Get to the Richmond game people!

[essendon2008]

Any need to book tickets? Should get good seats if i turn up early. We turned up about an hour early for the Dreamtime match and got great seats

Unfortunately have a B'Ball game at 3, so can't make it . 75k-80k

 

[toddy104]

This game is actually not selling as well as i would have thought. Heaps of seats available on ground level. and they havent released ponsford stand seats on ground level or any top deck seating in any stand. Unless there is a huge number of GA's. This game will struggle to get 65,000.

And the weather looks shite

Well I dont know why your expecting much more than 60k. Its 11th v 12th with both sides 2 wins out of the 8.

I'll be there with a friend who is a Richmond supporter. I'll have my earphones on so I won't hear him.

Have you been under a rock for the last couple of weeks. This game has been talked up by both clubs supporters as there last dip at the finals. Put the rivalry aside, this is a game between two up and coming clubs that have alot to prove.

Ladder position has little do with it.

 

[peejay]

It'll be won in the centre (no surprises there).

The forward set up is interesting. Lucas & Lloyd 499 games 1312 goals. Riewoldt, Hughews & Morton 44 games 63 goals.

Makes the Richo selection critical.

i hope the tigers think it will be a walkover like last time but with our superstars in form and 4 on the trot it will be anything but a walkover watch out cocky richmond supporters

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Saturday afternoon at the G - love it. Shocking news re McVeigh makes it harder for us . Hope the weather forecast is wrong as I think in dry conditions our forward setup will really test them. Even without McVeigh I'd be really disappointed if our mids don't do a whole lot better than last game against the Tiges - certainly they'll take a whole lot more confidence in with them this week.

 

[bomba4eva]

Will be there with a couple of Richmond mates. Not as confident now that McVeigh is out. Always look forward to games at the MCG. We are much better then our last game where I witnessed one of the most pitiful half of football you will ever see from an Essendon team. Atrocious. Thankfully they showed some heart in the second half. Hope it is a ripper of a game.

I think respective ladder positions will keep the attendance below 70,000 but only just. If we were both 5 places higher it would be pushing 80,000 but we are not and late season games between non top 8 sides rarely ever draw 70,000. You can count the exceptions on the fingers of one hand.

The weather will stop the crowd, not our ladder positions.

Looks like it's going to be almost snowing but I'm still going with a heap of Bomber mates. should be a cracker!

 

[Rack Watts]

Uh-huh! I'll be there!

The prediction is partly cloudy with a shower or two so its not really too bad, it was colder last weekend.

Similar weather was predicted for the v Carlton game though and it probably turned away atleast 10k.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I'll be there.

News is of a change in the forecast - 15, no rain, but cloudy and blustery.

Hopefully my source on this is correct.

Go Dons.

We'll be waiting Davey boy. We're asking the Army to be a bit quieter than usual so as not to frighten the kids..LOL.
