Good percentage boost next week

Cats look awesome.

Feeling pretty nervous about playing them last week.

 

[Boohemian]

Cheers to Essendon for providing additional credibility to our win last week.

Feeling pretty nervous about playing them last week.

I hope they boys remember the ****-up against them last year and make amends.

edit: thought you were talking about Essendon

 

[RookiePick]

Damn it. I think the Bullies are shot

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Damn it. I think the Bullies are shot

They have the makings of a great side going forward though. Inconsistency of effort or simply getting tired as the season progresses isn't a surprise.

With Essendon looking rather poor winning tomorrow could be massive.

Really? Don't rate him.

Perhaps their best user coming off the half back but they're weak there.

He gets high possession numbers, best disposal and they don't exactly have a lot back there atm.

I think even the most cautious Eagles supporter has to start getting excited.

We've only lost to Fremantle and WB, the WB being a bit unlucky. We could very well be 9-2 heading into the bye. The Port game is looking better in context, they were in good form when we beat them. We've smashed GWS, smashed Geelong - really, we've smashed everyone we've beaten.

The football has been such a pleasant surprise this year.

They have Bont and Picken out this week as well. No mids, think they will improve again once they get some of their prime movers back in.

4 gimme games coming up for the bulldogs.

And if it isn't already, the Friday night game at the 'G against Richmond will be a veritable blockbuster. In the spotlight, on the hallowed turf => drooling already.

You are not a cautious Eagles supporter.

8-4 I think, If this happens we should still be pleased.

I'd be cautious about his maths.

 

[EagleJack42]

This has always bothered me... surely I'm not the only one.


"You were supposed to destroy Fremantle, not join them!!!"

Just when you thought you couldn't hate the Star Wars prequels any more....

 

[ZergMinion]

We'll be playing Richmond off consecutive six day breaks with them coming off a bye. If we win that game it'll be a mighty effort.

 

[W.C. Fry]

Had a bit of a chuckle seeing Hird go back to the box after half time. He has been "coaching" from the boundary for a while now....
Obviously remembered who they play next week. God I would love him down on the boundary all game against us. Bet he stays up in the box all game.

Apologies, was working off Freo bye in my head :S

10-2 it's not crazy.

I think we'll lose to Richmond away, on our consecutive 6 day break. Essendon game we should win. Tomorrow against North is 50/50 imo. 8-4 or 9-3 is what I suspect will happen.

Wasn't there a so-called "bye curse" last year (or maybe it was 2013) where clubs coming off the bye were coming out cold and getting beaten?

Imo it's a huge letdown if we can't get over North, we're playing consistent enough footy to get the job done (sounds like the squad enjoyed playing in Tassie last time, too). Essendon suffer from extended lapses through games, and we'll punish that. Granted that the Tigers game looks dangerous after their impressive win, but Adelaide almost rolled over against the blues; clearly last week's game rattled Freo and the Crows. How the short breaks effect us will be very important, but 10-2 is more likely than 7-5....

 

[Shupe]

In their last 20 games, Richmond are 15-5.

 

[lmach]

We're 14-6.
