Preview Elimination Final: Western Bulldogs vs Essendon, York Park, Sunday 29/08/2021 @ 3:20 pm

[LLLLLOOOOOYYYYDDD]

I think the following match-ups are most likely to happen:

Keath - Wright
Cordy - Francis
Williams - Waterman/Stringer when he's down there
Wood - Perkins/Waterman as above
Duryea - Smith
Daniel - Snelling
Dale - Rotating mid (apart from Stringer)

The match ups aren't as good as last time but hopefully Francis can step up against Cordy yet again and Stringer can do the same to Williams. Smith on Duryea will be vital, we need a win there and for Snelling to beat Daniel as well.

Stewart - English/Young
Laverde - Naughton
Redman - Weightman
Gleeson - Vandermeer
Ridley - Hannan
Cutler - Johannisen
Heppell - Rotating mid

Stewart against the rucks is pretty much the one we need to win here. Laverde and Naughton should be a good battle and I'm not confident with Redman on Weightman but he's the only one quick enough to go with him. If Stewart can keep those two to under 3 goals we're a good chance.

Very confident redman get's the job done on him

How are we all feeling?

 

[Highly Evolved]

I hope we can do it and if we do, it'll be close. If we lose, it will be a blowout.

I'm expecting Parish to get a lot attention like last week, so we will need others to stand up.

How are we all feeling?

Nervous and a little pessimistic about our chances. But also very excited to see how we perform in a final. What about you?

Just my usual pre-game everything will go wrong frame of mind.

[Wahooti Fandango]

How are we all feeling?

Hopeful, excited and nervous. I think we'll lose, but put up a good fight.

 

[JayJ20]

Part of me is satisfied at the progression win or lose, but every other part of me wants to break this streak today. It would be so good if we could finally put it behind us.

Cmon Dons.

 

[TheDinosaur]

No better way to break the finals win drought



Wouldn’t be shocked by a 10 goal loss.

Game Day - Elimination Final 1: Western Bulldogs v Essendon, UTAS Stadium, Sunday August 29, 3.20pm AEST

ESSENDON BOMBERS There haven't been many times in the past few years that we've found ourselves coming into to finals on a decent streak of form; but today we're here on a three-match winning run thanks to an inept showing from Collingwood. We didn't really need to get out of first gear, as it...

Going a bit early on this one. It's game day, it's finals, let's make history.
