Preview Round 24 - Essendon vs Brisbane Lion - Saturday 24 August - 7:25 PM - The Gabba

[wichidi]

Hayes should definitely come in for Weid. Then he can play amongst a backline that is "best in class" and "best practice". Lots of learnings for the kid on how to play the Essington way, in prep for next year.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Don’t care about changes tbh. Would love to tune in to watch SEH play tho.

Weid had a good game. I wouldn't protest him being dropped but equally I'd keep him ahead of Laverde or Kelly.

 

[Nifft]

I think this will get ugly. We may need to brace ourselves and assume the position....

 

[ydc55]

Essendon will win this.. nothing surer

Pressure off, nothing to play for (finals are out of the race) so we'll come out "breathing fire".




ORRR

We come out and absolutely switch off, lose by that yearly 15 goals in the last round

I don’t think you could fault our effort against Sydney.
Just our talent and lack of forward connection.
I think the breathing fire tag is unfair.
In most games the boys have had a real crack just not good enough.

It's Joe's 200th game

His PB is 6

He might get 7+

**** him. Nothing would make me happier than ruining his milestone game like we ruin our own players milestone games.

Probably a greater chance we lose by 100+ than that though

That should've been last week in front of the home crowd. Seriously, this flipping club..........

 

[andleanback]

Farewell game. I’m expecting a bloodbath. Nothing surer

Why on earth would be handing out farewell games while we are technically still in the finals hunt

 

[Beerfish]

One more for old times sake.

 

[Pweter]

This is no word of a lie going to be a 120 point loss.

How do you know? Better not be lying. Why would you lie?

 

[dank420_]

Dons by 12

 

[Shanghaistu]

Farewell game. I’m expecting a bloodbath. Nothing surer

Surely we can expect the team to play with the exact same “passion and grit” that they displayed for his 250th

 

[JuniorWatch]

Play more kids please now its over

In: Tsatas, L.Hayes, Davey and Saad El Hawli

This.
Just having one game to finish the year can be a huge motivator in the off season. If they all do a few nice things in the seniors that's all you need to motivate yourself to get more of it next year.

I notice Runk thought it was funny.
It was a fact.

We weren't, which of the previous 6 games did you miss.

NICE things, we've been too nice for too long, we need some shit in us and not the type we've been dished up.

 

[BomberFan355]

Brisbane playing for a home final, us in Ibiza mode, 90 point loss!

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Channeling Purple:
IF...
this isn't a 15 goal + win for Brisbane

THEN...
it'll be a ~15 point win to Essendon

One or the other. Nothing in between. Such is the mana of Essington. It's in the bones of the Hanger.

One thing with Joe is you can be certain no matter what, any great games he has will be undone by a selfish brainfade at some point in a critical moment.

 

[ant555]

And if they think that inside the club then we are more ****ed than people think.

 

[sup3rfish]

Changes id like to see -
Out: Kelly, Weideman, Gresham, Stringer, Laverde
In: Tsatsas, Hayes, El Hawli, Tex, Hepp (already announced)

Changes more likely
Out: Kelly
In: Hepp

 

[The Prosecutor]

How in the loving **** does Tsatas not get a game? Or El Hawli and Hayes?
