knees up

You know that it's 100% certain he'd be suspended for the exact same thing Moore has now done twice.

Incorrect

Team selection appears to be in agreement with me

 

[Chucks]

Who's our gut feel for the sub?

I feel it'll be Cox again, possibly Hind? In any case, I hope it isn't Shiel.

Perkins?

 

[mcgrath_truther]

i’ve got high hopes so expect a melt if we get spanked

 

[Don_Gia]

I’ll f***kn melt if Essington rears its head again.

This week and next week against Melbourne there are no excuses…not even umpiring…we lose tonight we’ll fall to 8th probably…

 

[Chucks]

Perkins?

I like it but realistically I just can't see Brad pulling the trigger.

In some ways it makes sense, as I see Arch as being a bit of a burst/inconsistent player, where he can really perform in patches. He does have a tendency of going absent a bit though, so also a bit of a risk.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Just need Stringer to run through Maynard, and 2MP to lead with his knees when in marking contests with Moore.

And then they can go to Ibiza early after the MRO gives them both 8 week suspensions

 

[rioli brownlow]

Perkins?

They wouldn't bring Shiel back just for him to the sub. Then again it's essendon football club we are talking about.
I feel aswell it will be either cox or Archie

it's exactly what happened the last time they brought Shiel back, unfortunately

 

[southern_crusher]

Lose this we don't make the 8 and the no final win streak continues.

 

[dank420_]

I’m tipping a win over a depleted Collingwood that papers over the cracks but it’ll be enough to have insane expectations put on to us and have us being disappointed no matter the outcome of the season.

 

[wichidi]

Not sure I can actually bring myself to watch the match tonight.

 

[ydc55]

I think this is the clubs most important game since the 2001 grand final.
They need to make a stand in a high pressure game and against an opponent who are everything we aspire to be the wat they have gone about it in the last two years.
For what it’s worth I quite like the side they have selected.
Go Bombers!

Lots of pot can help with that. Can even help you fall asleep at half time and miss the umpiring frenzy

I'm out for dinner, and I'm somewhat thankful for it

Or teams are putting more work into him since he became a 50 goal pure forward. Or he's out of form.

A bit of Column A, a bit of Column B

Jfc the pressure. Managed to buy one of the last tickets and will be first game in forever possibly 6 years. Really hope they put up a good show.

 

[MiguelM]

At least it will be dry.

Hopefully come out like we did against the Dogs.

Our whole forward line/ delivery into has been our achiles heel this year. When it clicks we will win by 10 goals with the number of entries we are getting. So frustrating.

It's time Bombers, just get it done.

A win will give us a much needed confidence boost. Most important game of the year by far.

Or be like Melbourne and keep being poor at this for 3 years

The slight difference, which in all likelihood will have nothing to do with whether he’s the sub tonight or not, is he’s in far better form this time around.

I think he played against North because he’s Dylan Shiel. I personally don’t think he deserved that game.

He was clear BOG in the twos last week (maybe aside from Bryan who rucked against a 12 year old) - he has earned this game imo. Would be madness to make him the sub.

Yeah, have watched him in the VFL and he was plodding along, getting touches but not impacting the contest like a senior player should if they are wanting to force themselves back in the senior side.

Last week he actually looked like he didn't belong in the VFL, was another level. Hoping he carries that into tonights game.

Could be a super important player for us if he hits form.
