Preview Essendon vs Fremantle, Docklands, Sunday 27/08/17 @ 1:10 PM

[Zach Package]

What in the actual ****

It was round 2 2009, so pretty much 8 years between drinks.

There will only be 6 out of the 44 that played that day there on sunday at most, could even be as little as 2 or 3.

That is just evidence of money making by the AFL knowing they'd get more thru the gates there than here. Let's show them how ****ing wrong they've been. A fixed fixture. Who'd a thunk it?

It was Round 2 2010, not 2009.

But yes.

See I knew that (as shown by the 'pretty much 8 years between drinks'), I don't know why I put 09 though :/

We played them in Melbourne in Round 2, 2009 as well.

Zaharakis' first game.

 

[TDay]

Just get Stants into the forward pocket and tell him to run up and down the ground all day so he can take his opponent with him.
Create space for Joey, Hooksy and Stewart.
?
Profit.

And steal Fyfes underpants. #bringbackstants

 

[craffles]

Disagree with a lot of the posts calling for Jobe not to be picked. He has been beaten from pillar to post throughout the saga and maintained a strong position of leadership the whole time. Has been the fabric of the club and if it means we miss finals so be it (hard to think that Bird/Myers for Watson will do any damage?) Realistically we won't go too far in finals anyway so let's not treat our champions like norf.

Jobe

 

[AcuteWhistle]

Jobe will be playing & will not be the reason why if the side can't get over Freo, that particular horror story would have to owned by each & every one of the 22.

Despite not playing at our best against Gold Coast, we played with intensity and had almost 4 times their scoring shots. More of the same and we will win and it will give us an opportunity to fine tune our cohesiveness.

We put a hard tag on Martin and their other better players. As we did against the Saints when we beat them. Common denominator Bird.

In: Watson
Out: Green

If Stanton does not get a game would like to see him given a 1 year contract extension.

He will be a very well paid ressies player then

Stanton will retire. Might even be an announcement today or tomorrow.

 

[MarkG]

Stanton will retire. Might even be an announcement today or tomorrow.

He played early in the season after a long break and didn't play at his best. Has been playing well in VFL. Reckon he deserved to be given another chance.

 

[Doss]

He won't be and nor should he be. Stants has given us fantastic service for 14 years, but he's done.

If you get past half time then well done. I failed with my girl last year. She wanted to go at half time so we did. And it was against Melbourne!!!

I think you get to have a kick on the ground after the game. Bit of a buzz for the grown up kids as well.

I'm taking my boy, scored some sweet ass level 2 wing tickets for the occasion.

The main (only) Sunday funday thing that I like is the kick to kick, and that's awesome (assuming your kids don't get conked in the head with a footy). Make sure though that you have a very specific place that they know of to go to if they get lost, as it's very ****ing easy to lose them in the crowd. I always pick out a point post and say if you lose sight of me and are starting to get upset, go there and I'll meet you there. Pre-arrange, it's way better than everyone freaking out.

There's also a kids activity thing before the game but **** that, I take him to Auskick on a Saturday and that's much better.

If it's your kids first time just make sure you have plenty of food you can drip feed them. Keeps them there a bit longer. Also, a phone or tablet is good if they like that sort of thing

I'm not afraid to admit I looked at it several times and couldn't see anything so figured he'd accidentally posted the wrong pic. I found it eventually lol
