What a classic "double standard sentence!!! Haha each of 2

Ash30 doesn't think Reimers will become a gun.

However, Ash30 obviously hopes that that Reimers proves Ash30 wrong.

I don't see the double standard. I'm not sure if you meant something else.

I can see why Ash doesn't think Reimers will become a gun. He's got a bit of class and is a very good kick, but he hasn't shown that he can be anything but a 2 goal a game outsise opportunist finisher. To be a gun he needs to do something in the midfield.

He's got a bit of talent, but I haven't yet seen anything that will make him a gun.

Essendon's main problem (other than a bookend defender) is that their youngsters are all good honest players with none looking like they are likely to take the step to being a genuine top liner, although Ryder has potential. They've got bulk youth, but the top end is not breathtaking.

I still beleive my original thread. I have heard plenty in the media about this young Essendon side, but the Bombers get over the line today on the back of an 8 goal haul from Lloyd and some pathetic umpiring decisions.

The Dees to add the likes of Brock, Beamer, Jones, Petterd, Grimes and Rivers to their young nucleus plus some potential great draft picks next year has us ahead in the race in my eyes.

Too balance your argument, Essendon were missing Davey, Houli, Lucas, McVeigh to name a few.

I actually take my hat off to Essendon for winning games with the largest injury list in the AFL - unlike Carlton and Richmond.

Lucas doesn't count, or i would have included Robbo. My argument is that we are already playing our young guys in key positions, whilst the Bombers have experienced All-Australians in theirs.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
