[MaddAdam]

Nah that actually happened.

What about your make believe singalong?

Bit late in the day to be trying to score points in the "WHO WAS RIGHT ABOUT ESSENDON BEING DRUG CHEATS AND GETTING DONE FOR IT" Wars mate.

What? It's got nothing to do with that.

You were talking about our game this week and how much you enjoy our fans.

So tell us about that time you and your North mates sung "The Huns are going bust" at the Ess vs North game? I can't recall the entire story, it was a doozy.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Need to win the next 3 weeks before can seriously consider Essendon for finals in 2017. Too often have dropped or struggled in games they are clear favourites for which they will be against North and Carlton (beat essendon in rd 3). Beating WBD would deal them a big blow in making finals.

Gavin Excell strikes again.

Stand by this prediction.

Reckon theyll make it which will be a commendable effort.

Form ups and downs aside, essendon shows it can score goals quickly which is as important as anything

I'm genuinely laughing. This is too funny.

Regardless, most of you here will be cheering us on as according to Bruce we're everyone's second favourite team.

Am I too assume he provided a hierarchy matrix as evidence of this claim?

It's going to be the weakest top 8 in history, so it's only fitting that they should make up the numbers.

I expect the media to wank on about some lazarus type resurrection. Maybe they'll get Hird to do a lap of honor before the match?

 

[Jobe Watson]

Even if we don't make the 8, I think we've exceeded most people's expectations of us this year.

Gosh we have an exciting young list. Merrett. Daniher. Fantasia. McGrath. Future is looking very bright.

Why is this thread?

Why?

It's reassuring that we might finish 8th. Finishing 17th in the year of the weakest top 8 in history would be downright embarrassing. Sounds like a job for #norf

Meanwhile at the bottom of the ladder.....

Seems to be a topic you bring up any time I see you on Bigfooty.

Top 7 you mean. 8th this year will be better than last year.

 

[raskolnikov]

Doubt it. We'll drop one or two games that we really shouldn't, probably starting with North this week. Hopefully next year we'll be a lot more consistent.

Haha, Bruce has lost his marbles

Hey he called us 'sexy' last week. SEXY dammit!

To be fair, he used to talk like that about Hawthorn.

Don't you see? They aren't sexy anymore. WE ARE!

I had your side as a mid table 7 to 12 team. I think most people had your side in that category.

Most had us bottom six. More out of spite then thought.

Nope.

AFL.com.au 2017 predictions.

11 of 16 respondents have essedon in the 7 to 12 bracket. 3 had them in the top 8. The other 5 have the finishing 13th.

When viewed together this data would suggest a mid ladder finish
