Obviously out is Steele. I think windhanger comes into the 22 and bytel if fit is sub. If webster is fit I’m confused what they do. Either Paton out and the same structure or Byrnes out Paton go Byrnes spot and Webster back. Or the last one which wouldn’t be that fair is webster in the seconds.

Hopefully Steele isn't the straw that breaks the camels back

Huge opportunity for Hunter Clark

Looking forward to this one, me and 15 others flying down from the Gold Coast to attend. Yip Yip!

I’ve been negative every week pre-game so I’ll try save it. We’ve played some great team system footy so far - I just know our history for big milestone games that we build up... not to mention our usual Essendon yips. over to you RTB.

 

[SaintsForFlag]

What's the pass mark for crowd total?
For such a big game for us as a club I'm going to say 60k however really hoping for 70k

I did hear they were expecting 70k

 

[plugger66]

I did hear they were expecting 70k

Hope you are right but the g are thinking 55k based on all their evidence of sales so far. It should be at least 70k especially if the dons are unbeaten.

It’l be 70k+ I haven’t got much doubt about that, especially if the dons win this arvo.

I fancy us against this handball happy mob, OUTs or no, we’ve shut down 2 teams now and the dogs had their handball chains and running stopped pretty much 85% of the game.

Kyle “my mum’s a MILF” Langford has five against the Suns.

Reckon he might find it a bit tougher against Wilkie, Battle, and Howard, than Charlie Ballard

Lyon's coaching record is 10-4 against Brad Scott.

 

[Mowman]

Last time we were 3- 0 2009 - 2010

 

[Sully111]

[Dard Ball Get]

Reckon we’ll have these peahearts by

[Mowman]

Let's get it.

from the sounds of it you have already had it

 

[George]

2013 was the last time Essendon started 3-0.
Round 2, 1998 was the last time Essendon beat us at the MCG.
Since 1980, Essendon has only ever beaten us twice at the MCG (Round 2, 1998 and Round 16, 1992)
Since 1980, we are 4-2 against the Bombers at the MCG

What’s the stats on when the last time Essendon wasn’t made up of red neck-beards and crepe paper manlets, lead by a coach who hits journalists from behind like the dumpling coward he is?

Unfortunately the Bombers have had a long history of red neck-beards and the like. I trawled through the history and disappointingly this was the case as far back as 1903.

Mick Madden, for shame.

Flushing in the cheeks/face is a well known side effect of steroid usage. Typical, jabbing back in 1903 ffs
