I think we will win 1 or 2 but this weeks worries me.
Port have an excellant record against us plus throw in our apalling record on the road.
Just to top it off we will be wearing the famous grey guernsey ;)

Come on mate the grey isnt that bad ;).

I doubt Port will beat you this week. But geez if they do then maybe your season is over as you need to keep winning to stay with the top 4.

Honestly think Essendon will struggle to make eight now as it seems you'll need 14 wins to get in and think they'll find that hard.

Not sure about 14 wins to make the 8, currently 8th-12th are on 7 wins and cant see any of those sides winning 7 of their last 8.
Reckon 12 wins will be enough which means we need 2-3 more wins to play finals. If we lose this weekend we are in strife

Thought you were going to embrace the 50 shades of grey guernsey? It should have been annihilated after last weeks effort in that disgraceful strip

I actually dont mind it but if we get beaten this week then it will be time to bin it.
We offered up a reverse guernsey that was all red with a black sash but the AFL rejected it, not sure what else we can offer for a clash strip

The afl rejected that? That reverse guernsey would look ok. Would like to know why they would reject that. It would only clash with gc, maybe Sydney. To be honest there aren't that many genuine clashes in the comp

It was rejected because the AFL classify red as a dark colour. Essendon needed to have a 'light' colour.

What they produced if awful though. Should of just change the black to white and kept the red sash.

No, I don't feel confident. We got pumped in the corresponding game last year.

No, I don't feel more confident now given that we don't have a second ruck at all.

Yes, we have a shocking run at Etihad. We just don't play well there.


Even with overblown's endorsement :shock:


I do realise that favours us somewhat, this is the same man who believed Black Caviar would lose each race between about race 12 and 20.

How is that grey light? Terrible decision by the AFL then.

Collingwood, west coast, Sydney and hawthorn. The flag will be won by one of these. Hopefully the crows can get up there to contend. Not sure they can win it. If not hope the swans do
