We will beat Essendon

[Bombers36]

You have got to be a chance.

Our injury list at the moment is Pears, NLM, H.Slat, Reimers, Hooker, Dyson (and Laycock though he doesnt really count)
Welsh also out suspended & Hille a big chance to get suspended also.
Still think we will win but you guys defeinately a chance... Is Cousins back this week? Hope not!!!
Good luck

Match-ups anyone?

I'm thinking Jackson to Watson, good match-up in every facet. Will never stop him fully, but could hurt him offensively too (as long as he handballs )

They will hit Deledio with a defensive forward I'm guessing, probably Slattery if he is playing? Don't think it will matter to be honest, not sure they have anyone able to match Lids.

Cotchin to go with Stanton, to continue the trend of him playing one on one type roles.

Hocking may go to Foley, hopefully Foley too quick.

We should get smashed in the ruck, although Hille may be missing through suspension, third time unlucky for him this year hopefully

Not sure if Hurley will play back or forward. Gumbleton played the lead up forward role yesterday, so maybe Mcguane to Gumby, Thursfield to Hurley if he is forward. Although, with their backline injuries, I expect Hurley may go back.

I hope we don't play Morton this week, as he is the perfect opponent for Fletcher ro take advantage of, and that would hurt us. Prefer to try and force them to match Fletcher up on Riewoldt or Polak.

Farmer may go to Monfries.

Hooker did his hamstring, expected to miss 3-4.

 

[Walesy]

I story throughout all of last week on the Essendon board was: Watch us beat the Saints then lose to the Tigers the week after.

I wish we were over our inconsistency issues, but I can definitely see you guys getting it over on us.

Don't you mean Hooker?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

should be a good game, hopefully we don't become complacent.

I tell you what, I didn't rate J Riewoldt for quite some time after he was drafted - I was wrong! Your boy has a heart the size of Pharlap! Those marks he took were insane

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Hille free to play

 

[MARC_]

Looks like Hills out, that helps

Hille gets 0.

 

[smasha]

Hille gets 0.

I expected that anyway by the Essendon loving tribunal.

Nothing to see.


I just want a 4 quarter effort and I will be happy like yesterday.

 

[deledio7]

Shocked Hille got off. Not too disappointed, I want our young guys to play against the best, and Hille is in awesome form.

Can't see us getting close, Knighta will ensure they are up for this one.

You didn't become complacent.

We beat you fair and square champ.

Essendon should be favs as we are starting from the bottom this year and your list has evolved a few years more.

No "complacent" excuses this time Verucas.

 

[1980GFVideo]

Who the hell is going to take Hille on.

Simmonds is disinterested. No point persuading a bloke to have another year when he decides to retire.

Vickery not yet up to it.

Graham may have impressed some yesterday but some of us are concerned still about him having a future.

Yeah great call.


Better for our young cubs to learn things from these players.

Fair and square?? you dont remember Joel Bowden? Haven't they brought a rule in now cause of him. You guys winning that game had more to do with us being poor than you being any good so deal with it. It was proved in in round 9 when we smashed you by 40 points, we were on our game that night.

More to do with Deledio and Cotchin smashing you in the middle, and Jack Riewoldt giving Tayte Pears a good old bath.

Post of the week

 

[happydude]

I hate essendon and know a few cocky supporters that think now they are ready to shake the finals....
Put em in their place!



(coz everyone knows we cant do it)

We were complacent that night.

You don't sound smart when you say that, you know that, right?
You wish you could be greedy. And complacent? when aren't you guys complacent?

Just adding some banter. I hope that's alright

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Don't you mean Hooker?

Whoops...

 

[Jobe 1 Kinobe]

Knights said today that Pears is a big chance of coming back into the side. Reimers and NLM also a chance to return.

crap. thatll learn me to pop into the TAB early
not that I think we are no chance, just that Im on $5.10 and it'll likely blow out to ~ 6 or $7 by friday

Cuz in for Jacko?
will need another big body I reckon - Cuz a pretty good footy user still, but I doubt he can run like Jacko does all day - bring in Polo for either Farmer or ....Nahas, unless Relton is somewhat ready - I know he was home and injured, but rested and? recovered? would love to play him off the bench and give him a few stints on ball, he has the size and explosive pace, with a fair bit of bench could really be a good stage to show something...

 

[theboxmike]

I sadly agree with this thread, after watching your boys last week i can definitely see us losing to you guys.

 

[_Wang_]

I cant see it.. I hope we are competetive

 

[Jesse Custer]

Wouldn't be surprised if Richmond got up, wouldn't be surprised at all.
