Game Day Bombres v Crows, it will be a Marvel!

[cleanhands]

Nah family before a week at falls creek.

Sorry I meant your boys

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Is this the order of our losing streaks?

Thins we have lost the last 7 to Essendon, including when we have been playing better than them... so would be a huge upset to beat them when they are travelling far better than us, but need the win to be top 4,

Not quite, we did beat the Hawks in Tassie in our last outing there.

13 losses in a row at KP dating back to 2003 and nine in a row vs Collingwood.

Will the roof be closed?
It’s still open

You would have thought the roof would have closed all day with the rain about

Hasn’t been much if any rain for awhile here but it’s windy and cold.

Tough one. I don't rate them that highly, although I did think I'd misjudged them, but then I don't think I have. I reckon they'll be too quick across the deck, but I reckon TT and Fog will kick 3 or so each and apart from Smith, we should be able to compete pretty well. I think they'll have a plan to go fast and low into their forward line, which might put us under a bit of ground ball pressure. But reckon we can prevail, I'd tip them, but at the odds, my money would be going on us.

2 girls!

I assume he'll start on Langford or the resting ruck (either Draper or Goldy).

I'm not too concerned about being too tall TBH. I actually think the balance is pretty good. And could potentially end up a tough task for their defence

Butts is too slow for Langford or Draper

I think that should have been 'Nicks is on something'

I thought I was wrong once, but then I was wrong

I do hope the slopes are copping a beating though.

Will the roof be closed?
It’s still open

I thought the policy was they always play with the roof closed there.

Guess we'll both find out tonight

Despite the Bombres dropping Heppell and Wright, they are still considerably older and more experienced than our 23.

They have 4 players with less than 50 games compared to 9 for us. They have 11 players with 100+ games compared to 6 for us.

We need our handful of experienced players to perform and our many Kids to not get overawed. I suspect that they will have a comfortable win but all results are possible.

Essendon have always been flakey, I reckon they will fall in a hole in the next few weeks too.
I like our team again this week. Bringing in talented youngsters and things can turn around quickly.
I wouldn't be surprised if we win tonight. Paying $2.80, pretty tempting.
We are great at winning these matches at the end of the season to hurt our draft position.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Win

Not fussed about draft position. We'll only botch it anyway

 

[FR0GGY]

Roof is shut!

 

[TRP1996]

Playing Essendon away is one of my top 5 least exciting matchups to watch

Not a fan of this classic?

Our sanfl side could use some Top talent though.

 

[El Doederino]

Essendon are shit.

But so are we.

This one’s a head scratcher.
