Game Day WB vs Essendon R5

[dogwatch]

Form and history say we should win this in a canter. Essendon are our bunnies. We are even coming off a game last week that we should have won against far better opposition than Essendon. The boys should be fired up. Our injury list is short.

So why am I nervous? I guess it's just part of the Bulldog DNA.

Anyway, just in case you were wondering it is 7160 days since the Bombers won a final. It'll be exactly 20 years on 4 Sept 2024.
Whatever happens tonight I don't think that particular clock is going to be reset this year.

Now I'm REALLY worried!

 

[Dog 36]

Why am I nervous about this game when I should not be.

Answer we rely on too few to get it done and eventually that catches you out

Hope my nerves are not warranted

Because Bulldogs

Trepidation

Sanders sub, weird selecting 9 defenders, 8 assuming Williams plays on wing is still 1 too many

Hope it's a good omen.

Might be just easing up on his load after four games where he has spent a lot of time on the ball.
Could also be a good teaching opportunity looking on for half a game, but I don't know if they roll that way.

 

[dogwatch]

Jamarra's 50th game. 66 goals (1.35 per game) so far in his career.

Time to start building that average!

 

[DognBones]

Loser of this will most probably limp through the season without any serious expectation of challenging the best teams. A lot riding on this particularly for us.

 

[Next Waiting]

En route. I have only ever witnessed one loss to the Bombers and that was the day Clay did his ACL.
Think I'm about 12 and 1 and some of those 12 have been glorious drubbing.
More of the latter less of the former if recent history is a guide

Trepidation

Rightfully so after the end of last year. I suspect we are getting hosed over tonight by s*it coaching and a non-competitive ruck. I hope I am wrong, dear Lordith.

Just popped a valium and settling in for the game

Sent a pick of this to my Essington supporting son

Dale is the sub. As expected. And it's due.

 

[Hutchymundo]

Ummm Dale Sub??

 

[spinningmagnets]

Ummm Dale Sub??

Because he has been shit and he is next on the chopping block.

 

[Bonty4]

Haven’t been to a live game in a while, how do we see on our digital membership where our seat is?

 

[StringyDog]

Dale is the sub. As expected. And it's due.

Makes much more sense, they had Sanders on big screen as sub before. Agree he has been ordinary this year

 

[Hutchymundo]

Because he has been s**t and he is next on the chopping block.

Vanders has been far far worse, not a whole lot of run gonna be coming from the backline, which is something ya want against the bombers as the are the easiest team in the competition to transition against.

I was there the day Clay did his ACL against the Saints in 2015 and we lost after being 55 up at half time. Billings kicked six.

Scrag - send me 20mg of Val if you have any in stock.

Has he run over the goal line?

 

[The Buck]

Has he run over the goal line?

Yeah, needs a bit of work.

 

[adogsfan5]

Jamarra / Naughton / Darcy
Vs
McKay / Laverde / Cox

We should be winning this game.

And yet I’m not confident at all.

Score review, I think it’s a behind but just want to check it was completely over the line
