Essendon will make the top 10

[Kaan]

We are a better side than Melbourne, West Coast, Fremantle, Richmond, Carlton and North Melbourne. With Lucas and many big players returning mid season I believe we'll be fighting to make the 8, but we'll defenently make the 10.

Richmond are doing pretty good...

Next week will decide the better team.

 

[Kong]

yeah as much as i hate to say it, for the first time in my life richmond are actually promising to be something. too bad about richo finding his niche once his career is nearly over.

 

[Burzum]

Next week will decide the better team.

You have already decided though...

 

[Lance Uppercut]

____ Richmond. I have some Richmond supporting "mates", and whilst I cleaned up last year finishing above them, I really don't want to have to give that cash back

 

[The_Young_Gun]

If we beat Sydney by a point, I'll tip Essendon to beat Richmand.

If Sydney beat us by a point, I'll have to tip Richmand over us.

Our Players will need something to be positive about next week, if we wanna beat Richmand.

Top 10?? LMAO!

Top 10?? LMAO!

Come on this board and act like a clown is only valid for people that follow a team that has a winning culture and play with passion...

Anyway, relating to the thread, we might make the top 10, but I wouldn't be making any predictions about us yet, a few question marks on people coming back about whether or not they'll return sooner or later such as Dempsey, Lucas & Davey, and we are a very vulnerable when getting hurt on the rebound, add to that our young team, I think we should just leave our bald predictions when we have a full team and our boys grow in confidence & presence....

Sorry, you seem to have me confused with another team supporter??

Just never heard of finishing 9th or 10th spoken of with such enthusiasm is all. Something I would expect of one the supporters of the team you have confused me being one of, not a Bomber supporter.

Looking forward to next week and seeing whose kids are progressing the better. Both teams should drop all the 'older' types and let the 'future' play IMO.

When did you guys last win a premiership..? Richmond supporter yeah..? I haven't got confused at all, but hey, if you want to try and twist things then you can do that, just don't expect much respect...

We have been a really successful club, we are involved in a strong rebuilding phase atm and we haven't had top draft picks for sometime because of our success...So all I expect from the Bombers boys against Richmond is a competitive effort, not really demanding a win, just wanting to see some real positives from some of our real classy young players...If we both play our kids, your mob will probably just win, but it wouldn't come as a surprise because we have had some success and have no top draft picks for sometime and our new coach is changing our game-plan, so yeah, but would demand nothing less than a competitive effort no doubt...

All those injuries have made you delusional.

 

[fishguts]

Top 10?? LMAO!

What, we've atleast kept ninth open for you

 

[warney7]

Haha, Kangaroos.........What???

They'll be playing finals footy, while we work out who to take with our first pick!

Essendon right at this moment will be lucky to get away with 15th.

Freo and West Coast still have their home advantage so should be able to snare at least another 5 wins each.

I can't say the same for us.

 

[BomberAce7]

Agree! We are nowhere near top 10! 1/2 of our list are a mob of Donkeys!

 

[adamcf]

I'd like to think that the 'Dons are better than at least Carlton and Melbourne.

not with your game plan or injuries (our injuries are getting pretty shat as well). how many blokes will you have back by the time we play again?

 

[Tambu]

For our rematch game I'd say...

Definite outs:
Davey, Lee.

Most likely to miss but chance to play:
Dempsey, Hocking.

Barring future injuries, the rest should be right to play.

 

[WindyHillWatcher]

I like your optimism and I would like to see it happen, but I'm just a broken man right now when it comes to the bombers. If we beat sydney I'll be better

 

[The Donners]

Top 10?? LMAO!

All this talk about Richmond finally being about to do something, we beat Swans today and we're above your ass, LYAO about that!

 

[retroparty]

We will finish 12th. We are better than WCE, Freo, Melbourne and Carlton. Richmond will finish 11th. We are having a bad run with injuries ATM and when our side is fit, we can do well. By round 11 we will probably be last but when Lucas comes back we will get some wins over better sides in the 2nd half of 08. It will set up a finals appearance in 09.

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

i love essendon and the future looks bright i would prefer we dont make the top 10 and only win 5 games or less t get priority picks. The 3 drafts after this and we wont get anyone so we must find 3 or 4 very good yougnsters this year. We need some tall defenders as Ryder looks the only type and D.Myers i dont think could take the 2nd best opposition forward.

Slattery - Ryder - N.L.Murray
Dempsey - Mcphee - Myers (Mcphee to take a lead up forward such as a reiwoldt or T.Cloke and Myers to take 2nd tall)
Houli - Watson - Winderlich
Hille - Mcveigh - Stanton

Lovett - Lucas - Welsh
Davey - LLoyd - Jetta

Laycock, Monfries, Rama, highest 08 draft pick

Do we (essendon) want Mundy?? Monfries is he a possible straigt swap
