Preview Round 24 - Essendon Bombers vs Collingwood Magpies - Friday, August 25th - 7:50 pm - MCG

[I Remember Bluey]

At least it's a Friday night!

And sold out I believe

 

[Shanghaistu]

This is a dream-come-true for Fly - he can rest all of his A-graders and still enjoy a morale-boosting 100+ point win. Hope he at least buys a beer for his old mate Scott after the game as a thank you

Out: Heppell Kelly McGrath Draper Stringer 2MP

Haha don’t worry about making teams with big changes.

We all know it will be two changes only.

Probably Cox and Tsatas.

And sold out I believe

Watch for large empty blocks in Essendon members seating area. Already had three mates message to say” **** them, not going” I’ll go, can’t turn my back on them but can’t begrudge any supporter for not showing up. Not just yesterday, last two decades. Shit show doesn’t cover it.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

can we forfeit

 

[jmoo wan]

i’m taking the kids to this one, i’m hoping one of them cracks the shits and we have to leave early!

 

[BratPack]

Collingwood by 400

 

[Westlo]

Weideman is actually contracted for 2 more years. I’d still pay him out.

Our great list manager.

Stewart 2 year contract should get people sacked, 3 years for Weid?

 

[Nifft]

I don't believe in a 24 round season. This weekend is the pre finals bye.

 

[brutus76]

I'm 46yo - will happily stand in the back pocket as a witches hat for FREE

 

[Call Me Cake]

Dodoro to do a lap around the ground and we can all throw pretzels at him

 

[Happyskeret]

I don't believe in a 24 round season. This weekend is the pre finals bye.

I’m glad we didn’t have to play a wildcard round.

 

[justlookingaround]

what happens if we lose by 300 points?

 

[bennyg12]

Cox can go play in the sandpit not on a football field

Wanna know what's worse. Stewart just kicked 5 goals in the VFL, which I'm pretty sure is a feat no one else on the team managed this year.

 

[eth-dog]

There's an argument to be made that Stewart is still out second best key forward

 

[Shanghaistu]

Collingwood $1.18 for the win? Was there ever a more guaranteed way to make 18% return on investment in 2.5 hours?

 

[creepyguy23]

wtf all you flogs are so negative
If we win this game by 170 we are a chance to sneak into the finals

I’ve got it - everyone chip in, I’ll bet on the Pies with $10 K, and the Dons will win! At the very least, the Universe will go into overheat realizing it has to provide one good result out of the two

True. All we'd need is Geelong to beat the Bulldogs and the Scumbaggers to beat GWS by 170.

Throw sheedy in, marshmallow central !

 

[srobbo]

Hopefully Tippa & Heppell are given a farewell. I’ll def be in attendance to pay my respects.
