Preview Changes v *, Sunday 1:10pm (* home game, replacement game for NMFC members)

[Ashley B]

To all those saying they don’t want to go because of what might happen.

Imagine if you won.

That is currently the nightmare living close to the surface of every Essendon supporters mind. That possibility must be worth the price of admission alone.

I like to think we can win every week however

I dont support opposing teams bar profits. However, I think it is worth the price of admission.. that final in 2014 which is burned into my soul was worth every ****ing penny

 

[DuckYeah]

This has 20 goals written all over it.

And the powers that be will tell the supporters everything is awesome.

****ing hell, I thought I was a miserable campaigner. Are you ok?

Yes. And I still feel the pain. Exactly! the tough games make the good games awesome. I made my kids go to every game in 2016 so they could experience the lows to finally enjoy the highs when we get the opportunity, like that of your 2014 finals win against us that still makes you smile. Sure they now hate football, but one day I think they will thank me (if they eventually talk to me again that is).

What highs have they experienced?

 

[Don Won]

Yep. None yet. None at all.

[The Nostradamus]

Lol shiels still in over wilphil

From those ins I guess Bergman, Simpkin and duursma/CT as the 3 ins replacing the 3 omitted

 

[DuckYeah]

Yep. None yet. None at all.

i can tell you what highs they’ve had.. its winning flags in November and being top 4 in May. Its the jabbers way.. anyway, with all due respect, I dont respect ya, go chase the dragon and respectfully **** off

 

[SnowyontheTram]

Ford????

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

******* hell, I thought I was a miserable campaigner. Are you ok?

Out team is a shemozzle.

And they’re flying downhill with the wind at their back.

I’m travelling just fine.

 

[Ischenko]

Why can’t we find a spot for Fordy?
Rough on Philips too, hard to see how yo-yo-ing in and out of the side helps his development. Give him a block of games on the AFL or the VFL.

Bergman

[Chadwiko]

Starting to feel bad for Phillips.

How is he expected to build any sort of consistency if he's bouncing in and out of the team each week?

Should never have played last week, even though he was ok. Needs a good month of VFL to build

Okay but the week before in VFL didn't he basically dominate and go BOG with something like 30+ touches and a bunch of tackles and clearances?

Not sure spending time in VFL is doing him much benefit beyond his current base.

 

[King Corey]

The AFL media already running with "finals drought about to break" headlines.

Combine that with our own innate complete shitness and there's no reason to go.

The players won't hear a handful of us parked up the back of the bleachers. Its not a true home game so we probably get zilch % wise for attendance.

Stay home, take some DMT and put 1993 The Season That Was on.

Not only will you enjoy the viewing, you'll also believe you're travelling through Denis Pagan's hair. Win-win.

 

[Possession]

Excited to see Bergman back in, and I'm surprisingly interested in seeing how Taylor goes. The return of Stephens is dubious at best, and I must echo others' concerns around Ford being absent.

 

[giantroo]

The team 12 months ago - lost by 6




Round 22 - lost by 9

 

[muttley45]

Would much prefer Ford to Stephens easily

Already? campaigners are normally running with this preseason. All we can hope for is that they epically shit the bed much like us in 2016.

Prefer anyone to Stephens. He has been so shit

I was at both of these games which seem a lifetime ago in terms to how I'm feeling about Sunday. Anyway, can only hope they have a crack.

The AFL media already running with "finals drought about to break" headlines.

So the AFL are treating Sunday's game as if it's a final for *

Is that the context?

I guess they suspect 8000 is likely unless they take some kind of radical action.
