Peptides! 2017 Round 1 Essendon Vs Hawthorn, #Roughyisback

[A Cut Above]

A long time since all their senior bodies played together. There will almost certainly be cobwebs, no matter how "fit" a player might be, these things fall away quite rapidly.

Not to mention Stanton & Watson were already cooked before the break & none of these Drug Cheats have experience playing under Worsfold's gameplan.

They'll be pumped to the eyeballs though, round one will unquestionably be Essendon*'s grand final. The past few years their members have been fed hope and the lie that the team will suddenly rise to Premiership contention when the drag saga is over. A poor start to 2017 would see them drop off in droves.

I predict they will start like a pride of wild lions attacking a zebra making their supporters confident, rowdy, and abusive to Hawk players and supporters. However, by the end of the day their members will be wanting to bury them in the holes their heads have been in since 2012, and it will be jab players receiving the abuse.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I think it will go this way:
- essendon will be pumped
- they will kick the first 3 goals
- hawk fans will boo jobe
- Jobe will kick a goal and we will hear the full hero's journey from the commentary team
- crowd will go full mental
- essendon players will be getting in our faces
- Hawks will win
- newspapers will talk about essendon

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Expect to a hear a lot about how brave the banned Bombers are to be back.

Popping pingaz, slamming bishes and getting paid to do nothing. What a life. s**t we should be so lucky.

Are last year's predictions available? Might be interesting...

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

So Someone on the Bombers board reckons their forwardline is better than ours. Even with two eyes I can't see how that can be true.

Happy for someone to play devils advocate here...

EFA

Whoever Simone is, she is either blind, delusional or not playing with a full deck.

Maybe all of the above.

No forward line is better than Roughead, Gunston, Rioli, Breust, Vickery and Puopolo.

Haha! Updated now.

That lineup looks pretty freakin good to me.

Sicily would be their 2nd forward and he's not even in this list.

Correct weight.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Essendon have one of the bottom 4 or 5 forward line's in the competition, if Roughead is available be have arguably the best forward line in the competition.

 

[PhatHQ]

Gibson Frawley Stratton
Birchall Brand Burgoyne
Smith Mitchell Gunston
Rioli Shoey Breust
Vickery Roughy Poppy

McEvoy Shiels Hodge

Omera, Burton, WX, Hartung

If the Big fella lines up against the Bombers expect the MCG to have the proverbial lid blown off when he kicks the first goal

She probably comes from that same majority that think Essendon has done nothing wrong.

 

[threesixpio]

A Roughy goal would be nice but a Hannerbury style crunch of Jab?

I hope not. We'd get six months of "how brave was Jobe to take that hit".

 

[threesixpio]

I hope not. We'd get six months of "how brave was Jobe to take that hit".

Opening bounce too. Forgot that detail

 

[threesixpio]

I'm going to seriously lose my s**t (in a good way) if Roughy plays round one.

 

[zucchini]

The cockiness on the injection board is pure gold.
Apparently they are gonna get close to us round one.
