[NetworkNerd]

Win and the bombers are in the 8.. Give the club and fans something... even if it is just for a day

No Lynch ( Concussion protocol )

Bombers by 26 points

 

[windyhill]

No Lynch ! Percentage booster incoming!! Ess by 3 points.

 

[aflstatsiq]

No Lynch ! Percentage booster incoming!! Ess by 3 points.

3 points is a percentage booster? bombers by 50+

3 points is a percentage booster? bombers by 50+

EFC do not pump teams.

 

[aflstatsiq]

Hoping for a big bounce back after Saturday and after the Tigers loss to North i think we might get one of our few big wins of the year - Tipping dons 30+ with Lynch and Balta out they should be easier to defend and easier to score against

 

[aflstatsiq]

50 is a bit much but I think we got it in us to win considerably 30+

 

[Vindicater]

Bombers in another 3 point bore fest.

 

[windyhill]

Ohh Noahhh

 

[THE_GUN]

I tipped the bombers to win and they should confortably

But if they dont the Tullamarine could be burnt down

 

[MisterMarcus]

Depends which Essendon turn up. The gap between their best (most of their wins and a few honourable losses against better teams) and their worst (borderline uncompetitive against Adelaide or Doggies) is enormous.

On paper they should easily account for the Tigers, but if the headless rabble we saw last week turn up, no reason Richmond can't get another good win.

The headless rabble will show up because Richmond's pressure will destroy our chip-kick game and we have nothing else.

 

[timokane]

Tigers to upset bombers and win this by 7 points

 

[Daka]

I'm not going to lie, don't rate Essendon at all even if they beat us... it's not going to change my mind.

I honestly will be disappointed if we don't win though, we should win even without Lynch & Balta.

 

[Cam Payne]

Second draw for the season.

 

[THE_GUN]

I honestly cannot see Richmond winning this game especially with no Lynch , Short , Balta
We will probably play 12 kids with 30 games or less.

But you never know watching the Bombers last week anything could happen

 

[_jrtp09_]

EFC do not pump teams.

Bombers’ defensive structure and efficiency should limit our scoring, with our young squad (no Lynch) still developing and facing challenges in maintaining consistent performance. This’ll pave the way for a comfortable Bombers victory, potentially by 30+ points.

 

[terrybull]

The headless rabble will show up because Richmond's pressure will destroy our chip-kick game and we have nothing else.

Don’t think the Tigers will have enough energy left to do a repeat this week.

I’m tipping the Tigers despite this, but no idea why. Positive thinking I guess.

 

[terrybull]

Second draw for the season.

I take that!

Can we offer it like they do in chess?

No Short is a positive. He is terrible now

hurts our set up big time
no Lynch means we are extremely young up forward.
