Essendon v Richmond - What will be acceptable?

[Darealrath]

Just win. We can put virtually a 2 game gap between us and 9th (assuming Port loses to the Crows) if we do. Further % will likely be unnecessary. I'm not confident enough to be tipping a blowout either; richmond will have a good crack.

 

[bombre-boy]

A four quarter effort would be nice....
Which is what i think we will need to beat the tigers...

 

[1980GFVideo]

You wont be able to curtail 'Jake King'.

The man is a match winner.

 

[tigerbait]

7-8 goals minimum. Richmond are pure excrement.

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Let's hope it's tanks very much & we win by at least 12 goals..

 

[warney7]

Yeah, umm, something ain't right this morning.

I really hope I'm wrong but the initial solid victory I was after, has been downgraded to just a win.

It's just a matter of ticking all the boxes.

Weather is superb so no chance of the rain getting the Tigers into it.

 

[Macca18]

I've got a sickly feeling about today.

Sh*t will fit the fan if we can't get up, guarenteed.

 

[warney7]

I guess if we don't get up, we just have to accept that it's because we're not good enough yet.

However, I don't believe that is the case.

 

[ChelseaFC]

The game will be won in the third quater.

If we have the edge there then richmond can say goodnight.
Honestly, if we loose i dont believe we deserve to play finals. I dont want to lookback and say loosing to the kangaroos and tigers cost us a finals spot.

Essendon by 35 points IMO

yeah

i can the game runnning a similar course to that of the last encounter when we blew it open in the second half.

Richmond will be VERY hungry for redemption, we will take them lightly and be punished for it in the first half. I know it.

Don't jinx us!

We will be fine! Any win will make me happy. 1 point or 50 points, its the 4 points we need. Obviously a percentage boost would be great, although percentage is not what we are desperate for.

 

[Valve Bounce]

Your inability to understand the difference in the 2 situations is disappointing, especially when I like to think Essendon supporters are fairly bright....

I am not suggesting Rawlings will tank - but it is a possibility. They already have three and a half wins, and a win would cost them the Priority pick.

As far as I am concerned, and I posted this above, if we come out with a win, no injuries and no reports, I'd be thrilled. I certainly would like Essendon to win on merit and not on their tanking.

The players will be looking at this game very differently then most supporters. For most of them, it's their first real chance at finals, I don't think any of them will be taking any of our remaining games lightly.

I really hope you are right mate, Richmond give up at half time if they are beaten.

 

[ghostdog]

Feeling good about this.
Our attitude to begin the games against Collingwood and the Dogs was great. We will want to prove we aren't there to make up the numbers. I hope we put in a consistent four quarter effort and absolutely humiliate Richmond.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

4 points, no injuries, and a functioning forward line

ffs

 

[DapperDon]

ffs

I had to lol, you got them all

 

[Macca18]

A classic example of why threads like this should be banned.

FACT - Everytime anybody begins one, WE LOSE.

Never. Again.

 

[peejay]

nothing less than a debarcle. 10 goals and counting against this scum with our home ground to bring in the fans.......my only worry is that the scum tend to win when there supporters dont go and they wont go to this game. If we want to be real contenders then we best step up now

I'll ignore most of what you said here because i am sure you are hurting now.

But having a go at out loyalty is a bit rich and really quite uninformed.

Well he was right, you guys won and **** all of your fans turned up.

 

[thecotch]

40 pts.

Lloyd 12 goals, nothing less will be accepted.

Close. Ouch.

 

[George Washington]

Close. Ouch.

In case the Lloyd 12 goals didn't tip you off I was being sarcastic about the nature of the thread.

Really? Crowd was almost 50K and it was 50/50.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

It's an absolute disgrace to lose to that shithouse rabble that they put out.

Terrible side, very few players of AFL quality yet they somehow conjured a win with less stats across every line.
