An Essendon draw tonight is as good as a loss.

Sure makes it interesting. Go Blues.

All night, I was yelling, "a draw is good enough!"

Now, I need to stock up on antiemetics to enable me to yell, Go Bloos, next week. 😖

Blumin hell Mick Sinnear is good. Lost by points, season 95% done and dusted and he delivers pretty much the perfect post match speech. Doesn’t sugar coat it, tells truths and says we will go hard against the Pies next week. Love it. 

I reckon this bloke deserves to coach an AFL men's team one day.

He's a wonderful leader, mentor and coach.

We also need the saints to drop one of their 2 games

Richmond really deserved to beat Essendon.

A two goal turn around occurred when a player gave the ball to a teammate instead of the ump, costing a goal. After the ball up,the ball went up Richmond’s end, and a snap landed on the goal line, then  amazingly bounced straight backwards.

Done.   Saints are mathematically out of finals contention, losing by a point to the Doggies in Ballarat today.

2 results go our way by a total of 1 point!!!  Maybe the footy gods are finally on our side. 🙆‍♀️

We know what we have to do. 

Beat the pies on Saturday afternoon and hope that Carlton do us a favour v the bombers. 

Pies may be bottom of the pile, but we don't want to take them lightly. remember 2017!

I will be watching-awesome crew of players, feels a bit 2020 with these abridged seasons, much more of a sprint than a campaign. If we do fall in, no one will be taking them lightly.

There must be some quiet optimism. See how many times 'next week' is mentioned here:
