[dnbassador]

Mate, I'm a chance, 65 year old piss head, at least I'd have an excuse for dishing up the shit we as supporters have had to endure over the last 6 weeks.

The last 6 weeks?

 

[boncer34]

[astrowizzle]

As supporters we have checked out early this year but not as early as the club.

Damn you Essendon you win once again

They have to win something. Too dimb to win the spoon and bottom out

 

[Vindicater]

[eastaugh36]

Read an interesting stat earlier. Apart from the top 4 sides Essendon is the only other team to have a positive record against the current top 8.

 

[Cold Sober]

I have the answer to all our problems.
I have a 100 on both Sydney and Brisbane. [ 6 weeks in a row i've backed Us ]
I don't select Us in my tipping. [only picked against us once in said six weeks and guess who won.]

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Gresham and Menzie out ahead of Davey is just staggering reading…

 

[theboxmike]

Let’s win this one and finish on a high. That’s all I ask for.

 

[dank420_]

Let’s win this one and finish on a high. That’s all I ask for.

There’s still another match after this which might be a 100 point loss.

 

[theboxmike]

There’s still another match after this which might be a 100 point loss.

Yeah but I’m not counting that belting.

 

[Skipper_]

Weid and Saad apparently trained as part of the A backline today.

 

[sameolds33]

Friday night game is good news.

leaves the weekend free for better things

 

[Runk]

GET YOUR MULTIS ON!!!

Essendon's at great odds at the moment. Same with winning margin.

(gamble responsibly)

 

[Shanghaistu]

The AFL tipping app won’t let me choose the Swans by more than 100 points….

 

[JayJ20]

Bring Heppell in for a farewell game. Plenty of spuds in the side that can be replaced.

i like this side

 

[BratPack]

I have no idea how the line is only 9.5. I am hammering that like my name was Thor

 

[Hird05]

Contrary to most I thought our midfield was good, main problem was forward execution obviously. Maybe try Langford back, Jones HFF and Martin/Durham wings.

Hayes - Laverde
Tsatas - Parish
El-Hawali - Davey
Hobbs - Cox
Menzie sub

It will only take ̀ minutes to remember why Weiderman was dropped. He is Laverde without the effort.
