Comforting I'm not the only one.
Essendon by 1 point.
WE will start well but they'll gradually get on top courtsesy of Lloyd being gifted at least 3 goals due to the umps falling for his corny acting and us giving away crucial 50 metre penalties at least twice.
They'll lead by 20 points at 3/4 time and extend it to 31 points at the 11 minute mark.
Then we'll come with our customary spirited and withering burst, play all over them and get to 5 points in front with 82 seconds left on the clock.
Unfortunately, they'll find a centre square infringement against us and then we'll spend 79 seconds frantically defending until one of the umpires at the other end of the ground will find a tiggy touch-wood free against Chris Scott and award another free to Lloyd 40 metres out on a slight angle.
Lloyd's shot will clearly take a deflection off the post but neither the goal umpire or any of the 3 field umpires will notice.
We will go home satisfied that despite the officials, the commentators, 90% of the crowd and God being against us, that we'll be back at the G on the last day in September to exact our revenge against the infidels.

What was the crowd, SB?
49,840
If I was really bored I'd do all 44 players stats.
Kicks, Marks, Handballs, Tackles, Frees For, Frees Against, Goals, Behinds.

Just looked on Centrebet.
Hadley kicking the first goal and Brisbane winning by under 24.5 points is paying $101.
Hadley kicking the first goal and Brisbane winning by over 24.5 is paying $81
Hadley kicking the first goal and Essendon winning by under 24.5 is paying $126.
Hadley kicking the first goal and Essendon winning by over 24.5 is paying $141
Until this week he was never on there. It was a selected few players then the option any other Brisbane player. Now they're giving him an option to himself.
Our predictions of Hadley kicking the first goal are stuffed. He's starting on the bench.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!
Well at least I got that part right.....
Delighted that the rest of my "prediction" can now be laughed at, especially by myself.
I love it when our boys prove me wrong.
That's a damn good get SB! You were less than 200 people off or an equation to 99.672% accuracy!
Yeah, probably the only one that I was close too haha.
