CHALLENGE GAME – GIVING CANCER THE BOOT

The Bombers’ annual Tackling Childhood Cancer game will take place at Marvel Stadium on Friday night against Western Bulldogs. Challenge is a not-for-profit that supports children and their families living with cancer.

In partnership with Challenge, proudly the Club’s charity partner for over 20 years, the Bombers will wear the Challenge logo on their guernsey which will also feature the yellow armband, inspired by former premiership player and cancer survivor Adam Ramanauskas

what a ripping contest

The loser probably misses finals the winner probably makes finals. A genuine 8 point game neither team can be trusted. Both teams rely so much on their top players to perform and do not get an even spread. It may come down who has the most influence The Bont or Zach Merrett.

 

[Toump Ass]

Is there some kind of record for most consecutive games played by a key forward without actually scoring a goal? Because Sam Weidemann must be close to owning it. No idea how he hasn’t been dropped yet, what a spud.

Still, bombers to bounce back. Sorry Doggies!

 

[Xtreme]

Essendon by 60

The loss against Geelong was the wake up call they needed, now they will steam roll into finals!

You just know that if he is selected again, pencil him down for 4 goals.
Essendon by 13 points.

[Millsie69]

Hoping it's a belter as I'll be in Melb to see it!

Looks like it could be a sellout too, given the current availability of tickets.

 

[JackFlash]

In the Battle of the bozos, Dogs by 16 points

 

[_Cerberus_]

Both teams have only beaten one team inside the top eight all season. So never understood why both teams have gotten hyped up at some points during the season. Both teams in a battle for the Overrated Cup, with a finals spot on the line. The loser could end the round as far back as 12th, and do not deserve to play finals.

No prediction from me. As either team can win it, a real 50/50 game where any result, no matter how big or small, would not surprise me for many reasons, whether a 10 point win or a 40 point win.

 

[brmi]

Dogs for the win by 4-5 goals. 2 metre Peter to kick 6 goals.

 

[Zevon]

Finding this extremely hard to pick. Will go with the Doggies but with zero confidence.

 

[Macca180]

Think Dogs but can't trust them.

welcome to our world.

 

[Toump Ass]

welcome to our world.

Worth the risk I reckon, he played a great elimination final against the Cats in 2018- the talent is there.
Goddamn is he cooked in the head though.

No issues with the risk....he would be on a peanut contract so its barely a risk in the first place, but you got to know when to drop them.

He had a mediocre first 7 games and then a complete abysmal 10 games.

Essendon has a culture of feeding games into out of form footballers. We dont have competition for spots. Essendon won't change any time soon until we have competition for the senior team. Which is a basic requirement for any club pushing for finals.

Just one big superannuation fund sometimes.

 

[windyhill]

Like Geelong, The Pups are another team who own us mentally, generally just toy with us.

[Truetiger]

Would be nice to see the Dogs beat em

 

[hutchy31]

Like Geelong, The Pups are another team who own us mentally, generally just toy with us.

Unfortunately mental strength isn't something you can ascribe to either team this year against the better sides. A resistable force against a movable object.

I'll probably tip my team given recent history in these games and the fact they're (rightly) being given a serve in the footy media this week, but wouldn't surprise me if Essendon's ball movement carved up our midfield and backline in transition and they won by 5-6 goals.

No Hutchy ! You’re sitting on the fence here mate !

 

[TheUnicorn]

Looking forward to this one, Going to be a very exciting game! Both teams love going hell for leather.

He hasn't lined up against our defenders yet to be fair
