Essendon - finals bound 2017

[officialjc]

one thing i know is that when on, they play orgasmic football proven many times this year. i have mentioned this before but i just love tipungwuti, mckenna, fantasia, daniher, merrett, parish and co. all exciting and likeable.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Unexpected result I guess. We aren't that bad and Port aren't that good. Probably both mid-range sides in reality.

 

[Rack Watts]

Probably not this year.
Our youngsters are good, but does it matter in the end?
GWS have twice the talent and will peak at the same time as us.

 

[exxcessivve]

Their forward line is ridiculously good. Daniher, Hooker, Fantasia, McDonald-Tipungwuti, Green and Stewart all playing at once. Crazy. Imagine when Francis comes in as a defender and floats up forward.

The issue with them is there's a brilliant essendon as we saw tonight and there the poor essendon seen against carlton. Reckon they could scrape in probably 8th, could see a richmond and essendon elimination final, that would be massive.

You mean Carlton in monsoon conditions? You'd be better served to reference the Melbourne game honestly

Carlton are a rebuilding team and have won 3 games all season, no excuse for not beating them.

 

[citizen-erased]

decent draw coming up
Travel twice to play the swans and suns. then its Vic for the remainder of the season
Two games against contenders (Dogs and Crows)

 

[Halftimehero]

Beat a team who have only beaten bottom 6-7 teams.

if you weren't here and saw the weather, you won't understand.
it would have been even odds for the globetrotters against the generals that day.
carlton played the conditions better.
Dry deck and i reckon its a different story.
we need to learn to play in the wet.

 

[Bombermania]

Easy to say yes see you bastards in September but being realistic for a moment I would say Essendon at best are bottom half of the eight but tonight showed the competition to be wary of the Bombers.

 

[Cmarsh]

They are teriffic at their best.

 

[Bombermania]

The pot is boiling but the lid is still on

At least you won a flag in 2000. We will also live in GWS' shadow

 

[schmuttt]

I did a ladder predictor with them on 15 wins lol, since they got the spoon they have the easiest draw in the comp.

It'd be a failure if they weren't to make finals this year.

We say that Hawthorn are losing by being crap now, maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Avoiding GWS' peak and building later.

Unless GWS keep trading into the first round (e.g. Taranto)

Certainly an easier run after the Swans game. However, when have Essendon ever beaten poor teams consistently? I'm less nervous when playing top 8 teams, than I am bottom teams.

 

[rideclutch]

I think they're a little way from the finished product, but a dangerous side and will take a few big scalps along the way.

8's not out of the question but looking to next year and beyond as contenders.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

With how the season has panned out so far anything can happen but we have the makings of a very good side.

 

[Rack Watts]

One thing I am very pleased with is our field kicking skills.
Merrett, Hurley, Goddard, Walla, Hartley and Daniher are all fantastic at delivering the ball by foot around the ground.

 

[FootyGeek]

Yes

NO!


I mean YES.

 

[Underarm]

If they play like that they will. If they play like how they played v Melbourne, or Collingwood, or Richmond then they don't have a chance.
