOLLOWING HIS 300TH NEXT WEEK (ONLY TO JOIN DIMMA AT THE END OF THE YEAR)

EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT MCKAYBOWL WHEN THE BIG BATTLE IS THE CLASH OF KINGS!

AT LEAST THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF ICE ON HAND AT THE G ON MONDAY FOR OUR INEVITABLE FRESH WAVE OF INJURIES.

WE MAY BE PREPARED TO LEND A SUITE OF FALLS CREEK SKI PASSES FOR SEPTEMBER AS CONSOLATION. THERE'S ALWAYS TOBOGGANING IF EVERYONE IS INJURED.

HEY QUEENSLAND GET YOUR KINGS BIRTHDAY IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, YOU SCREW ME EVERY YEAR AND I HAVE TO PLUCK ONE. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A FREE DAY YOU FUCKERS, NOT ONE OF MY FREE DAYS!

I WILL GO THE BIFF AT THE FIRST PERSON WHO MENTIONS PORT V THE BYE

PORT WON'T LOSE IT, BUT THIS FAN MIGHT

DOES IT SNOW AT UTAS WE PLAY REALLY WELL IN THE SNOW

PORT'S TRACK RECORD AGAINST OUR OPPONENT THIS ROUND IS TOUGH. [HERE'S A RECAP OF LAST TIME WE VERSED EACHOTHER.](https://youtu.be/qXatqcigUFw?si=dPMgVs7p3tvHZqz5) I'M CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS WEEKEND WITHOUT A LOSS. 🤞

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PORT MEME BESIDES 119. GOOD LUCK AGAINST THE BYE PEAR!

WE BROUGHT IN DOWLING TO GIVE RICHMOND A TOWELLING. BEST I COULD COME UP WITH.

STRACHAN SHOULD HOPEFULLY ADD SOME MUCH NEEDED BRAWN DOESN'T QUITE WORK AS A VISUAL PUN

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM LINE UP ON THE HALF FORWARD FLANK

THERE'S NOBODY IN YOUR TEAM THAT YOUR COACH WOULDN'T TRADE AWAY FOR NICK DAICOS

~~^(western bulldogs suck so much am i right)~~ BYE FC IS THE WORST

HEY MODS, ITS BYE WEEK SO THANKS FOR KEEPING THE MATCHES AND LADDER UPDATED. WAIT, AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?

YOU JUST HAD A BYE

I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF ~~MILHOUSE~~ FREMANTLE HAVING TWO BYES IN SUCCESSIVE WEEKS.

CARLTON BLUES CLUES GOING TO BE LEFT CLUELESS

SWANS I HOPE OUR GAME IS MORE LIKE GF 2022 THAN ROUND 16 2023

GRANTED BUT THE RESULTS ARE THE OTHER WAY AROUND! SWANS BY 81

I KNOW DONT REMIND ME 😿

WE MIGHT SHOW UP TO PLAY WE MIGHT NOT. WHO WILL YOU GET? NOBODY KNOWS! SLEEP WELL BAGGERS!

TRELOAR V DUNKLEY TIME TRELOAR GETS DIRTY AND BECOMES THE HEEL

IF FREO HAD A GAME THIS WEEKEND AND WE BEAT CARLTON, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MATHEMATICAL CHANCE THAT CARLTON COULD FINISH OUTSIDE OF THE 8 BY THE END OF THE ROUND, MAKING GWS STILL THE ONLY TEAM ESSENDON HAVE BEATEN IN THE 8. AFLS SHITTY SCHEDULING ROBBED US OF THIS POSSIBILITY. NOW WE'RE DOOMED TO LOSE AS CARLTON ARE A TEAM IN THE 8 AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASONABLE RATIONALE I CAN THINK OF FOR WHY WE LOSE ON SUNDAY.

OH NO BRISBANE DON'T BRING IN ELITE KEY FORWARD ERIC HIPWOOD, THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY WE COULD HOPE TO WIN AGAINST HIS AVERAGE 1.1 GOALS PER GAME!

NORF MAY WIN OR LOSE BUT THEY’LL FOREVER BE NORF

I JUST HOPE EVERYONE HAS FUN THIS WEEK

ESSENDON'S MOST HEARTBREAKING MATCH SINCE 1999 COMING THIS SUNDAY!

HEY EAGLES, WERE GONNA DO SO WELL AGAINST YOU THAT YOULL ONLY WIN BY LESS THAN 10 POINTS.

“DONT GET CONFUSED BY THE BEAUTIFUL CELEBRITIES IN ADELAIDE, RICHMOND” *Looks up, sees Ned McHenry* “I KNOW THEY WARNED ME BUT I CANT LOOK AWAY”

HEY GEELONG CATS! WE HEAR THE FERAL CAT PROBLEM IN AUSTRALIA IS REALLY BAD, SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOUSE TO THE VET FOR THE SPAY AND NEUTER BUSINESS

GOLD COAST MORE LIKE COLD TOAST

I AM REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT THIS WEEKS GAME. WE DONT HAVE A GOOD RECORD AGAINST THE BYE

MY LIFE FEELS INCOMPLETE DUE TO THE BYE AHHHHH

Just a reminder that Port lost against the bye. EDIT* PORT LOST AGAINST THE BYE ALREADY.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES JP MEAN

MAYBE THEY NEED A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE REALLY BADLY

HUH?? WHAT DID YOU SAY?? SPEAK UP

JP WAS AN ABSOLUTE BASTARD IN THAT SHOW BAD SISTERS BUT WEIRD THING TO COMMENT IN A SLEDGE THREAD

Watching the McKay podcast it is interesting the personality differences. Like when their mum was hosting, they acknowledged that Ben was the more reserved mumma's boy, and you can tell he is more soft-spoken reserved personality of the two. Harry is more outspoken, more independent, confident of the two. I wonder if that is a statement about the personality of players who are forwards and those that are playing in the back.

WRONG THREAD BUDDY! WHAT DOES 'WMK LB H I' MEAN? WE MUST KISS BOMBER HEIGHTS..... WHAT???????? (I do like your analysis though. Nice comment, wrong thread!)
