Round 23

[Roy boys]

Traditional Saturday arvo contest all be it at the slightly earlier time of 1:45 I believe.

 

[eth-dog]

Brilliant, Saturday arvo potentially 3 weeks in a row

 

[Roy boys]

Who ever gets Adelaide first week of finals I dare say will get a Sunday final. Adelaides final game is on Sunday Arvo.

 

[eth-dog]

Well good thing we'll play North at the G week 1, meaning 3 in a row. Then Hawthorn in the semi...

 

[Roy boys]

Haha I reckon you could get some odds there. Only problem being I can't remember the last day time semi final.

 

[eth-dog]

It'll be the Friday Night semi. Whoever vs Adelaide on Sunday can't have a 5 day break.

Brilliant. Hope these cheating ****wits string some wins together so there can be a somewhat big crowd there

 

[vaughany]

We minimum 7 days breaks for all our remaining matches (even got an 8 day break among that)

 

[Roy boys]

Assuming you guys come 6 or 7 and Hawthorn comes 2 or 3 and assuming 2 of Sydney, freo and port have a home final you will play Saturday arvo. If you happen to draw Adelaide you will get a Sunday final and if Hawthorn comes 1 or 4 it could change the date with the side of the draw your on.

North would probably pull a better crowd - they nearly have more members.

 

[rines]

Saturday Arvo is best outcome really... will give us a decent break for week 1 of finals.. plus experience playing on the G during the afternoon.. might come in handy

Players still reckon you pull up worse after an Etihad game.. so North (our likely opponents) will have to face that.. if we play Adelaide in week 1.. then we will have an extra day of rest plus they have to travel over here..

So for a minor thing.. it is a good result.

 

[Doss]

Is that our only Saturday afternoon MCG game of the year?

Against our biggest arch rival?

****ing bring it!

 

[yaco55]

Ah !

Have to take a day off work but that's life.

 

[fishardansin]

Goodness me I hope we smash those blue pricks. They play their grand final and go into quarter time with a 2 goal lead not really showing their statistical dominance around the ground. Bomber gives the boys a rev and we kick 10 goals to 0 in the second quarter. The blues drop their heads and while Mutthouse is talking at half time their players are drifting away thinking of end of season trips.

3 goals in the first 10 mins to the bombers sees the contest completely die. Blues fans stream out of the ground and the remaining 45k Essendon fans watch a training drill where Goddard slaps three Essendon players on the back of the head at different stages as they perfect their ball movement patterns for the final. Daniher leads high to take marks on the wing feeding the handball to mids running past. The long kick to Carlisle see's him pull down 15 marks inside 50 for the second half, kicking 12 goals in the 2nd half.

Watson subbed out to be cherry ripe to tear the heart out of the front running Roos the following week. Fletch to take mark of the year in the defensive goal square.

 

[daffo]

We'll smash the blues.
