Essendon are now the one to watch out for - They can win the premiership

[Yoda_]

What else would you expect with all the pole smoking going on in the pro Bombers media?

Just this year we've had...

The Essendon Edge.

Merret is the best captain in the AFL.

Mckay is the recruit of the year.

Caddy is the next Curnow/superstar.

Every single unconvincing win against mediocre opposition is considered a statement win. The carry on after the Pies victory was cringeworthy, especially where Collingwood are now.

It's regularly forced upon the footy public that they're in the games elite, both some players and the team. The only thing Essendon is elite at is getting ahead of themselves, both supporters and the club.

Lol, the Hawthorn barmy army in full fight on that comedy show called "Bounce" ? he one where more entertainment is shown than actual knowledge.. There is more football knowledge in the MPNFL week in review than that calamity of a show

Gws about to beat gold coast and Essendon to drop to 7th.

Port to do Richmond tonight and Essendon to drop to 8th.

Just need Melbourne to defeat Freo tomorrow and the Holy Trinity will be complete.

Bombers out of the finals again

[Dangerousfield]

But the coteries love him
And they’ve got more money than you …

I’ve probably got more money than plenty of the coteries but yes your point still stands

 

[Rod Stroker]

Thread continues to bring the LOLs. The bookies have the Hawks in 11th as a better chance to win the flag.

Last nights result was good for the comp.
Can’t have Essendon up there in this years finals series.

Teams like Collingwood and Western Bulldogs will give much more competition when finals time comes.

Sure about that?

 

[HTPunter]

that goal of the year was the worst thing that could have happened to draper.

every time he touches the ball near the fwd 50 he tries to recreate it.

needs to ****in pull his head in and do the 1%ers.

100% agree. If you’re a Rankine or Kosi Pickett, fair enough if you try to create every single time, and play with flair, but I don’t even go for Essendon & Draper makes me tear my hair out. Percentage game, play the high percentage team option, he’s played 67 AFL games now he shouldn’t be making such dumb decisions ball in hand. Needs a chat with a Tom Hickey type who stayed in his lane. Goldstein is a great ruck but he’s also prone to biting off more than he can chew.

 

[The acurate one]

You are all being resultist.

 

[Shane Heard]

You are all being resultist.

I concur. Results aren’t everything.

Until elimination final time..

Ben is ok worth the 800+k easily!

Did Brad Scott just do the fastest rebuild in history?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

What a surprise, thread is busy again.

While it says Essendon in the title, it’s clearly about Carlton.

It was started when Carlton’s season looked hopeless - after an identically named thread about Carlton.

Busy again now? Carlton have a major wobble on - two straight losses then barely getting over North Melbourne, needing the umpires to finish the game for them.

Cope away baggers, we’re here to help.

It is all a bit small-club mentality though. Just a bit pathetic.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

How is this thread still open, it was obvious from the beginning that it's just a vehicle for the Carlton OP to sniff his own farts.

 

[Lia]

I think that the legend KreuzeMissile has got what he wanted out of this thread

 

[mcgarnacle]

I'd say it's still too early. Brisbane are the form team right now, but that could change over the final few games of the regular season. Key is to win enough games for top 4, but time the peak for September as well.

A "brave" victory over North and choking away two 30+ leads?

Karma bus has left Tullamarine and is headed towards Lygon St

Jump back in Blues fans, the water’s warm! This is your safe space after a loss.

 

[Chief]

Jump back in Blues fans, the water’s warm! Thai is your safe space after a loss.

Bookies have Bombers at $41.

I am not confident in an Essendon premiership either - but obviously anyone in the top 8 CAN possibly win.
