Chime in on the game!

 

[timokane]

Thud essendon a some 6 goal lose in coming

 

[voorhees]

will be interesting to see how the bombers back up there win last week.

 

[TheUnicorn]

GC at home are a different beast, may get ugly! especially if Petracca comes back and Rowell with another game under his belt.

 

[JackFlash]

The Bombers will be taking a dive they can't fly out of against the Suns who will win by 50 points

 

[Vindicater]

Was nice to get a win on the board but we will be back to normal programming this week.

Suns by 52 points.

 

[Billy ray]

Wöööööö

Pũũũũmpêð

 

[kreglze]

Petracca and Humphrey back this week will be a lift.

Finally will get to see the fabled Rowell, Anderson, Petracca midfield.

 

[Xtreme]

Suns by 99

 

[kreglze]

Petracca and Humphrey back this week will be a lift.

Finally will get to see the fabled Rowell, Anderson, Petracca midfield.

Anderson out, getting his appendix removed. I retract my statement.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

I expect Essendon by 45pts with the likes of Gresham, McKay, Wright and Tsatas to be too overwhelming for the developing GC side.

 

[Cam Payne]

Who knows which Essington turns up but Suns should win this comfortably. 30 points

 

[Lance Uppercut]

just hoping for no cyclone

 

[rdhopkins2]

Great win for the dons last week. Is anyone brave enough to back them at the GC this week.
It’s a no for me. Suns should be too strong at home.Hope Essendon packed the suncream as the rays are going to be strong.

 

[TasSixer]

Big game for Nick Foot

 

[Brenton87]

I expect Essendon by 45pts with the likes of Gresham, McKay, Wright and Tsatas to be too overwhelming for the developing GC side.

This could be the worst prediction of all time

 

[GC2015]

Trac back. Doesn't bode well for the Bombers.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Trac back. Doesn't bode well for the Bombers.

Nope. Suns ins are imposing

 

[Jirik13]

Are Bombers ready for sunny, 28 degrees?

Suns have talls all over the place.

 

[voorhees]

good to see Petracca back
suns by 40-50p

 

[Pies No 1]

Gold Coast should win easy. But it wouldn't suprise me to see Essendon pull something out the bag. Gold Coast are not the most reliable in games like this.

 

[Orange crush]

Anderson out, getting his appendix removed. I retract my statement.

you deserve a lot of blame for summoning the footy gods on this one

 

[Billy ray]

I feel for the poor bastards sitting on the outer wing in the direct sun.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Essendon will win this.
They’ll carry their form from last week into today with the likes of McKay, Gresham and Wright.
Felt as though last week was their turning point as a club.

 

[hawkman]

Who is paying Foot this week?
