I don't know that we'll match it with Collingwood... are they carrying any injuries?

On the other hand, they'll be very annoyed with themselves over a draw today. Perhaps the tea leaves will fall in the right place.

Are you for real? Monday, 25 April 2011.

We have a 9 day break....Piss take some of you lots. Stop saying we will get beaten, stop saying we need light training.

We can win, nothing is imposiible.
 
No stupid, pathetic, dumb, exaggerated posts/threads about Anzac Day this week, thanks.

Collingwood are the best side in the competition at the moment by so far, it isn't funny.

So many things would have to go right for us to win. So many. So please at least try and be realistic with your optimism before the game and no "OMGZ WE ARE SO GOING TO WIN" type posts.

It doesn't just embarrass yourselves (as much as you may not even realise) but makes all the realistic ones look bad as well.
 
Whats with the attitude of some of you guys..far out!

Collingwood are definately not unbeatable. They have not played any half decent teams this year, besides the scum last week..yet everyone is carrying on like they are invincible. As Matthews said about us in 2000 - "If they bleed, we can kill them"

We beat them in 2009 on Anzac Day and our team back then was in a far worse position! We were down Hille for the majority of the game and fought on and won..

Have some ****ing faith people!!
 
OMGZ WE ARE SO GOING TO WIN :p

But seriously I think Collingwood will win. They are just that good. But you never know, they could get injuries like we did today.
 
Today showed we have a huge heart so hopefully we will take it right up to the Pies.

I honestly can;t see Collingwood loosing a game this year, their only weakness seems to be that they take the foot off the pedal when they are winning easily and allow teams back in.

The 9 day break comes in handy after today. Hopefully reports of Hardingham doing a hamstring are incorrect as we are running short of backman.

Hille should come in as should Reimars to take Dempsey's spot and Davey for Winderlich.
 
I would personally have Reimers take Licha's spot and Hibberd take Dempsey's spot. Davey back in for Prismall, he shouldn't get another run in the seniors until he does something special in the magoos.
Hille, Welsh, Slattery all should be available next week if they get through tomorrow unscathed.
 
Whilst I would not put my house on it.. I am hoping we can be competitive next week.

At least we aren't going up against a team with 2.5 days more break than us just 1 day!!

i thought today was a stunning example of the new essendon, down 2 men in just 15 mins and on a much much shorter break and we slogged away. Absolutely terrific spirit and pride in their performance.

If they bring that attitude and some fresh legs I truly hope we take it up to collingwood. I would be happy with anything under 25pts..
 
Oh form we can definately win.

Collingwood have played 3 average sides and beaten them all. And they have played one reasonable side (Carlton) and beat them by 28 points.

We have beaten two of last years top 4 by 10 goals, and probably would have beaten Carlton by "about 28 points" too if we weren't playing 22 on 20 for 80% of the match.

During the Pre-season Grand Final both teams were going hell for leather. Don't let any ignorant people tell you Collingwood was going half-assed that night. They weren't going half assed at all. They might not have set out to win the pre-season but once they found themselves in the Grand Final, they admitted they went flat out to win. And there wasn't much in that game. We were a big chance to win that night.

If you had no idea what happened last year and you started watching the AFL this pre-season and had seen every game of the pre-season plus the first 4 rounds, then you would barely be able to split the two teams. But because Collingwood won the flag last year and Essendon finished 14th, people's perceptions are based on last year.

I say stuff last year. it means nothing. From what I've seen THIS year, Essendon are more than capable of winning the game on form. I'd say Collingwood are 60-40.

I know Collingwood are good, but c'mon they havn't played anyone yet, which makes the masturbating over them tiresome. They will get tested this week, and so they should - they are playing a good team. Finally.
