You’ll find we’re not so much the “I told you so” type as the dreamers who like to think we’re still a chance. Lose one of our keys (Reid or Aliir) and we’re done. I don’t want to be done.

Spot on BfB. I hope Cox is giving Allir a crash course in protecting himself in ruck contests.
Reid and Allir are up against an ordinary ruck in Zac Clarke. In future weeks we play some talented and aggressive monsters. I hope Grassy really turns it on in the 2s and earns a debut next week.

One thing is for certain. There’s sure to be some kind of dramatic twist to the result. Dunno what it is about Swans Vs Bombers.

Me too. Really pleased with how they’re both travelling, but not indispensable compared to a fit McVeigh.
Ben Doolan, tough as they come.

Not enough Ed Considine or Ryan O'Connor in this thread.

Never thought I’d say this but not Rose please. He’s been extremely good since his recall

I think you and I apply a different meaning to "extremely".
He's been better than I expected.

Gives us flexibility and midfield rotations, he’s been very good

Unlike the majority here I have a soft spot for the Bombers (the drugs stuff aside, as that was disgusting)... I gew up with so many Bombers supporting friends, family etc. Been watching them since I was little, know their players & watch them with those friends/family often... So I am in a fantastic position to say we should push them & I'm confident if we maintain our high pressure & solid defence we should get the win easily... Essendons big issue is fwd 50 delivery. Quick on the rebound but pathetic once it gets within 60m of their goal. If we can get Hurley one out on a fast breaking/leading fwd that will help too... Don't let them get an extra man back. 1on1 & clear space & they will struggle against a flying Heeney/Parker + fast Hazy/Paps etc.

I'm glad it's Clarke and not Bellchambers in the ruck. Our weakness could become our strength since Aliir and Reid would absolutely torch Clarke around the ground and probably break even in the ruck.

This is why I feel we’ve taken a bit of a gamble. It’s only Clarke.

Re last sentence - the Bloods represent some of what is worth fighting for in life. The Dopers' are the antithesis of anything positive in life.

We had access to their selection committee meeting?

Who else was an option for Essendon without Bellchambers who was injured? Bit of common sense.

I’d agree you were a dreamer right, but then I suspect you will tell me you are not the only one and hope someday we will join you so the world can live as one

Is it common sense, I mean, we didn’t bring in a ruckman did we?
