LOL ...
As an Essendon supporter, there are only 8 sides I'd be confident of beating or coming close to if all things were even. By all things being even, I'd say no home-ground advantage and all players fit and firing.
North, Richmond, West Coast, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Adelaide, Fremantle, Gold Coast.
Even though they are better than us, I'd say we're a good chance against Collingwood and Footscray as well.
Form slumps and injuries give us a shot against Brisbane, Geelong, GWS and Melbourne too.
However, you can bank on none of that come finals time and expect all teams that are having form and injury problems now to sort it out by then. If Essendon makes it to the finals off the back of our good start to the year, I can not see them beating any of the other finalists fully prepared for us.
What is a more interesting discussion is the form and development of Bryan, Caddy and Reid in the 2s. More improvement Jones, Hobbs and Tsatsas. And finally the "war chest" available for free agents at the end of this year and next.
.. yeah because what you focus on has a big influence on how your team plays ... lol
Is there a better time to troll? Makes you put in a bigger effort.The person who started this thread is either trolling, on a pretty bad drugs trip or possibly both!
That 103.3 in the bottom right really stands out to me!
Selling yourself short with the Bradbury comparison sure being in 2nd is a little flattening.
But your're a solid 6-8th team on current form.

Essendon can win it, but Carlton 2024 is a lock apparently - great thread
I've written a letter to Goddard. It starts with "Let's talk about that movie..."

kreuze_missile you've found a loophole to troll on the main board, instead of via Bay 13.
Well done, son. Well done.

The insecurity from my fellow Bombers supporters in this thread is disappointing, and a little bit cringe (you guys sound proper uptight, its just a game of footy!).
Can I just say that I really do feel something special brewing this year. Can feel it in my gut. I really do think this is the year that our boys win an elimination final.

If you make top 4 and go out in straight sets that would be pretty special too. Imagine the LOLs.
Maybe that's what you're feeling but you've misinterpreted it.

You're 2nd on the ladder and all you want to win is an elimination final?
Even the more optimistic Essendon supporters are still sad pessimists.
It's clearly been a rough couple decade...

An elimination final win is the be all and end all according to the Carlton fan base. The contact vitriol about winning a final means this is the goal (apparently)
This post of yours proves you are trolling
Nah that was before Papley advised us. He told us the edge was fake and that we needed to do it for 4 quarters. After some teething problems, we've done what he advised us. I wonder what other guidance he will give us in the return game to prepare us for finals.

This. Bombers would beat Sydney by 6 goals now they have the edge worked out.
If things go as expected from here they will end up with a home game grand final against the Swans which they should win easily.
I thought Carlton would be first to 17 flags but I could never have imagined Essendon being this dominant.
I honestly had them finishing bottom 4.. but not now. They’re legit.
Lmao please stop trolling.
