With Essendon's massive supporter base perhaps they will stream the game. Fingers crossed.

I think they're in the same boat as us in terms of listed players being available for this game.

Yep, just slipped over to Bomber Blitz (it's ok, I've showered since) and they sound very much like us and will be relying on a few members that are attending to give updates. I wonder if the Demon twitter feed might get a workout?

As a side note; I don't make a habit of visiting other fan sites but my clear impression is; none of them come close to the functionality and visual excellence of DL. Kudos to you Andy.

I'd be disappointed if it didn't. Hopefully a few of the Demonland faithful will be there to fill in any gaps.

I presume the squad for this game will be released tonight?

[Whispering_Jack 29,753]

I spoke today to an Essendon insider who feels that the Bombers will field a reasonable squad. Given that this will be their best team because they don’t have a Marsh Cup game over the weekend, they should be too strong for our second string team missing a large number of players through injury.

That smells like you are preparing us for a big loss WJ.

Yes difficult to see us putting up a competitive game.

I will still go but would like to have an idea of what Melbourne players will be playing. 

[HBDee 360]

Given they're not in the team or 8 man bench for the Crows game tomorrow or they're injured.

Any of the following could play

Bedford

Jordon

Rivers

Hunt

Hore

Chandler

C Wagner

Bradtke

How’s the weather down there dl? 

[AshleyH30 566]

Tell me, what would be a bigger worry (Not for us)? Basically a seconds Melbourne getting flogged? Or a decent Essendon side fighting a hard fought win and only winning by a couple of goals?

Cue the usual suspects still slashing their wrists over losing the game by 8 goals when we're only fielding a small handful of AFL listed players.

Bit annoyed the club hasn’t put up a squad for this game...

Bomber fan sites would melt down if we knocked them off.

Going along with our pre season theme, have we started an hour early, before oppo arrives, and built up a big lead yet?

We have, but so far we've kicked 10 points and 4 out on the full.

Players are in full panic mode.

[sisso 2,577]

Apart from Jayden Hunt I don’t know who any of our player are
