General Bombers Talk Questions and discussions that don't warrant a thread

[Whispering_Jack]

It's pretty much perfect. Can see the whole ground whilst under cover

Might be a tad 'too' under cover but the atmosphere on level 1 is the best.

CC is literally the third undercover row. It'd be my ideal spot on a rainy day, almost guaranteed no water

Hmm. Just had a look at row Y is the drip line so it turns out CC isn't as far back as I thought. NN is the last row so CC is pretty much ideal if you want to be under cover.

Was trying to figure out whether BJ would get to a hundred games with Essendon next season (he would, assuming no major injuries/omittances) and ended up plotting potential milestone games into my spreadsheet.

All going well, we could have a 50 games (McKernan) and two 200 games (Crowley and Stokes) milestones all in the same round XD Also, Zach has officially overtaken Jackson in the race to 50 games as of Round 10... and Grima could get to 100 career games in round 23 if he plays every single game for the rest of the season (unlikely, but interesting).

of course he does!

Just in case anyone is wondering, the VFL team has a bye this week. Hence no VFL thread.

I mean we could create a vs. BYE thread and then post pictures of periwinkles or something in there, but it'd probably be a bit pointless.

We demand windy hill grass closeup photos!!!

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Anyone know what the non-Premiership cups on display at Windy Hill are? Down the bottom.

 

[boncer34]

Night premierships?

 

[Doss]

Is that Sam Lonergan in that picture?

 

[Resistor]

2017, 2018 and 2019 amirite?

 

[Donakebab]

Is there a clash for cancer game this year, and if there isn't why not?

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Is that Sam Lonergan in that picture?

Looks like him but I don't think he has/had curly blonde hair?

I'm thinking maybe Shaun Edwards because of the curly blonde hair.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Is that Sam Lonergan in that picture?

Yeah, it's from an article in his early years.

Night premierships?

The front one in the second photo definitely seems to have a Fosters logo on.

Here's a question that may not warrant its own thread:

Which team would win in a game of footy; a cloned army of tipungwuti's? Or a cloned army of Zerretts?

Zachary. They're stronger at the contest

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

Zachary. They're stronger at the contest

Haha i tend to agree, however the latest gifs in the gif thread of tipungwuti monstering his opponent makes me wonder

 

[Mootsy]

Ok, I was just watching the game Essendon Vs Gold Coast from 2011...

The team kicked 93 points in the first quarter...

Reimers, Jetta, Howlett, Zaharakis, Lonergan, Watson, Crameri, everyone playing amazing well...

Is the problem with Essendon not the players but the coaching and structures are bad????

How can a team play that cohesively well and look so confident and then be deplorably bad the next week??

They kicked 200 points...

I don't understand Essendon's mediocre output for so long..so very bipolar..

They clearly had the players...

Ugh, annoys me...

Who was the forward coach in 2011??

 

[Doss]

It was also Gold Coast ft. 2011. Shooting fish in a barrel...

Well maybe not quite, but I don't think it's a game that can be read into much.

 

[Mootsy]

yes, but you aren't playing against witches hats either..

if you watch the game, the essendon players are handballing confidently, moving the ball around super fast, spotting players and positioning fast, kicking efficiency was superb...

anyway..

they could never find consistency, that team...

Really - How many times have VFL/AFL teams kicked 93 points in a quarter of footy - Nothing to do with consistency.

 

[Lore]

Grimley available for VFL this week.
Grima running.. no time frame given.
Baguley's time frame is the same as before, might make it back for the end of the season, might not.
Crowley and Simpkin are training, should be back around the same time, in 2-3 weeks. (That means Hams gets demoted again when Simpkin comes back.)
Also says that Hartley is off the injury list, but we knew that already.

For those wanting some cheap(er) club apparel...

Hello, I have a question, which is probably a silly question. I got an Adult Flexi 3 game member ship at the start of the year and haven't been able to make a game so far. I'm looking at going to the game this week but was wondering how the seating works, (where would my seating be for a flexi member?), looking at the Etihad seating map and not sure where I fit on the seating categories, And also, if I am to bring a couple of people with me, do i have to get ticket on the Essendon site so we can sit together?

You can just swipe in and sit anywhere on level 3 and the other guys buy General Admin.

Or on the ticketmaster website click on the "Essendon members" tickets part, put your barcode in and you'll get a reduced priced reserved seat and you'll be able to buy full price seats for your mates next to you.
