[Saint]

I think if I knew the result of the Freo v Dogs game, I would know what's going to happen here.

If the Dogs win and Dees couldn't make the finals then the Dees would win comfortably and miss finals. If the Dees knew finals were there for the taking they would fall short.

We are so far out of form and there doesn't seem to be much direction at the moment, so I'm going to say the Dees win by heaps, then the Dogs come out the next night and win by a point, Dees fall short on % from making finals after the Giants inexplicably beat the saints.

 

[Angus Young]

A Bombers win wouldn't surprise me here.

 

[Arctic fox]

They are our puppies.

 

[Power Raid]

dees by 17

 

[andon]

Melbourne my 8 plus goals in a canter.

 

[willydave]

As others have said, any outcome wouldn't surprise.

Anything from big dees win to bombers big win.

If the Dogs win and Dees couldn't make the finals then the Dees would win comfortably and miss finals. If the Dees knew finals were there for the taking they would fall short.

Never truer words spoken!

 

[footy75]

Melbourne by 2 goals.

But the Bombers may decide to get off the bus this week.

 

[windyhill]

Dees comfortably.

 

[Wosh]

Teams are up

 

[Bulldog1954]

I feel very uncomfortable needing to barrack for Essendon in case the Dogs lose

 

[rumply]

Yeah dogs only need to worry about Freo, couple of dees goals & the cue will be firmly in the rack if it isn't already.... Which it is.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

I feel very uncomfortable needing to barrack for Essendon in case the Dogs lose

I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Dees by 5 goals

Essendon a broken footy club atm

 

[LongPause]

Bombers by a decent amount purely because I heard a media pundit ( Probably a channel 7 gambling segment knowing their dealings with the devil.) describe their best form as "good" when they have been yoyo-ing between bellow average and mediocre for the whole season in my opinion. An ironic twist of fate to deny a potential finalist entry with their first "good" performance (40+) at the seasons end sums up the Bombers, AFTER the fact they got touted as one of those "at their best etcetera" teams by a guy trying to oversell underdogs to men of the odds.

I might have to have another crack at reading that last sentence once I’ve had my coffee.

 

[Jibroni]

Surely the AFL would want a Dees win to make the Bulldogs Freo game more interesting.

 

[brendan84]

* all for us to gain by winning, finals on the line for Melbourne.

Bombers by 31

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

fu** all for us to gain by winning, finals on the line for Melbourne.

Bombers by 31

Pick 5 here we come

 

[Igloo]

Go Bombers

 

[AcuteWhistle]

Pick 5 here we come

something to look forward to...

 

[Angus Young]

Show something Bombers..... for the love of god

 

[stormskye]

Unfortunately for dees fans this is exactly the kind of game melb lose. Freo playing good footy and a def a chance to knock over doggies.

Nah, If the Doggies lost today & the Dees were playing tomorrow I'd agree with you. Melbourne would most likely s**t the bed like we did with you in 2017 but as it stands I don't think there is much pressure on them as the likelihood of making the finals is slim.

 

[Alesana]

Must win game for Melbourne to play finals? Mark it down for a loss now
