I don't think I've ever seen 2 meter Peter have a good game but he looks on today. 

Dogs looking ragged this quarter (other than the Bont)

C'mon the Bombers

🤮

Essendon doing well. Breaking even in clearances and putting the Dog’s poor defense under pressure. Shutting down Daniels. It’s the way to go.
Umps will make sure Dogs won’t lose tho. 

Although it may helps us sneak in a higher ladder position, I just can't cheer on the bombers over the dogs. Along with the cats they remain my most hated team.

I'll stick to hoping the Cats keep losing and play the dogs in the first final and we get a gig vs the Power.

 

Doggies have more than double the frees of their opponents again, colour me shocked

What's better, playing Port in qualifying final or in Prelim? We may better off playing Cats first week then hoping we get Port in the Prelims. Wouldn't want to see the Swans though.

The Sydney win is enormous for us.

We only need to win one more game for the season to ensure we finish top 4.

I'd dearly love for it to be tomorrow, so that we don't have to take that pressure into next week vs Adelaide, a game with "danger" written all over it (albeit I reckon Adelaide spent their last emotional tickets on the Showdown last night).

Not sure I can barrack for Essendon today. For one, a loss pretty much rules them out of finals, but a win puts them in pole position. For another, a loss to the Dogs opens the door to Port finishing top 2, which could mean our first final is on the road.

Bombers are playing for their season. I’m not a big fan of theirs but will be interested to see how they deal with the situation compared to how we did in recent seasons when we had our chances.

Come finals time when umpires somehow all of a sudden get better, the Dogs will be whinging about why the rub of the green isn’t so one-sided.

Hope so

I didnt factor that permutation in. Doh.

Go dogs I guess. But I do recall we whipped em over there not too long ago.

My preference would be Essendon be kept alive to the very last minute, then get snuffed out in round 23 and finish 9th, with a West Coast side who clearly don’t give a s*** whether they make it or not pinching 8th.

Bummers can start by winning today.

i like your thinking

but i'd reserve 9th for richmond

i'd like to see richmond and the bummers and someone else,  tie for 8th spot but both miss out by %,  preferably by less than a kick's worth

Yeah, but it would be against Port Adelaide, who we beat comfortably on the road less than a month ago.

I know, right? You know what’s worse than barracking for Essendon? Barracking for them, and they lose. 😑

They're just [censored] whichever way you look at it

Just saw a Bulldog player simply drop the ball. Play on. They really do get a great run at it.

Honestly, Bontenpelli kicked a ball across ground and Brian Taylor carried on like he had just painted the Sistine Chapel.

If Bontempelli got injured, I reckon the Dogs would win half the games they do.

Nah, just means the umpires have to work a little harder. 😁

Come on bummer s. 
god I feel sick.....

Dogs look quite lazy today. Pressure on the ball carrier goes along way to quell their midfield dominance. 

Excuse my ignorance but there is some crowd at the Dockers match. What’s happening at our game? I just assumed no crowd

What a goal by Parish. Looked like a shank off the boot.

Handy goal

I thought so too. Although I don’t see why they’d have no crowds when they have no cases and no restrictions. 

I don’t often weigh in on the umps but seriously, how did Hunter not get pinged for ball just then? This is what drives fans mad.
