Thursday night is so shit.

 

[Tassieboy]

8th has a good record against 5th.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

i shouldn’t be confident and I’m not

 

[brendan84]

Our season has probably been the biggest roller coaster ride of any team. If we bring our best we can do it. We are more of a chance against the eagles in Perth than beating Richmond anyway so we dodged that bullet

 

[Howard Moon]

If Margetts is scheduled I'll be screaming from the roof tops... Need to start a petition now, he must not be allowed near a wce final.

Hawks beat wce by pressuring hard when the Eagles tried to exit on the switch. Unlucky for us fwd pressure is our least favorite pastime. We prefer to do everything from the back :/

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Thursday night makes it even harder for any fans to travel. campaigners.

Perth Bombers, it’s on you!

Give em hell

 

[carnthedons]

The only thing to hang our hats on and feel a sense of potential about this game is our complete inability to trust this team. Nobody right now knows what the **** we’ll roll out.

 

[windyhill]

I shouldn’t be confident... But I’m confident?

I'm feeling it. Can't explain it, but I'm feeling it.

Can the mods edit the poll?

 

[LB#16]

Being confident because we beat them two years ago over there and Hawthorn dominating them there this week feels like absolute fool's gold to me. I'm going in with very low expectations.

 

[windyhill]

We own these maggots in finals. Is it 6 or 5-0 ? Whatever , they're our bitch.

 

[JayJ20]

In remembrance of the classic West Coast vs Essendon rivalry, I vote for West Coast to host us at the MCG.

 

[Bombermania]

Playing around with the ladder predictor had us always running into them at some stage so it might as well be first up, who knows with a number of key players freshened up and knowing they are not favorite might work.

 

[BomberTime]

Have a crack at them.

Francis Hooker Gleeson
McKenna Hurley Saad
Redman Heppell Parish
Stringer Brown Ambrose (to Yeo)
Fantasia McKernan Tipungwuti
Bellchambers Shiel Merrett
Langford McGrath Laverde Clarke

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Can't wait until we play West Coast, It's been 17 years since we played them in a final.

Ambrose should definitely match up on Darling, or possibly Yeo through the middle. T-Bell will absolutely smash Vardy and give our mids first use. Walla to kick 10 on Sheppard.

Go Dons, we will smash West Coast by 100 goals.

Time to fill in the blanks

 

[PressureCooker]

Confident? No. Hopeful excitement for me. Finals baby!

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

Surely Margetts cannot be given this game.

Can Ambrose go forward be the player that makes McGovern accountable rather than letting him float free or do we need him on Darling?

Clarke to Yeo.

Saad and McKenna roles crucial offensively and defensively.

 

[Shane Heard]

Thursday night makes it even harder for any fans to travel. campaigners.

Perth Bombers, it’s on you!

Give em hell

There will be thousands turning up don’t worry

 

[justlookingaround]

Counts for nothing but still

Clarke to Shuey - could Ambrose play d-forward on McGovern?

 

[Vindicater]

Out: Jok, Hartley, Begley and D Clarke.

In: Heppell, Hurley, Fantasia and Stringer.

No way his season earns a finals spot, think we're safe there.

 

[ShaunWCEFC]

Good luck Thursday week, hope it's a cracker Final.

Still love ya woosh

 

[Shane Heard]

Ya gotta be positive people.

This is fun. The fun is back.

We thought our club was doomed for eternal hell a few years ago and here we are playing an elimination final ffs.

If JD had of played all year in form and not so many other injuries, we couldn’t been a top 4 side right now.

But we have to win 3 games to make it now. That’s footy when you drop a few games.

You never know what can happen. You gotta be in it to win it etc etc


Think of this game as an end of year bonus. We’re really not supposed to be there but we have done enough to deserve a spot.

Win or lose vs WC it’s all about next year isn’t it?

But in the meantime I’ll be enjoying the build up to playing an elimination final. It’s do or die football. Anything can happen. Players will go at it hard.

We are in good form ...effort wise.

That’s a good thing.


So get excited you negative nellies out there and stop being so pessimistic and forlorn about the possibility of defeat.

If we go down ..so what.

It’s valuable experience for our squadron of young bombers.

Bombers forever
