What

and we are coming up against the toughest teams in the league the next 7 weeks too We needed Jack possibly more than anyone for these games [censored]

You gotta be [censored] kidding me He was playing great too THis is [censored]

Thats what everyone said heading into round 4 last season when we rolled them Well maybe not the 2nd part

no, I just use it to emphasize a point sometimes like most people do Dont take things so literally, La Dee!

Hes a gun and literally any club in the comp would kill for him

Yup. Thats what it all came down to. If that corrupt [censored] didn't tip them off, ASADA would have been able to march down to the club without Essendon having any warning.

I wouldnt say that just yet Everyone is overreacting a lot to the poor 2nd half on the weekend

Has he been confirmed out? Id be surprised if he played after a heavy concussion WIll be a loss for them, hes a very miportant player

To change subject a little but, I was excited when Jesse took that mark on 50 at the end of the 1st quarter and decided to have a shot. Reason being I have never seen him kick a long goal before and I still have no idea if he can even make the distance from 50 metres since he shanked that attempt on the weekend. has anyone seen him roost a goal from 50+ metres at VFL level? Just curious.

Dont think so. I think Stretcher might even still live in Adelaide

dont care about this meaningless award, Jesse Hogan is on another level than anyone else eligible or whoever wins it

enter the mighty Demons to give them a reality check for the 2nd season running

We did it last season, we can do it again Yes Adelaide are in red hot form, but if we can get back to choking teams like we were able to do first half of last year we are going to be in most games now we have a bit more firepower and goal kicking ability.

too bad the Crows didn't play on the MCG in Round 2

Agreed. Dawes isnt in oiur best 22 Hopefully Roos corrects things this week

Well give Roos 2-3 season then, as you just said thats how long it takes

lol @ anyone calling Brayshaw pr Petracca slow They are both quick

laughing at how everyone jumped off Ben Newton and other players cos of 1 game

well damn

Good, he wont play against us

Dont think thats relevant They are also humans and if the ground is rock hard of course it will affect the players in the days following the game Not saying its an excuse for the GWS fadeout but all the MCG teams from round 1 then lost in round 2, so maybe theres something in it

Did they change the way they prepare the ground over the summer? New turf or grass?

finally we nailed a top 10 pick

Imagine if in 5 years time a test for TB4 is developed and its shown every Essendon player was using it How do you then punish the club? What happens if, heaven forbid, they win a flag? The whole thing is a disgrace. Essendon are cheats, the AFL is corrupt, and Gillon McLachlan is a [censored]

well we went to Adelaide in Round 4 last season and we were 0-3 and we were all resigned to the fact we would get flogged like we always do in S.A, and look what happened.... could history repeat?
