I know hawthorn are a bogey side and all, but I’m a little less worried about next week.

They were our bogey side as well losing 5 in a row. No Will Day no Hawks. So satisfying to humiliate them at the G

I watched Agenda Setters for the first time tonight. Crap name for a show, but I actually enjoyed it. Edgier and more engaging than the boys club shows on offer on Fox.

Hate to admit this, but Kano was quite good.

Are the Sportsbetting companies and tipsters in Australia on crack or something? Carlton firmed all last week against a team that beat Geelong at GMHBA a fortnight earlier for some absurd reason. Now the bookies have Carlton $1.40 favs to beat Essendon Saturday week. I think the Bombers will roll them comfortably. I'm just not sure where this delusion that Carlton are a good side stems from? They're a myth of a football team

We played the Saints in that time slot in 2021 at the MCG and got a crowd of 18k.

It’s a crap time, and when your team is down the crowds don’t come.

There was a real dearth of enthusiasm at that time, pre-Fly and during the height of the pandemic

This would be hilarious though I don't think Essendon have the cattle. Their mid-season draft pick will have to play on Friday night as Laverde is their only tall defender...

But if Essendon beat Carlton with midseason recruits beating Curnow and McKay then I'm predicting a lengthy ban coming my way from the Carlton board.

Don't do it bro, the Carlton mods will tar and feather you

Sorry I thought this was the ****n other games thread. My apologies

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Sorry I thought this was the ****n other games thread. My apologies

Yeah my bad. Sorry

However I personally don’t care about betting odds so prefer this thread to be about games that have been played already, not about who is playing who next week or which team should start as favourites.

To answer your question though Essendon have a lot of injuries

2021 hardly a good year to use for crowd comparisons. It’s better than 2020 but not by much…

Average attendance league wide was 24000 and Collingwood 32000. This year so far it’s 40,000 and 60,000.

That twilight crowd of 18000 when we came second last is pretty good in context

Tonight’s the definition of a hate watch. Would love to see the Lions win by 100+ and they actually could.

I'd prefer they win by a point.
I don't want their percentage to get too big a boost.
Yeah, they've had the draw, which might render percentage redundant, but we had two last year, and missed the finals - on percentage.

Brisbane aren't a team that wins by 10 goals, they only really beat the Tigs by 5 goals after letting the gas off

 

[Fat Jesus]

Prefer Essendon to win as they're no threat

 

[gouki88]

Prefer Essendon to win as they're no threat

Yeah, would love them to pull off a major upset with no backline

 

[Pistol Night]

Prefer Essendon to win as they're no threat

Yeah id rather Essendon easily. We go 6 points clear tomorrow night with a win if Brisbane lose tonight. Huge

 

[swoop42]

That injury list of Essendon almost has me feeling sorry for them.

Almost!

Brisbane by plenty.

 

[Doc1763]

This makes me ill, but, Go Dons!!!

Oh God!!!

 

[unplugged]

Carn the bombers

But Brisbane by 12 goals

 

[JuniorB]

Oh God!!!

Wash your mouth out!
