I don’t reckon we care much about stoppage and clearance we setup to win the game through turnover and are usually happy to let the oppo have an extra in the midfield while we put ours behind the ball.

GWS are a dangerous side but they generally have a bad quarter (see vs Tigers and Dockers), so we need to capitalise on that then our defence will do the rest

I rate Tomo but Petty is a star, had to fit him in now he’s fit

Rest trac in the forward pocket against GWS and he’ll kick 5!

Nearly had (another) heart attack when I saw it but it seems he’s good to go

Petty plays if he's ready for mine - too good a player to be kicking around in the VFL

We'll win unless Hoges goes nuts against us and kicks 8

It’s worth a week, can’t do much except cop it and move on

As others have said a very frustrating game we had plenty of chances to win but did look tired…should get them this time

Time to be the first team ever in the AFL era to win the flag undefeated I reckon

Even in an average game BBrown will kick a couple of goals and get involved…Weid sadly pretty much does nothing when he has an ordinary one

We all love Gus and he'll always be a Demons legend....but if he helps us to back to back flags this season then really wants to move on its something we will just have to accept as the realities of modern footy

Exactly. The oppos don’t want to go head to head with us the ugly football is more on them

I swear we have supporters who’d be furious if we had an ugly 4 goal win in a Grand Final! Last years finals series spoiled everyone

Port flooded hardcore they were trying to minimise the damage all match…off 2 short breaks and 2 interstate trips not sure why any of our supporters could be upset by that…

Hope we can take advantage of Ports very short backline

The club has sent out an email with the barcode now - will give it a go...

Exactly the same issue and I tried both a barcode from last weeks ticket and my membership number and it didnt work

We don’t often make changes to a winning side but coming off a sauna in QLD and 2 short breaks might be worth bringing in some fresh legs for this one

Messing around with the ball kicking sideways it’s like Ross Lyon is coaching us tonight

Need the Weid to run it back to 2018 elimination final form

Is it just me or is Essendon playing a team of midgets tonight?

When we were rubbish we got smashed by the media weekly but didn't help us win....totally overrated as a motivator and a factor in who wins or loses!

He was worth it and I’ll think he’d be very satisfied as a 4 time premiership player who came to a struggling club and helped set a culture that resulted in breaking a 57 year flag drought

Early wins are like gold to ensure that vital top 2 finish so I doubt the boys will take this game lightly...our best will be enough to account for Essendon even if they do come out "breathing fire" from the heat they've rightly copped in the media for the last two weeks
