Preview Essendon vs Hawthorn, Docklands, 26/07/13

[LukeParkerno1]

Sigh I miss gumby.

Why? He has done nothing his whole career, I am over this "Gumby". I will be happiest when we cut our losses in the trade period. Daniher showed in one half more than Gumby showed his whole career. It is unfortunate, and I hate to bag our players, but the best news for EFC is if we trade him and get a 2nd rounder.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surprised by the omission of NOB.

Figured you could play him on Hodge while Hocking looks after Mitchell. Maybe they'll try that with Melksham?

Melksham and Hocking will tag, that said I would rather NOB stay over Jetta who always squibbs it when the pressure is on!

 

[Kermit D]

The reality is we have a 5% chance of winning this one, we have a 60% chance winning against the Pies. You are better to rest players that are sore this week and get them up for the following week.

Hurley DEFENCE!

Lloyd said something very similar about Carlton last year.

 

[HULK HOGAN]

Yeah, how dare anyone be critical of our selection decisions or even offer their own ideas.

It's been a massive year for the club, where are we on the ladder? Hmmmmm.

 

[Oh Tayteridge]

lol

 

[Doss]

It's an internet forum. If a) everyone agreed with everything the TRB did, or b) never expressed themselves when they didn't, there wouldn't be much pre or post match discussion, would there?

Hey I would love us to win, I'll be there with 8 friends but I am not expecting miracles lol

Yeah, let's hang our hat on being top 4 at this stage. No improvements to be made here.

Hallelujah!!! A mod steps in to defend someone's opinion, wish I could of got the same treatment in the past. WOW!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The positives this year is we are thinking of who to leave out...last year we were thinking "who do we have left"

 

[hurlygurdy]

Joe, really??

Oops

The Carlton game looked like more of a stretch than this IMO, it won't be a miracle, not even a massive upset. I reckon hawks are in for a shock even if we don't win.

 

[Ryder_Hooker]

We will get outplayed. Too many ins/outs.

 

[bulletride]

How good is this source!! More please!! Is your source Hirdy because that was the earliest team leak I have seen!!

I wish! Might have to listen to him more often now though

Hope you are right, have a 1pm flight to Melbourne tomorrow. Where do Essendon fans drink before the game lol

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I've been confident all week. I think we'll win this one. I'm making the trip over to see it!

 

[lamaros]

Jetta still in, suck it haters!!!

/13 year old me

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

- We will flog em.
- We will then take over the top of the ladder.
- The footy world will explode
- Jetta will dominate, and his detractors will roll up in a ball and cry
- Essendon fans to spam the BF boards with the Hird gif

My predictions come 10:30 tomorrow night

 

[TheDinosaur31]

Can't wait for the game, should be a cracker. Look out for me in the top few rows of the stadium!

 

[Duckworth]

There's a few nice bars on King Street.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Derp will kick 10

 

[monty1104]

Wont make the game Spewing but Friday nights are impossible for me.

 

[Johnny619]

We will lose. Or win. Maybe draw.

 

[Travisty1331]

If we don't get up for the first time in my life ill be barracking for Richmond could be painful being top then get catapulted back to fourth in the space of a week

 

[eth-dog]

Don't expect a well umpired game- we have those useless ****wits Matthew Nicholls and Shane McInerney, Mollison is alright but **** me, why you would let the first 2 anywhere near a top-of-the-table clash is beyond me. They're possibly the two worst umpires in the AFL. /rant
