who will win anzac day 2007?

[Pratt = Premiers]

Could possibly be a nil all draw with Collingwood and Essendon playing, both teams are heading in the wrong direction on the ladder. When is the AFL going pull their finger out and put two teams worth watching. and before everyone says but carlton are sh1t, i'm not talking about putting carlton in that time slot, i'm talking sydney and west coast. and plus, if carlton played they'd probably beat the other side by 10 or so goals anyway, not really exciting when they do that.

If you honestly believe Essendon will fall further you're dreaming. They'll easily finish above Carlton.

who really cares about Anzac day , we are only in Feb FFS ,

The difference between them maybe finishing above carlton this year is the fact they have recruited a few older blokes who will help them win the odd game. Carlton did this in 2004 when we finished 11th, after that it was all down hill. Essendon are sitting in exactly the same position.
Silvagni - Fletcher
Kernahan - Lloyd
Ratten/Bradley - Johnsons

Once these blokes retired from carlton, sh1t hit the fan. Once those essendon blokes retire, the same will happen.
You can also add mal michael, hird, lucas and camporale to that list of ready to retire. fact is, essendon will win a few games next year and maybe the year after, but it will only be enough to keep them off the bottom. I can tell you i'm glad i'm not an essendon supporter, a few sleepless nights ahead for them.

He's just sh|t stirring

he doesn't have a good record against a bloke by the name of Rocca......so perhaps Sheedy will put him on the really dangerous pies Key Forward L.Davis, whilst K.Bradley or McPhee struggle on Rocca

M.Michael will have walked away due to lack of interest by rnd 2!!

Rocca and Tarrant kicked 1 goal against Fletcher and McPhee last year, with Lloyd and Michael in and Tarrant out i'm salivating, Didak wouldn't want to go in underdone

 

[dave_27]

I cant remember the last time Anthony Rocca fired a shot against Essendon.

 

[Didaics]

I've been to a Grand Final and an Anzac Day- Anzac Day ********s on the Granny in terms of atmosphere and the best thing is there's nearly a full season left after its over!

 

[pazza]

Early days.

Hoping that both teams are at fullstrength - can't have the excuses tread being bandied about again.

 

[dave_27]

Forget about the game.

Its all about Hille v Fraser.

 

[carn_the_cattas]

Essendon, lifted by Hirdy playing for the last time in one of his favourite games.

 

[nick_savo]

It will be a very close one this year, I cant wait for it.

 

[Longy413]

he doesn't have a good record against a bloke by the name of Rocca.....

You must mean Sav because AnthonyRocca kicked one goal in two games against Fletcher in 2006.

Infact, you have to go back to Anzac Day 2002, when Fletcher didn't play and I'm pretty sure Rocca had Henneman to find a game where Rocca had kicked more than 3 goals in a game against Essendon.

Super record that...

 

[ClintonGrybus]

My thoughts:

If Lloyd plays: Essendon

If Lloyd doesnt play: Collingwood

 

[Crow-mo]

GO PIES!!!!!!!!

who gives a fat rats clacker at this stage?

some people do.... what else can we talk about at this stage?.... The fact you replied shows you have some feeling towards it.

 

[NYE TTTT]

Essendon, who else???

Why - because you've seen Collingwood actually win on that day?

 

[Smokin_Joe]

Why - because you've seen Collingwood actually win on that day?

No because theres actually 80-90 thousand actual supporters of essendon or collingwood..at a grand final half the tickets are bought by supporters of the other 14 teams.

Hard evidence to suggest Essendon will romp it in....Cant wait

hahahaha so true!!!

Hey where were they each taken in the draft? I tend to forget....

Anzac Day 2006, Rocca = 1 goal
Round 19 2006, Rocca = 0 goals
