Both Maxwell and Reid apparently.

Assume okay to post- I think Maxwell, Elliot and Ball will be back for us. Reid only played a half in the twos first game back last week.

You guys had a few missing last time from memory and was still a cracker of a game. Your two best hurts but we also could not beat GC with no one on the bench for them for the whole last quarter!!

Hoepfully this gives the opportunity for someone else to step up in BJs absence, who would have thought we would have beaten Port at AO without Watson and Hibberd? Hibberd hopefully comes back and Goddard goes out, quality replacing quality. Thinking back on the ANZAC match and BJ didn't play then and Jobe had a pretty quiet game anyway, I know we didn't beat them but did show what we are capable of against them in the first quarter. I think we can get up this week and make a real charge for the finals.

I think Bombers are really confident from the win over port at the Portress... soo I expect the Dons to get up at the MCG over the pies... Home game, big crowd, final's chances at stake... I think as the pies are on the slide, and bombers on the rise... expect them to pull off a win!
Prediction: Bombers by 19 points in front of 72K ppl.

Are Reid and Maxwell likely to be underdone?

Doubt Maxwell will be. Club has reported he had put in a heap of work and wanted to play last week. Reid will be in the 2nds for at least another week.

 

[eth-dog]

I thought Reid went off with a calf injury in the 2nd quarter?

Apparently a corkie and was only going to play a half anyway. Club saying he will play this week in the VFL.

 

[Essendonia]

Don't worry. Be happy.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Bombers have some unfinished business reckon we're going to win.

 

[Autobahn]

Don't worry. Be happy.

Christ almighty

This was the last time we beat Collingwood (ANZAC Day last year).



Hoping for another display and a passionate Bomber crowd.

That is why I follow football.

He picked to be Lil Jake Bow Wow.... think about that for a second.

It was his choice.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

We were ordinary when Goddard was last out...Jobe, Goddard and possibly Hibberd....can't see it but it would be a hell of a win if we did.

 

[yaco55]

GBB is on the mark. It's frustrating that Goddard has missed both Collingwood. In his current form Goddard could get us over the line in a close game. Tough to win with possibly 3 out of best 6 players unavailable,although Collingwood is far from at full strength.

Good work by Robbo. Reverse psychology.

Writes an article effectively saying Fletcher is finished.

Fletcher will now come out and play a ripper game to prove a point.

All part of Robbo's plan

Go bombers!

 

[Drummer_19]

I didn't see the Adelaide game but I havn't really seen a bad batch of games like he's claiming there. He's still incredibly efficient as a guy coming over to kill contests and being able to hit targets coming out the other way.

Missing a week & media spec could be whats needed to spark the old fella, but agree with Drummer_19 above, dont think he has been too bad over recent games.

But theres little doubt Bomber made the right move leaving him out last week, lets hope the right move this week is finding a spot for him again.

 

[Big Fresh]

Not convinced he needs a spark. He's been playing really well this season.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Has even better this year than the last few tbh.

 

[BrunoV]

Has even better this year than the last few tbh.

Agreed. Don't know what Robbo has been watching.

 

[eth-dog]

Much better than last season

 

[TD_B52]

We'll win.

 

[Halftimehero]

I actually thought he looked gone a few times last year and he has managed to prove me wrong again, will definitely bounce back and prove everyone wrong again, been doing it his all whole career don't see any reason why he won't do it again.
