Game Day Essendon vs Collingwood, MCG, Friday 23rd August @ 7.50 PM

[Bombers36]

I've long held the belief that we match up OK on Collingwood, and we only narrowly went down to them (thanks mainly to the umpires) on Anzac day earlier in the year.
The team looked really good against the Dockers - and it would be great to get the win here and have some momentum going into finals.

I'd have just a couple of changes;-

OUT: Margaret, Zakka
IN: Hooker, Laverde

Hooker Hurley Saad
Gleeson Francis McKenna
Merrett Heppell Parish
Langford McKernan Tippa
Stringer Brown Fanta

Z.Clarke Ambrose Shiel

Bench: Redman McGrath Ham Laverde


Comon Bombers!

I have zero faith but this club confuses me at the best of times, it’s like being in a relationship with a lunatic and the only thing I’ve wanted for so long is to trust what I’m gonna get.

And then when you think everything's going well, you come home and she's snapped all your CD's in half.

Maybe.

 

[Vindicater]

Reckon we will give this one a shake. Not super confident however on coming away with a win.

 

[Coldacre]

another slaughter on the way.

there is no way in hell we are going into this finals series off a comfortable, energizing win.

Essington out in force tonight

[CBombers17]

Is my man Longy playing? 3 goals and a contract extension coming up!

I don't know why but I think we will do very well tonight.

 

[rumply]

Haha, illness works for me

 

[Red Black and Blue]

anyone watch the NGA game before hand?

 

[rumply]

VS a late out with 'illness'? Delist...

 

[citizen-erased]

Excited to watch Jok and having TBC back
And I have pizza and wine
From here on out, I’m not fussed what happens as long as no one in red and black gets injured

 

[quotemokc]

If there was a ever a game where the result didn't matter its tonight. (for us anyway)

I will be looking for team cohesion up forward and going toe to toe with the pressure Collingwood can bring to prepare us for finals.

 

[JayDon]

TBC shaved head. ON!

 

[Runk]

In two weeks it should be very interesting

 

[Highly Evolved]

Apparently Team USA are here?

 

[quotemokc]

McKenna is now Oconnor

 

[Seb78]

Stupid handball by Francis

 

[Runk]

If Begley becomes an actual decent player I’ll eat my hat.

 

[rumply]

Francis can only improve

 

[scythe]

Brilliant team play.

 

[JayJ20]
