Game Day Essendon v. Sydney, Friday 7.40pm @ Marvel Stadium

[ShireSwan]

The early 80s man. There was no 10 packs of wild turkey back then.

There were no bacardi breezers either. You might have to go with passion pop.

I can see why you hark back to the last time the Bombers were acually good though.

 

[Shane Heard]

The last few months it looked like they were making finals, now it isn't so all the Essendon players have to play for is contracts.

Yeah.. towards being part of the dominant juggernaut that we will surely become from next season.

Our chopping board is ready to cull the last of the spuds. We are on the edge of greatness and mediocre efforts are no longer tolerated.

 

[Bloods86]

We are on the edge of greatness and mediocre efforts are no longer tolerated.

We're aware of the famous 20 year, Essendon edge.

 

[bedford]

Even that 20 came with only 1 clearance at disposal at 60%.
Man needs a rest. Needs that clearance number to be at 5 minimum. But he is very leggy due to workload.

I think with McInerney and Warner out we'll be needing someone with a bit more run around the fringe of the ruck.
Yes Campbell could get it some more, but he's got potential to use his kick, and currently not run into the ground by Horse either.

I really don't know why its so hard for some (Horse especially) to see the season and finals strategically when it comes to squad management. This means not simply just picking your very best players each week, but utlilizing the squad to get to finals in a good position both table-wise AND player form and fitness wise IMO. Anyways a bit late now I guess. Got to try and win one of these last two...and fankly form says we won't.

I'll back Horse over you

The secret to an optimistic outlook on life is setting yourself very low standards.

I concur. Think of the worst case situation and anything better than that is a delightful bonus

Yes…we are all on the same Bat channel in that category.

Harsh.

 

[Shane Heard]

Tonight we have to be all in green ticks in contested hard ball
Gets ..not red.

We need to pass through the Green Door that’s alluded this squad for the past 6 weeks.

Time will tell..

 

[sataris]

The Warner 1 week calf thing just screams Colombian marching powder to me.

That's something my wife tells her friends.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

That's something my wife tells her friends.

I always say if they set the bar too high, just walk under it.

Nothing wrong with standards, mine arent particularly high, in fact, highly debatable as to whether they should be considered as standards, maybe vague suggestions, but they are standards nonetheless !!

 

[The Gong]

Down in Melbourne for a family thing so going to the game. All I want to see is sad Bombers supporters.

I too have standards, and they are so versatile that you can negotiate a price for them.

Corey sub

 

[Bloods86]

Corey sub

Full game for Cleary, nice. Now give him some decent midfield minutes.

 

[The King!]

Get ready to see him on a flank

 

[Bloods86]

Get ready to see him on a flank

Where he'll get 8 touches and be deemed useless.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Expect us to come out hard. Because a bunch of EFC players tonight are playing for their contract lives with a career at Tullamarine.

It’s desperation time..

I would have thought that having to continue your career at Tullamarine would make you want to do the opposite

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Looking forward to another slow start. Although I’m hoping the momentum we created in the last quarter last week carries over

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least Adams isn’t the sub lol

 

[Shane Heard]

Is that meant to be a motivation?

Ahhh who knows. You know what it’s like with Friday early afternoon blockbuster drinking ..4 hours before the bounce?

Just mindless word drool..dismiss everything I’ve said in the last 90
Mins

Just give the beers to Stringer never know he may kick one.

 

[Orange crush]

Jordan goes to Merrett?

 

[TheGoatBaron]

We still getting foreigners on our board? lol
