Preview Round 3: Melbourne vs Essendon, MCG, Friday 05/04/19, 7:50 PM, The Melksham-Hibberd-Neeld Trophy

[jmoo wan]

Why? We’ll be one game behind Dees and every other team on 1-2 with 19 games to play. Not out of finals at all

It would be nice though to start the season in normal difficulty, not insane mode

 

[CBombers17]

So McGrath would probably go to a wing with Heppell on the inside?

All of them are on the wing with Myers on the inside. This is why it's going to be such an enthralling spectacle against Melbournes midfield.

[Burzum]

WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME

 

[Maddogm]

Are we actually victims of sabotage?

Nah mate, It's just a mirage.

Some extended benches in there but you get the idea. Seriously, who & what do we think we are?

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

So I tempered my expectations slightly after checking the team sheet and noting that each of Ambrose, Clarke, Baggins, Zaka, Guelfi, Mackernan, Bellend and Myers remain in our ?best 22. That being said I’m in for a pineapple and come on you campaigners!!

2000 GF on 504 now, oh the contrast.

You put $50 on this game for a return of $150?

Dude, call the number.

Wish they'd replay the R2 2016 game.

 

[rumply]

We. ARE. Essendon!


!!!!!!

Are we? I have my suspicions.

I'm disappointed that no-one has mentioned the Laverde in the corner.

I saw it and liked it immensely. I love how the fade out reflects when you die in a game.

 

[DapperDon]

The good old days when we had a bunch of kids and off casts and they would put an effort in

I dream of those days

It's meant to symbolize my will to live while watching us play but yeah that too!

 

[Runk]

Yeah I meant how we all die in both videogame form AND whilst watching Essendon play.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Have we lost yet?

 

[Daisy..1]

He looks like he is trying, I’ve got nothing else.

Because he is pretty???

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Because he is pretty???

But Langford was dropped, surely he is pretty dreamy?!

 

[fairbump_playon]

Fair enough. A one week special then! Though i may do it at random points of the year where we're playing shit.

Dapper Jong isn't a decent sample size unto himself. (Strangely dirty sentence)

I say do it. The idea of the Alex Morgan Shield is quite something.

 

[Kakkle]

We've won the first quarter in each of our last 11 matches as an underdog following a loss. So naturally we won't hit the scoreboard until the 9th minute of the 2nd tonight.

 

[Runk]

So do I Han. So do I.

 

[Blood Bomber]

Not afraid to say that I openly wept in front of my kids and wife after this game. Mrs was like "what's wrong we won?"

1 minute 30 seconds in... sums up Baguley in one passage of play. Appears to be trying his guts out, but achieving sweet FA.
