Bombers 2003

[dougthelegend]

There has been vastly differing opinions on the position the bombers will finish next season, where do u think we'll finish after the h&a?

 

[JUBJUB]

About 6th to 10th

It amazes me !
Why would we fall to 8th-12th next year ?

Look at the facts -

1. We coudlnt possibly have a worse year with injury in 2003
2. Lloyd couldnt possibly have as bad a year in 2003 at full forward
3. Salmon will be a better player in 2003 with 2002 under his belt
4. We lost caracella, blumfield and heffernan, but what did they do in 2002 anyway - nothing.

Well Essendon have gained nothing and lost a fair bit, so it's obvious that ppl think they will drop, and expecially condsidering that many other teams have gained good players, Essendon would finish between 6 and 10

Salmon is definately playing ?

I think you might be asking alessio to come back.

With Cupido feeding Lloyd, you can`t help but be excited.

All arguable:

1. You can definitely have worse injuries. Look at Carlton/St Kilda from 2002. And if you think injuries won't wreck two consecutive seasons look at West Coast '00-'01.

2. Unlikely Lloyd would have two bad years in a row, but its just as possible that 00-01 were his stellar seasons, and his '02 form on the park is what you are going to get (it wasn't that bad when he actually played).

3. Salmon is 38? now. I would very much doubt there is any improvement to be made now.

4. What's to say that Cupido, McPhee or any new draftees will be better? They still have to cover what your departures did, and that's more than nothing. Nothing is what Carey did in '02.

I think Essendon can't make 1-2, are still an outside chance for the 4, much more likely 6-9 range. Shouldn't fall below that, there is still too much class there.

Hopefully it's Lloyd, and not Rioli that he feeds.

Yep - at this rate, he'll be the best ruck in the land by the time he hits 40.

Take into consideration that they are ageing.

 

[peruka]

Maybe if some of you get down on your knee's every night and pray, pray like youve never prayed b4 we might finish out of the 8. What club do you think we are, the bulldogs for god's sake?

 

[Watto]

Out of that, 5 to 8.

Oh the humour, stitch me up.

 

[daicos4ever]

6-10. There are more better teams than them next year in my opinion. Might make it, might not. Depends on injuries etc.

Maybe because he is fatter than Eddie McGuire? Is Mentally weak and unfit?

 

[MJ_RULES]

Top 4 because I believe in my Club, and I know what they can do when the critics come out.
Have seen it to many times before to doubt them.

If you'd seen his old man play (Sebastian, "the keg") you'd know where his bad habits come from.

He really needs to be alot more professional.
