Luke Jackson is important for us but i reckon he needs a break

tough game for sparrow tonight. he's making bad decisions

Have to kick it .. and he does. Brilliant Trac. badly needed

How often does Maxy tap it to their forward and concede a goal. Ridiculous

tough quarter. Lions far the better team. We need to bring much more heat otherwise we're going to have our pants pulled down tonight.

The Lions looking very sharp. We need quarter time to re-set.

Maxy showing the way here. He's playing well.

There are beating us all over the field at the minute. Need to re-set here.

Thats more like it from Hipwood. Kick the tough one and miss the easier

Nice be of crumbing there by Maxy

straight away with the behind the ball hit on Maxy. Hipwood you scumbag. hope you get yours

McNamee was dreaming. Browney has just stated on the pre game show that he never had any intention of joining us

Sorry to hear of your loss D Ox Hopefully the Dees can honor her memory this evening

He stayed true to the Lions turning down the big bucks. Respect

I don;t think the Lions will mind the rain They played Essendon in a deluge a few weeks back, played the conditions perfectly, surging the ball forward at every opportunity. Daniel Rich gained over 900 meters which was ridiculous given the circumstances.

This should be a ripper. Lions made of sterner stuff and won’t fold as easily as the puppy dogs did last Friday. Lions on a 7-game win streak but they haven’t been really tested. I have no doubt our boys will turn up to play so the Lions will need to bring their A game tonight. It’ll be tight. I can’t see us winning as comfortably as we did last week. If we can split the clearance and midfield battle, our defensive structures hold and we kick straight then we’ll win. In the context of Top 2 this is an 8 pointer. Beat the Lions tonight puts 3 games between them and us. That would make us odds on to secure home finals. Dees by 10 points

She's had a poor season last year but is a 3 time AA so i wouldn't call her inconsistent. Valid comments regarding disruption and salary but if Daisy is happy to get on board that's good enough for me.

I first took notice of her when she absolutely monstered us when we played Carlton the season before last. A 3 time AA she's exactly what we need, a dominant key forward. Perfect replacement for Tegan Cunningham. It went pear shaped for her at Carlton this year with many questioning her attitude. Hopefully she's focused and has her mind on the job because a fully firing Tayla Harris makes us flag favorites i reckon.

He's an Essendon supporter and typical of Essendon supporters he's getting ahead of himself

This timing couldn’t be worse for us but being top of the ladder and a great chance of a flag will do wonders for our bottom line. Extra memberships and sponsorships will compensate for the loss of gate receipts. The best financial objective for us at the moment is to keep winning games of footy.

Our 2 biggest money-spinning games of the year Hopefully the Alice game can be played later in the season. QB will need to be re-scheduled to later in the year (and hoping Covid is back under control) or else played inter-state. The Big freeze is a big drawcard so if moved inter-state can still attract a large crowd, circa 30,000+ in Adelaide perhaps, so could still generate a reasonable financial outcome or at least cushion the blow.

Our rock solid defence trumps their forward threat Dees by 20 points

Fantastic news. a heart and soul player. Has found a spot up forward which plays to her strenghts and footy smarts. Hoping she can win a flag before she retires

He’s had a few poor games for sure. His dribble non-kick and casual defensive efforts against Adelaide left me fuming. But 25 snags is not to be sniffed at. Not too many other med sized forwards can boast that amount of goals.

Fritsch with 25 goals thus far wouldn't be far off. Definitely make the 40 man squad.
