The way it should be. You will be able to see some of the future stars of the competition. Very lucky. Neagle will come back in this week and Hislop is a real chance also. You will see plenty of young guns from Essendon. Unfortunate that Gumbleton wont be playing this Friday but be patient and you will see him in the next month.
Who will try hardest to lose? It's nailbiting!

If I wanted to watch VFL standard footy I'd tune in to the Phil Cleary and the boys on ABC. As for Gumbleton, the only coverage he's likely to get is on RPA - chronic hamstring unit for overrated duds.

so you'd prefer to schedule the rounds 6 weeks or so in advance, as the NRL does?

How were they to know how the teams would be traveling 6 months in advance? They probably thought that the Bulldogs were not going to be a team to get high ratings given they came 4th last last year.

coming from a team that has the worst backline in the league

Eagles and Essendon have a strong rivalry going way back to Sheedy vs Malthouse and the clashes are generally good spectacles regardless of the teams' ladder position.
Don't write it off yet.
SHould be a close one.
Hopefully we can beat the Dons at the Dome this time.....

We saw some on Saturday night too. Unfortunately for Essendon fans, Kennedy and Morton showed more talent than anything under wearing red and black.

your mob has conceded more points than any other team this year.also has the worse %. i'd say that makes the bombers the worse backline in the league

What a shite game that'll be.
And not only because I have no players from either side in my DT.
Essendon FC - Doing its best to set the development of the game back one loss at a time :thumbsu:

No not really, did you even watch the Essendon vs West Coast match last season on a Friday night. Good game it was, I was there.
Good games get rewarded.

Coming from a team thats hasn't won a flag for 17 years. At least Essendon have managed to win 2 in that time
we'll so beat them (at losing).

Tell us what you really think! :p

Are they the 2 won whilst exceeding the salery cap?? :thumbsd:
Big call, tucky.
You've probably been tuned out of what's been happening for most of the modern era because you haven't been a part of it.
Until a bloke approached you and said, "I am the messiah...how about a f___?" - then you woke up.

So the bombers didnt get fined for breaching the cap,sorry my bad:rolleyes:
Would be very keen for you to expand on the relationship between salary cap breaches and the 2000 flag...

why wouldnt we be on FTA, the advertisers love us! the cricket scores that get regularly kicked against us allow plenty of room for ads in between opposition goals! :D
now who's holding up the rest of the league!!! haha

So you dont deny the cheating to win in 93.thats good,glad we cleared that up

Case closed.
As requested above, please explain the relationship between salary cap cheating and just one of the "2 won whilst exceeding the salery[sic] cap" - 2000.
If you can't, then I'll leave you to meander around your fantastical, Buddy-coloured dreamworld.

Nope. We cheated and it payed off. Poor Carlton bastards, they cheated. Made the GF. Got beaten AND got severely penalised.
They should've taken a leaf outta our book on how to do it properly.:)

More like we should have stacked the AFL with our supporters like the bummers did.
We were never charged or convicted of cheating the cap in an year we won a flag. You have. Big difference.

Excellent point. Now just point out where in my post I said you did?:)
Unfortunately, both Carlton & Essendon were caught for breaches :- AFTER the event. Unless the AFL investigators can read the future....

Ease up...he is a dogs supporter. I am surprised he can afford the internets let alone use a PC.
so you'd prefer to schedule the rounds 6 weeks or so in advance, as the NRL does?
Sounds like a plan.
How were they to know how the teams would be traveling 6 months in advance? They probably thought that the Bulldogs were not going to be a team to get high ratings given they came 4th last last year.
And where the %&*# did you guys finish last year?
Eagles and Essendon have a strong rivalry going way back to Sheedy vs Malthouse and the clashes are generally good spectacles regardless of the teams' ladder position.
Don't write it off yet.
Bull schyt it will be like watching road trauma.
Ease up...he is a dogs supporter. I am surprised he can afford the internets let alone use a PC.
Oh I get it, Bombre supporters are rich and can afford foxtel and the internet but Dogs supporters are poor and can't. Good one.
But incorrect, but it is Bay 13 and you are entitled to have a crack.
No not really, did you even watch the Essendon vs West Coast match last season on a Friday night. Good game it was, I was there.
Good games get rewarded.
Not the way it works. Interesting you are a North supporter and you are defending crappy Essendon FTA games potentially pushing your team's fixtures onto pay TV.
we'll so beat them (at losing).

Hey f***wit, I've got foxtel, my argument is that the Bombres get a disproportionate amount of FTA games for a side that has been ordinary for 3 or 4 years now.
And where the %&*# did you guys finish last year?
5th last and the Eagles finished the home and away season in the top 4.

how many points have essednon conceded? and how many have carlton conceded?
ur backline is a joke
dustbin is on his last legs, mal is shit house, patty rider is like ur best defender which is sad actually
at least we have a young, developing backline that has a future
mal and distbin have no future at essendon after this year

Got it.
Seriously you are an idiot, ask Kennett,Robson and the rest of your powerbrokers what the Hawks would choose, Friday night or Saturday arvo.
They would choose Friday night.

Dogs dont hold a candle to the might of the DONS. The people want to see the great red and black, the Y generation are mainly DON supporters they should be compulsory viewing every weekend!
DONS to notch up another win this weekend!
I wonder how many of you guys are making the trip over. At the start of the season, there were quite a few who said they were coming over, be interesting to see how many bother coming now.
Essendon and West Coast supporters are looking forward to it and thats all that matters.
With no Hird to rip us apart this time? Yes, we certainly are looking forward to it.

DONS own West Coast.
its a one sided rivalry
more of the same to come

We do have this player who has kicked 13 goals in the last two games against you.

fact is, the 2 contests that these sides had in 07 were rippers! sure they are not going to be the same teams of previous years (missing judd, hird, etc) but these clubs have a great rivalry and generally play good close games of footy. Im sure in the end everyone enjoys watching a game that goes down to the wire between 2 clubs that have a history against each other. plus this year the stakes are different as they are in a 4 horse race for the wooden spoon, something that they both dont have many of and probably dont want any in future.
its good to see the bottom 4 sides throwing up a bit of a contest each week of late. competition is very even and everything is wide open

People want to see Essendon play. No surprise that we have so many Friday Night Games. Offered up a great match against the Crows recently. Look out for one David Myers on Friday. Kid is a gem.
