DubDee

If the weed gets match fit over the next month and then bangs down the door with marking/pressure/goals over 4-5 weeks then I would bring him in for sure. talking about it now is just nuts

Petracca starring as we smash the Pies would get us to 40K

Essendon have more respect as a footy team than we do right now just let that sink in

I'm even more gutted now than after the siren. Fk why can't we even be an OK average decent side for once! Haven't been out of the bottom 6 for 10 god damn years and doesn't look like changing. Mer might have better players now but the mentality is the same. Fark!! im flat as. Can't even be bothered watching the other games as it reminds me how soft we are. Usually us be drunk, maybe that's the problem.

Gutted. there goes all the positivity and momentum we built north must be Sh!tting themselves

Every time the ball hits the deck there are 3 bombers there. Where the fk are we? cant blame the umpires. We are pathetic

We are weakest team mentally in the league. It hurts to admit that. They should be up by 30. One of the worst teams in afl history Zero leadership.

What a poor quality game of footy. Like a game of keepings off where no one is winning. So much for attacking footy being back

less than 4 1/2 thousand to go until the 40K. its looking very possible now!

while the stats on amount of games is not without merit, the amount of trading that goes on each year doesnt mean it will take x amount of years to get there. if we trade in 3 150+ games in 2018 using draft pick they would take the place of first year players and our ave games played sky-rockets Also, I wonder what the average games lpayed for the Dogs young core is? they dont seem to give a rats about that!

sorry couldnt resist being a smartar$e! still dont think Fitz is up to it though. once spence fit and playing casey we should be right for 1st ruck

Bird, Simpkin and mckernan all dropped for kids. Wtf is woosha doing? they have 5-6 good players and the rest is rubbish. Their entire defence looks poor on paper. Thats worse than our worst team in 2013 If we play okay we should win by 70 pts+ but surely this should be triple figures.

yeah i really miss him on our injury list not a first ruck either in my opinion

we havent won 2 in a row for 5 years (in two consecutive calendar weeks in the AFL) what a disgusting record. we need to win this and I hope its by over 100 pts. i would love to wipe the smile of Sheedys face and see the biggish crowd of bombers fans after that 'stand up the dons' walk, crying into their lattes

the fwd line clicking in the last Q was due to many factors. winnning clearances, lowering our eyes and actually hitting targets on the lead rather than bombing it long and changing the personnel to throw them off.

those picking Frost over Pedo because of Frost's pressure, im not sure. Pedo had 4 tackles to Frost's 0 on saturday. Pedo also had more posessions, score involvements I also liked Pedos toughness around the ball, that bump was a beauty and he knows how to use his bulk. I know Frost is quicker but I'd take the footballer over the athlete in the fwd line any day of the week. Im backing Pedo in to kick a couple this week. and if we are keen to drop a KP player I would drop Frosty

Well I've gone through everyone predictions and the prize for closest prediction goes to... Dubdee....oh .. this is awkward. my prediction for this week. Dees by 112 points. Hogan to kick 8.4. dubdee to get drunk post match

First game of year. Surely a lot more than 20k will turn up! should certainly reach 30

Their defence looks average. Davis on hogan. Then not much else. So pedo and watts need to hit the scoreboard. Less than 14 hours to go. Probably should go to bed

If Vandeberg is late withdrawal for Dunn we will struggle to win. Way too tall. Let hope it doesn't happen. Bizarre that Dunn is not plat Ng due to lack of match fitness but is named as emergency so cannot play match sim today

Is it a full moon? People forget to take their meds? Far out, settle down some of you. Couple of players left out due to match fitness. Footy these days you need 100% fit players

The majority of young talented kids turned them down. Im not bothered by him anymore but he is still a [censored]

So only Dawes, Newton and Speno out for a month. Looking good. Spencer the only concern as we need his cover lets hope we have an equally good injury list at round 8

He started footy late so I reckon he still has some great footy left. Love the bloke. No fuss. All class. Tough as. Might be able to play more outside with the young lads we have coming through.

Make sure you head to the royal on punt road for a pre game beer good ummm, atmosphere
