Vindication for Steven May!

The pick of the Bomberblitz review page of the Crows game 🤣

Fullarton gets a free ticket to Perth to watch the game. I suspect he’s there keep the Dockers guessing. I’d prefer to go in unchanged but I trust Goody after his selection master class against the Bombers.

In 2022, I was at a wet Optus Oval watching us dismantle the Dockers. We did this by keeping a strong zoned defence, and forcing them to the wing instead of the corridor. They just couldn’t move the ball quickly in the wet, couldn’t switch it and this played into our strengths. Our game plan if executed with vigour should stack up well against Fremantle. The conditions will be wet which again suits us given how well we adapted last week. Dees by 12 points

Who plays on Luke Jackson when he’s forward of centre? How much will Freo’s fortunes rest on his performance? Luke had 20 disposals and a goal against the Hawks in a losing game and I worry he could be very damaging if he gets going on Sunday.

Collection of misery on the Essendon Big Footy Message Boards: ”Too many spuds in the team. Poor team selection for a game in the wet” “Brad can't pick a team to save his life” “Well, that sucked” ”Shut up Ling” ”[censored] poor” ”That wasn’t annoying at all” “Just another pathetic display like the last 10+ years” ”I could have been watching Interstellar!” “McKay and Ridley passes. The rest can get in the bin” ”that was so awful - i’m actually looking forward to a 12 year old kick boxer kicking my [censored] next week” ”Let's face it, this was inevitable as soon as Carlton lost and we could've been second if we won” “What makes this team so ****ing unbearable is the hope they give us” - Could also be a Demon poster here “What an absolutely soulless performance. Everything set up for us perfectly and that's the type of footy we dish up. Nothing has changed.”

Darcy frothing over junk time goals.

Would have won by more if we had Fullarton or Ferrell out there…. Goody won this at the Selection Table.

Ducked his head = Free Kick Essendon.

Melbourne playing good wet weather football. Not on my 2024 Bingo Card lol!

Turner gets pushed into a dangerous contests = no free. Essendon player gets pushed by McVee = Free Kick Essendon!

I hope we get some Geelong level umpiring tonight.

Big Footy Essendon forum: - “I don’t like when Ess go in as favs.”

Turner is taller than JvR - could he get a run as ruck? I don’t think I could watch Mr Glass go in the ruck on Saturday.

I still can’t get over my hatred of Essendon. The thuggery of Wallis, Hardwick and Long on Green and Simmonds in the 2000 Grand Final still really burns. I hope we play like demons on Saturday!

Kozz is our future and at his best is the most damaging small forward in the comp. I love the way he attacks the ball. Here’s to 100 more Kozz ❤️

Petty is made of glass and has had multiple foot issues. No way he comes in as ruck.

If not Fullerton then TMac as Ruck and bring in Tommo? Protect JvR at all cost.

Grundy in

Doomed now
