Preview Essendon vs Carlton, MCG, Saturday 05/08/17 @ 2:10 PM

[coastalpipeline]

If we lose our this game given all that we have at stake, we do not deserve to be a finals contender. This game should really be a percentage booster for us. Gibbs has had 30+ possessions against us in the last 3 times we have played them. Please tag him.

At the start of the game.
Step 1 Place into dirty laundry basket.
Step 2 Empty dirt laundry into washing machine.
Step 3 Wait for half an hour until spin cycle ends.
Step 4 Hang out on clothes line to dry.
Step 5 Bring in Laundry and fold to place in wardrobe or draw Now we have a nice clean Bibbs....Gibbs.

we've got this one in the bag. I'm taking my little boy- he's 3/3 so far. The spiritual talisman of the club.

You just stopped me from changing my tip.

Only games I've been to since Essendon v Melbourne in 2015 have been Brisbane and Dogs and I'm going on Saturday.

oh yeah- his schwartz is huge, just like his father.

In real life, I'd ask how you know the milkman so intimately, but not on here.

 

[BomberFan355]

y'all get a call from Dustin Fletcher too? Sounds like a nice guy but he's pushy, just talked over me

I put in on speaker and turned away from the phone.

 

[BomberFan355]

I'm worried about the stat i heard at around mid season, with teams that were in 17th position on the ladder having won the second most games. North were 17th when they beat Melbourne...

Is he related to the mailman?

Hang on did someone say we have Jake Lever signing to Bombers for 2018?

North were also 17th when we beat them too

Short answer, and we're in the real world - No.

It's cold but fine. They're not actually predicting rain until much later. I don't think we'll be playing wet weather footy. Kicking goals with a decent wind around may be difficult though.

Nice, better than the weather predictions from earlier in the week

I'm currently having breakfast at a cafe that's owned by mil hanna.

He tells me the blues can't win. I am not convinced.

 

[Howard Moon]

bit of breeze about last night

was hoping for it to stay - we would be sure to kick at 95% accuracy for goal

also i love when the boundary rider tells us the wind at the MCG tends to swirl.. like its the first time we have ever heard that fact

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Considering Tullamarine cops alot of wind the side should of plenty of practice dealing with playing against and with the wind.

I'm only 25

But I do yell at clouds. And strangers. And cars that drive too fast down my street. And Carlton fans.

I'm an old man

i woke up this morning with a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach... at first i thought it was the crab sticks, but then i knew

it was carlton today, and we are favs...

something has occured to me - this equilisation lark and the weighted fixture works against us right now

our 3 bogy side rivals all happen to be in the bottom 3 on the ladder

so lucky us, the three sides that when we play them, the ladder position goes out the window are the ones that make us look stupid

carl, bris, norf.

this blows.

Got some work to do then. Not enough grandstanding about supporters getting ahead of themselves and supporter arrogance losing Essendon games!
