West Coast vs Essendon (OS) Seven & Fox 8:10pm All Times AEST
The Eagles loss to Hawthorn was the equivalent of getting hammered the night before exams, it just makes everything that bit harder.
The Hawthorn game certainly raised a lot of questions about West Coast. It’s not that they lost, it was how they lost. Like me being forced to watch The Bachelor, it was hard for them to hide their disinterest.
Still, the Eagles still are a team used to finals and loaded with talent, so it’s hardly beyond them and luckily the Grand Final isn’t held in the one spot every year giving an unfair advantage to teams that use it as a home ground.
I’ve been to a West Coast home final and it’s terrifying. It’s incredibly loud and you’re in dangerous proximity to an alarming number of Eagles fans.
My team went over there for a final and have never been seen since.
The Bombers haven’t won a final in 5479 days. It was all the way back on 4 September 2004.
Mark Latham was opposition leader when Essendon last won a final. Since then, both have mined the depths of new lows, the only difference is the Bombers show signs of coming out of it.
Essendon have already shown signs they’re on the right path, with Anthony ‘The only Essendon player I’ve ever liked’ McDonald-Tipungwuti re-signing recently.
A win here and it would be worth avoiding Bombers fans for all of next week.
Not that I’m too worried, I think the Eagles will win here.
