Fixture Could Essendon win the last 9 and make finals

[VinnieB]

I feel this question is like when someone asks if you want a shiit sandwich. You know the answer, but stop momentarily to think. It’s so blatantly an obvious ‘No’ but there must be a trick to the question I haven’t quite figured out.

Unless youre Bear Grylls

 

[FrankGrimes]

lol more likely to lose the last nine and finish 3rd last.

 

[Chris Lewis]

No, very unlikely. West Coast may beat them next week.

 

[Ambrosia]

expect us to lose this week to the Eagles.

 

[pazza]

The depth could be key. 19 listed players were in the reserves yesterday. Fitness is going to be critical.

 

[BigVic]

No chance at all

 

[boncer34]

Should be a good first week

 

[Juddernaut08]

It’s been done before (2014 tigers) and it would continue their trend trying to mirror the Tigers.

yes. but 12 may not be enough

 

[Jakksynn]

Would pay money for them to mirror the 2014 tigers. Win 9 in a row and then get their pants pulled down in an elimination final. How good

You'd pay money to see another club play Finals instead of your own? Everyone has their kinks I guess.

Where did I say I wouldn’t pay money to see my team play finals? Those things are not mutually exclusive champ

Port aren't playing finals if Essendon make it though. You enjoy the footy version of cuckolding. It's ok, we're not here to shame.

Eagles - 60/40. Would have had it better, but Eagles are getting their core back and they're at home
Swans - 40/60. Have the wood on us, though this is in melbourne
Lions - 5/95. In QLD, likely raining, can't beat them
Suns - 50/50. Our home game and injury has hit the Suns. But they bring work rates that we don't deal with
Pies - 45/55. We seem to do well in the 2nd game when we play them twice. Not confident though
North - 80/20. Not too bothered
Giants - 35/65. Away game for us. Can't recall when we've beaten them at home
Port - 45/55. In Melbourne. Have generally been too good for us
Tigers - 40/60. Its the Tigers. we can't beat them

so tipping a 2 wins at best. Maybe another 2-4 upsets at best.
Top 4 pick without doubt for me.

It's only the 2020 that counts less 'cause "Wichmond wa wa wa"


Just one in our dynasty, but the most challenging of our 3 premierships so far. But I guess if you feel that trying to diminish the success of others makes your 1peat seem a little better to you, knock yourself out
Not one thinks you pea hearted. Honestly.

It was the same for all sides in 2020. 2020 didn’t suddenly make good sides bad and vice versa.

 

[srobbo]

Will just about be at full strength in coming weeks once McGrath, Langford & Snelling return, so we’ll give plenty of sides some grief.

 

[ep2018]

Win number 2 coming up against them this friday imo.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

A random thread about an unlikely event, thinly disguised as a way of bringing up Richmond.
Cool.

 

[Arr0w]

I doubt they make it, but with reverting back to last year's setup/gameplan a couple of weeks ago, no surprise on the weekend and they will start to win more games against sides on the fringe of the 8

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

The Saints just had an off night, Essendon are not much chop.

Had an off night due to Essendons pressure and how they played in saying that no chance

At best we would casue some upsets by stuffing up teams chances in the 8

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

With Brisbane at the Gabba in there? You’re kidding yourself.

I fully expect us to win a few, get a worse draft pick, give undeserved optimism and then settle into our customary mediocrity again. It’s the Essington way.

What's wrong with finsihing the season strong and using it as a platform for next year? I rather us build a winning culture and improving then tanking for a draft pick. a top 10 pick is still pretty good

 

[Falcon3518]

i like richmond tho.

Richmond were a good team and good on them for winning in 2019 after botching the prelim the year before.
2020 was a pretend version of footy though. I wouldn’t even care if Melbourne won it, in fact I’m really glad we didn’t.

Hindsight is 20/20 mate. Can’t believe you actually think you’re smart saying this

 

[lumpinee]

To be fair Richmond’s 2014 finals run was better than their 2020 covid cup.

 

[lumpinee]

take it to the bank
