This was the team that played the last time we beat the Bombers (3,274 days ago).

If you could pick 3 (in their prime) to be starting with us today, who would they be?

Give me prime Tarrant, prime Harvey and prime Swallow.

Defensive gorilla, all around gun half forward/mid and defensive tackling animal
 
You forho
Let me save everyone the time.

We'll come out and huff and puff. A few little pushes and shoves, oh yes we'll mean business.

A few electric clearances. Several exciting chains ending in kicks to a lone Essendon defender. But what plays! 5 inside 50s in the 1st 2 minutes.

Luke McDonald will then infringe, they'll move it end to end without us touching it. Uncontested mark, goal

We'll lose concentration, they'll run it out of the middle without resistance, goal.

Several stoppages, beautiful play as Sheezel does a great Cunnington style handball to a running Daniel. Crowd goes wild.

Daniel gets a free but ploughs it straight to Merrett who dump kicks it, pack forms, ball spills to Caddy all by himself who picks it up and snaps. Goal.

North defenders furiously high 5, give each supportive pats and regroup.

Free to Xerri, long kick forward, stoppage. No system but ball spills and Larkey toe pokes through.

30 seconds from quarter time Zurhaar unfairly pinged HTB. Throws ball back too loopily. 50 metres,goal. * crowd celebrate like its goal of the year.

Quarter Time Score: 1.0.6-4.0.24

You know the rest.
you forgot Lmac looks shocked after free that every else sees is given away , shakes head and trots off grinning stupidly..
then gets to the defenders after that goal - lot of visible pointing. A Few bum pats. Rinse and repeat.
And, … we are controlling play for 5 minutes - then the aggressive inside kick in d50 - pick out of daniel, dawson, lmac, simpkin - straight to essendon - goal. Heads drop.
 
He's untaggable, as are most players of his type. We could either play LDU head to head against him (provided Brad Scott allows it) and hope that Luke can find some form. This approach also allows him to play without worrying about the tag. Or we could run Phillips on him, but I think Merrett will just burn him off
i think we start with wilphil on him

Gee, it's a hard one. I'd go Boomer, Petrie, Tarrant. With Swallow, Waite, Scotty Thompson and Ben Brown being extremely unlucky

Would be the best time to break a losing streak and get this team to finally turn the corner.

Not holding my breath though. More likely it’s a 10 goal loss and play those *uckers into form.
 
Will be death by 1000 cuts tonight unfortunately. 5 day break isn’t exactly ideal for a group who isn’t the fittest bunch.

Under sized backline, make shift forward line and the midfield without George isn’t getting me too excited.

Essendon by about 6 goals I think. Hopefully we can bring the intensity, match the contest and hang around long enough to make things interesting.

Coming off a 5 day break, from interstate without 2 of our best players.

Opposition to start with a 5-1 goal start again, we play catch up/match them for 1.5 quarters, then get blown away and lose by 8-10 goals.

I don't distinguish between big losses or small 'honorable' ones anymore (it's not 2023 or 24, that's not a pass mark) , all are equally shit.

"Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the South call you: 'Hey-suz'. We thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of LDU, Larkey and the always delicious Sheezel. I just want to take time to say thank you for my team: my three beautiful, beautiful, handsome striking assistant coaches, Xavier, Jed and Leigh, or Patch as we call him. And, of course, my red hot smokin' head of development Michael Barlow, who is a stone cold fox, who if you would rate his development skills on 100 scale, it would easily be a 94. I also want to thank you for my best friend and teammate, Todd Viney Jr, who's got my back no matter what...Dear Lord Baby Jesus, we also thank you for giving us the goat Josh GOATER. We hope that you can use your Baby Jesus powers to heal him and his horrible leg. It smells terrible and the dogs are always botherin' with it. Dear Tiny Infant Jesus...'
