[The Bedge]

Please explain to me why Essendon aren't winning tonight

First reason would be that they haven't started yet.

Some of your best work.

At the G against the Tigers in from of a big crowd
Doesn’t get any better regardless of the players that are out there

[marbles]

it have been nicer to have lost it, as then our new future coach would be well on the way. Instead another week of hanging in there MV

he might bring some mongrel and strike fear into the players to fight for victory! He might also not be a ranga. Rangas dont win flags lol

I also find it a little bit Op Shoppy when youve got Kenny's brides lining the Carlton boundary and steering the ship.... Voss, Davies & Boak.

Like lets employ Ports hand-me-downs who havent won anything between them.

Give me Longmire & Adam Simpson over the Power's back up brigade anyday

My Friday Forecast -

* Free Kick Hawthorn.
* Gunston kicks 5.
* Essendon kids look promising.
* Hawks benefit from already playing a game and win by 34pts.
* Attendance 86,845.

Pretty much the same except I think there was still about 20k seats not sold still so I’m going 76k crowd

If the Bar/ Bistro area at the Corner Hotel is any guide, it’ll be a decent crowd tonight.

I thought Essendon were a sneaky chance

[locky801]

I thought Essendon were a sneaky chance

They looked alright for about 15 mins

Nope
We will be competitive in patches but I just don’t see us troubling too many sides.
Be nice if the coach gives the kids a good run at it rather than the sme old duds that let us down week after week
