You play the Eagles and you will get a win...Dons by 75 points

 

[YeoShuey]

Bombers by 56

 

[Tugga27]

After the hammering WC have received in the press, reckon it's a danger game for Essendon.

Bombers by 96.

 

[windyhill]

Would be happier if it was over here.

 

[VicBased]

Please, please, please, just let us show some intent. I don't care if we lose just make a game of it.

 

[DanWA]

Please no more injuries

 

[Ari]

I need a 52pt win here Bombers!!

 

[Macca18]

If any club could lose to West Coast right now with all their issues, it’s definitely this one.

I would like to think not this time but never trust the red & black.

 

[citizen-erased]

Would be happier if it was over here.

That one is later in the year

Id just about give you guys the pass to save from anymore injuries if you agree to a 100pt margin

 

[citizen-erased]

Please no more injuries

Have you tried an exorcist?
Or counterspell?

It isn't good.

I'm thinking we need to look at mid season draft concessions where the bottom 4 can select any player from any other club, if they have played less than 4 games out of 10 and in at least their third year.

Can't see many going for something like this tbh.

I feel like most West Coast sides I’ve known would show some fight after the week they’ve had, but it’s bloody hard to do that when you’ve barely got a list to choose from. Given that, it’s hard to blame them if it ends up being another heavy defeat really. If they keep it under 50 points it’s an amazing result.

Nah real supporters just ride these occasional s**t seasons out, we don’t want the League to bend and twist to accomodate us. It’s our turn to be crap and that’s all there is to it, it won’t last for like 6836 days amirite zackah and eth-dog

I’ll just watch like this

Right now I’d consider anything under 100 an amazing result lol

 

[Shanghaistu]

Not such a foregone conclusion…. 33% of the Eagles wins in the last 36 games have been against us…

Personally I love footy and enjoy watching other sides as much as I do port. Even watching SANFL or WAFL is great, when seeing the young kids develop. What I don't find entertaining is watching sides who simply can't play footy........and yes every club hits this point at some stage. So a part of what I suggest is to enable the AFL to have a better quality product more regularly.



In the case of the eagles..........it is currently very ugly on the park. but from a club perspective the eagles' business will continue to thrive. Clubs like the Roos and Suns don't have that privilege................when they are down and out, so to is their club and to such an extent their existence is in question.

To mitigate this, the weaker clubs fear bottoming out and make short term decisions like recruiting poorly in a bid to remain competitive (roos). In doing so, they will always struggle to compete for a flag or worse dig the hole they seek to avoid. Essentially undermining the competition as a whole.

What I'm proposing brings integrity to a competition that has so many inequalities such as travel, footy vs non footy markets, club revenues, club supporter bases and marketing etc etc.

West media hammering WC this week. So they will do their very best for Simpson.

Dons by 116.

You'd remember better than me, but in my life of watching footy since 1990, i can remember 2 eras of poor eagles sides outside this current couple of years where covid and injury has ravaged a post-flag list.

Judge era, and that post flag woosha era before it bounced.

You guys are never down long.
Compare that to our last 20 years.....
