Preview Round 13: Essendon Bombers vs Carlton Blues - Battle of the Consolidation Prizes - MCG - Sunday 9th June - 7:20pm

Lmao we can't do it to North and West Coast and we're going to beat Carlton by 50?

I'll be happy with a one point after-the-siren win from a BS free kick that wasn't deserved. I want to be agreeing with Carlton fans that the win wasn't deserved in a patronising way because those are the losses that hurt the most. I want the AFL to come out and say "It was a mistake".

Yep it would be really nice to have to say something like "It's such a shame there isn't a decision review process for field umpiring decisions because that was a really obvious error. I feel for you. No-one should lose a game under those circimstances".

I feel like has never played footy. At school he walked around the oval commentating on it and getting in the road while the other kids played. Nothing wrong with that but the problem is he has no feel for the game and often makes very off calls about what’s happening and why. Given all the above you wonder how he came to be so central to our lives and that’s probably why he cops the haters.. because his ambition is so far out in front of his talent.

Most people have had a senior boss who is a content free waste of space, who just repackages what other people say.. and they ask themselves how the hell did this person get that job? That’s Damo to me.

If Damo was more athletic he would have made a bad umpire.

i wonder if he enjoys watching more than doing in more facets of his life

this is poetry.. especially this: “because his ambition is so far out in front of his talent.”

Hi I have 1 ticket available sitting level 2a behind the goals.
Asking for just $50 for it.
If interested send me a PM
Thank you

anyone with half a brain would be thinking this.

90 000 people have been thinking this all week.

Exploit their shit defense.

Wright to kick six.

I think this is where we can do well.

Pop Cox down there too and that will really stretch them.

Of course, we must break even in the midfield at least to exploit this.

 

[faible]

Perkins to go ballistic: 32 disposals, 3 goals, 9 tackles, 3 brownlow votes.

Idk how some Carlton fans are going to cope if we happen to win this today. The carry on from them the past week or so has been insane.

Certainly up and about on their "preview" thread. Media have over rated Blues on the back of their win against Port too.

Just hope the players are sucking up the bathwater too.

[Edit] Scratch the request, one of them has been called into work so we will try to get the whole gang together for another game!

Good luck tonight!

Hi Dons board, hope me barging into a gameday thread isn't too rude!

Bit of a long shot, but if anyone (preferably in AFL members/GSS/Warne stand level 1 area, but not picky!) has a couple of spare tickets they no longer plan on using, I'd be willing to put them to good use.

I've got a few international guests attending their first game ever and have managed to get entry for four of us, but there are two more who have missed out at this stage. I only found out they were free and keen to join yesterday, hence the last minute nature of the request. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

[MiguelM]

Excited and nervous at the same time!

Not a great day so far. Going to be more a contested battle at ground level which may not help us.

[TheUnicorn]

Having this match so late into the weekend is torture! I want it now!

We'd better be competitive after all this build-up.

Spoiler: swearing

**** Carlton

 

[Redandblackflyup]

Still have a few tickets for the big game.

Be great if I can help out a bomber family as a Dad myself.

Go Dons

I know what you mean, but I also briefly wondered what eth-dog did to deserve this treatment.

All the ones I know personally haven’t said a thing, they’re shitting themselves that’ll they’ll lose.
