The bombers are averaging just over 20K for their last couple of home games so there is ZERO reasons why they should not travel down to Kardinia Park next year! Us on the other hand are premiers and Cats/Dees games are marquee, clearly should be on the big stage

The bombers are throwing the kitchen sink at Clarko at least have the decency to sack Rutten and let him go with some dignity left Clarko will want to come with his team which might include Viney. Also assurances from CEO and president that he can make key decisions. Might take some time

Thanks for this WOR! Good to see some data and evidence on how we are going this season rather than the guess-work around our fitness/loading

Clarko to bombers will be confirmed by end of the week. Just my guess from reading into the happenings at Essendon

360 reporting that bombers are all in on Clarkson and just a matter of time until Rutten sacked.

Feels like there is a divide within the club and they’ve been waiting for a big loss to make a move and aren’t we all just loving it! stability is key in the early years of a rebuild

As the blues have a much chance of beating the Pies. If we both lose we stay above pies. Swans will win for sure. Saints nothing to play for

First final around 18 days away. Should be right for our second final. His touch won’t be there yet so he’ll fit in well up fwd

Hoping Rutter stays. Mainly so they don’t get Clarkson but I also think it is harsh on rutten. They have been savaged with injuries all year. they have 4-5 quality kids that Clarkson could build a good team with

Agree. Petty played a good quality game. He is a favourite on here though. May was better imo 6 milkshake 5 May 4 Brayshaw 3 Gawn 2 Petty 1 Oliver hunt stiff

Good thread. I do feel though with being 10-0 our expectations were heightened. Last ten games we 5-5 which is the same as bombers and the crows. So for me this is where the negativity has come from. We have no consistency. but I completely agree we should enjoying the ride and staying positive

Oh dear. Well played ill edit my post

With sore bodies and carried injuries I don’t reckon we can win from outside the top 4. So Friday, everything is on the line

Man looking at the options, I’m still cut at Max King. Saints would give Sydney a game and lions would be 4 pts behind us even if we lost next week we’d probably be fourth

Now that the Pies losing to the blues seems a real possibility there are new realistic outcome. we lose, pies lose. Finish 5th and play the blues. Not a bad outcome. can’t see us making % up on the Swans so it’s either Away to Swans PL Tigers or Blues at the G EF anything else??

Saints have nothing to play for unfortunately. They will be busy ordering their mad Monday entertainment

Bombers losing by 100pts anyone?

Thanks DL for keeping standards on this site. It’s disgusting and I can’t imagine how hurtful for Kozzi and others. He should be so happy being the match winner but it is tainted with this rubbish

They will usually as they get gifted high draft picks when they finish top 4 due to their academy. Mills, Henney, Blakey etc. completely biased system

As lions and us play each other if Pies win they are too 4 as Freo can’t catch them

In more good news the Bombers are embarrassing themselves. 50 points down in the 2nd Q against the team in 12th 😂😂

Who’s the commentator in the swans game?. He is a cracker. Just calls the action and gets into the excitement

Pies look cooked. Ginnivan done his hammy which is massive. I reckon the blues are a real chance next week

Fair enough. No doubt Weed and Harmes are a cut above VFL level. Doesn’t mean they deserve a game though. Brown continues to bring the ball to ground. We simply cannot drop him. Weed has shown he is not good enough over many years

No change need a settled side
