You know what I'm afraid of?

[Jono B]

4-4 is great,
I'm happy with that...
thought the Lions was going to be a hard one,
but I did start having confidence in the Dons mid-week and wooo I tipped them!

At first,
I didn't think 4-4 was on the cards,
in fact I thought we could of been a lot worse..
but good on em for pulling their fingers out..WELL DONE BOYS.

Richmond got a few injuries,
and Richo out..
I think if the Dons play hard,kick long,apply pressure then it can be a win..

Some Brisbane fans were saying they lost because they did alot of 'chipping'..
hmm

Sydney and West Coast will be good games..will test them,
just hope they are wins..

COME ON DONS..
KEEP FIGHTING.

Actually I think the Port game will be the hardest. We useualy do well against both Sydney and West Coast and Sydney is playing poorly, while West Coast is at the dome.

True and True..
I don't want to get to excited though
They will be good games if they play the way they did against the Lions..

 

[DonMania#5]

Richmond forward line will no threat with the best forward being Schulz so i think we will easily beat them if we play how we did against Brisbane.

I will be happy when we get over the tigers then we have an opportunity to have a crack at 3 good teams to see where we are at.

The Sydney game will be interesting. Lloyd has a good record against them and Fletcher could cause some problems for them on the tiny SCG ground.

That said, we've still got to get over Richmond this week and it's a tough prospect mainly because we're just so up and down.

If we dont beat Richmond we will be the absolute laughing stock of the AFL, if not the world! No Richo, No Simmonds. We should eat them alive.

 

[DapperDon]

why is it I have such a bad feeling about this game

 

[Darealrath]

Freakin' Kingsley will come in I bet.

 

[GoDons]

Freakin' Kingsley will come in I bet.

And for some reason he will kick straight. Why can he only slot them against us? Very frustrating.

 

[Jaymin]

Do they have any other ruckmen to work in with Pattinson?

 

[BomberAce7]

Yes im a little worried about the Dreamtime game this Saturday Night. We havent beaten Richmond since 2004! I know we have been near the bottom of the ladder since 2005 but so have Richmond and they have still beaten us! Richo Killed us last time we played them and he wont be playing this week. I hope we play like we did against Brisbane, if we do look out Tigers!!!

 

[TELLIMAN1]

dont we have a record at the MCG of around, 1 win from our last 12 games there? If so, there are nervous times ahead for sat night!!!!

 

[Boris_Bewick]

If we dont beat Richmond we will be the absolute laughing stock of the AFL, if not the world! No Richo, No Simmonds. We should eat them alive.

We shouldn't have won against Adelaide, Freo and Saints. Were under pressure to win against the Lions.

We should have eaten Carlton and Collingwood alive, and beaten Hawthorn and probably the Roos.

It is a worrying game.

 

[warney7]

As said above, if we win, it will go against the trend of losing games we should win.

Worse still I've been convinced to tip Essendon this week.

Richo out will make a huge difference and hopefully our plan of going straight up the guts continues!

 

[monty1104]

A mate of mine has tipped every Essendon game wrong this year. He is tipping Essendon this week. Not a good omen

All things have to end sooner or later.

Same can be said about Richmonds losing streak

I was in a similar position. I had gotten every Essendon match wrong this season. When we should win we lose and when it looks a loss we win. That ended on the weekend when I tipped us to beat the Lions.

 

[AJ_2000]

How funny, so many people have been getting the same vibe over the last few weeks. When I first started to think about the game I also had that dreaded feeling.

Also you often go close in a game before you win one (when you are on the losing streak). Last season we lost to STK by 3, drew with Carlton and then beat Brisbane.

We just need to win this week to stop losing to the rubbish sides of the comp.

I've tipped every game but the Adelaide one right this year and I'm tipping Richmond also not a good omen.

I just simply think they will win and it will be embarrassing.

Essendon at the G
2007-0-3
2006-1-6 1 draw
2005-4-5
2004-7-2

So it's been going stedily downhill at the G

why dont you just tip essendon?

 

[jnash196]

why dont you just tip essendon?

Because I have a sickening feeling that Richmond will win

 

[Dr Moose]

Because I have a sickening feeling that Richmond will win

Am I the only one who tips his team no matter what? If it's just the office tipping comp and you go down a couple of points over the season, so what? Club pride is more important than that. Still, putting $50 on us winning at the SCG next week is a different story.

 

[Tony Delaney]

Usual positive supporters.

Bombers will win and win well. The only difference last year when Richmond were better than they now are and Essendon worse than they now are was Richardson. He is not there Essendon are playing well and Richmond are crap. I think this will be a building game to getting a bit of confidance on the MCG.

 

[djharps]

we will lose, thats how we roll

think about it.. we have lost all games to BIG rivals for victoria.. its bound to happen.. i can see sheeds getting misty eyed about the game and leaving on a abo who is playing shit just for the occasion whilst having a better player on the bench
