8.6 to 0.2 since the 8 minute mark of the 1st. Just close the doors honestly.

18 point lead in the second half. And let it slip. Playing at home. 8 less scoring shots. 19 less inside 50s. And all we'll hear all week is how they should have won. Brilliant. :cool:

Dogs still “rebuilding” this week? Or doesn’t suit the media nuff narrative 6 days later?

Yeah… Crows will probably win but haven’t beaten the Bombers in 7 years (at any ground), have had one win for the season (by 2 points after kicking 16.4) and yet still go into this game $1.45 favourites. I’m not suggesting we are the role models of consistency and success … but are they that...

Fremantle (13th) coming off a 70 point loss and having lost 4 of their last 5 against Essendon (5th) are $1.65 favourites to win. Hmm OK. They’ll probably win (venue & post-BYE effect that seems to be impacting most this year) but certainly interesting on a couple of fronts…

Bit like our 3rd Quarter against Hawthorn when we had a 70+ point lead in the final quarter but let a few cheap ones in late to give some scoreboard respectability, hey.

North by 17.

Absolutely vulnerable. We need one or two of our starting midfielders back. North are pretty confident of knocking us off by the sounds of things. Who wouldn’t be when you’ve lost 8 in a row against your upcoming opponent and lost 28 of your last 31 games in general?

They (North) looked pretty good in patches today so we wouldn’t want to be heading into this one thinking all we need to do is rock up. Especially with the quality on our injury list (they have their own issues with injury). They are edging closer to a win. Hope it can wait another week.

What big questions? Heard all week about all the players West Coast have been missing (despite the inclusions of Yeo, Hurn & Barrass this week which many chose to ignore) but nothing said about Essendon's lengthy injury list that tonight included 3 of our first choice midfield (Parish, Shiel...

West Coast by 27.

It’s hard to believe that this was still happening not even 10 years ago on free to air. The Saturday 2:10pm game which was eventually telecast at 3:00pm (with a 3:20pm start by the time the game got underway) was equally as frustrating. And these were the days when Foxtel didn’t show every...

If any club could lose to West Coast right now with all their issues, it’s definitely this one. I would like to think not this time but never trust the red & black.

Geelong by 70. The bubble burst in the last quarter on ANZAC Day and won’t be recovering this week. They own us. We submit to them. Better all over the ground and more experienced.

I agree to an extent. But still 18th with a percentage of 59% - not great. Hope you win.

Crows are lucky they are “only” playing Hawthorn today because they would be copping a beating against 15-16 other clubs. They’ll still probably find a way here but I think the talk of a finals renaissance was a bit premature.

Shhh. Don’t try and change the narrative that Collingwood have all their “important” players missing this game. They are heavily favoured to win this game for a reason. Why? They are currently flag favourites which suggests they have a very deep list - which I agree with. And for good measure...

Collingwood are $1.45 favourites with the bookies heading into this one and already have 80% of the over 750,000 footytips.com.au tips, so they should be winning this one fairly easily. Particularly when you consider they finished top 4 last season and we were bottom 4, plus the expectations of...

They'll always have 1992 & 1994 though. When they look back at the record books in 50-100 years time, they won't be remembering that 2009 home & away game at Kardinia Park. It's in the 'who cares?' vault. Two Grand Final victories though 'away' from home against the same opponent has a...

Have they won a game at Adelaide Oval yet? Can’t recall.

Adam Simpson would even be more grateful, 5 years on, that Don Sheed kicked that match winner in the 2018 GF. Without that? Surely he’d be gone?

This will be ‘Bomber Thompson eating a sandwich in the coaches box’ material today.

We are travelling OK (for the moment!) but the thread subject STILL needs to go. There’s two people that are still involved at the club that need to go for us to have some fresh air for the first time in a long time: Dodoro and Sheedy. They’re a package deal. I think time is running out.

Absolutely brilliant call out from Ken Hinkley last night. And again on The Sunday Footy Show this morning of the treatment JHF has received. We already know a large percentage of the North supporter base are toxic but the JHF treatment has been next level disgusting. He’s 19. Hope he...

That Hawthorn midfield has to be one of the weakest any AFL side has ever put out on the ground. (and trust me, I've seen some shockers at my own club) Well done Hawks. Welcome back North. Not a 'Name A Game' classic but the right team won.

Come back Nino! We’ve missed you.

Even though the Giants sit below us on the ladder, I really can’t see them losing this game. They’ve been torched since that Sydney performance on the weekend and when the coach starts naming (or not naming players in this case), it’s generally going to hit the fan in some capacity. We have a...

There’s definitely a rivalry. I don’t think it’s a particularly strong one anymore and it probably peaked in that 1993-2003 era but there is one. In terms of ‘great’ rivalries? Probably not. This isn’t meant to sound condescending but the rivalry does mean more to North than Essendon. I still...

It could be a Tuesday 1:30am start and I doubt many would complain. This game, whatever the result, is going to tell us absolutely nothing. We are expected to win and if we do? Who cares. We don’t win? We are already very aware the cultural issues that exist at the club, particularly in...
