"The Bombers are back"

[MARC_]

Essendon’s players returned to the track this week to resume their fitness testing ahead of the upcoming NAB Cup campaign.

With the pre-season competition just over a month away, high performance manager Dean Robinson said the players had returned to the club in good shape following the Christmas break.

“The playing group came back in a really good state both physically and mentally and as a whole, they have all tested well since returning to the club,” Robinson said.

“Following the break, we noticed they had put on a lot of extra strength which was particularly pleasing to see.

“At this point in time of the pre-season campaign, the players and their physical states are where we want them.”

Great read, I think they can make the 8 again this year and possibly be in the top 4. Go the mighty Dons.

It's nice that they look fit. Sadly a few leg weights won't make shit players better footballers

7-12th

Are you okay?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I admire your optimism young man.

I think if it was not for GC,GWS and PA Essenscum would be right in the mix for the wooden spoon.

Strange that a club spokesman would speak so highly of his team just before the pre-season...

Not strange that Bombers fans gobble this up to mean top 8, possibly top 4 finish.

“The playing group came back in a really good state both physically and mentally and as a whole, they have all tested well since returning to the club,” Robinson said.

“Collectively, they're in a much better physical state than in other recent pre-seasons, though that can be explained solely by Jay Neagle's delisting.”

It's going to be an interesting round 1 game between the Bombers and Roos. On one hand you have a team that has come back stronger over the pre season and on the other, a team who's universally accepted as having the best time trials. Good luck selecting that winner, both in red hot form. Me, I'm convinced Essendon's strength will get them over the line.

Re: "The Bombers are back in the bottom (t)hird of the ladder"

fixed that title for ya.

i will admit i expected same in 2011, and they did surprise, but they certainly havent improved in any way.

year 2 of a 4 year contract = try lots of kids and sack the spuds.

by 2014 theyll be challenging finals again and hird will keep his job.

The bowls club returned from their pre season break a lot more stronger than Essendon did

Loving the new title, love how Marc used it as well.

Holy **** that website is an eyesore.

Least we actually have a functioning website that we are in control of.

How's Telstra treating your shit club?

 

[kreuze_missile]

Oh god MARC_ is a shit poster.

I'm convinced he thinks he is posting on his own club's board and not actually Bay 13

Nestled in Richmond Paddock ,a nice stroll to the City.

Where's your shithole of a club?!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Probably better than the local bowls club is treating yours...

Don't forget one of them has this "dream team" who is the answer to all their prodigal prayers, as shown in 2011.

Whilst the other side of the coin has this trump-card -

hmmmm, maj we flip again for best out of 3..???

 

[Baldur]

Damn this is bad news. Even when Essenscum had that idiot Knights in charge they could defeat the Saints. Round 15 just blew away on the weights.

 

[Sillylittlebugga]

Essendon (wrecking ball) Bombers!

Top 4 Lock.

Your making up the numbers, probably the bottom 8 ones.

 

[Tyler Durden007]

Tullamarine are ****ed. Bottom 4. Ahhh it's good to be King

 

[longdaveyjetta]

Tullamarine are ****ed. Bottom 4. Ahhh it's good to be King

I assume you are referring to the 16 time premiers the might EFC..

Now Tyler, it seems the flag has gone to your head, care to have a wager on your prediction that we will finish bottom 4???? Name your price, tipping you will back off faster than Cheffy did last year when he said we would be in Bali in the first week of September...

C'mon Tyler, put your money where your mouth is or retract it and admit we will finish 6-8th...After all, we did sort your feeble mob out this year, so what does that say??

i cant wait to we smash the bombers in round 1
