Been fearing it for weeks.
I’m normally pretty positive going into games, fear essington no more than a normal blitz poster.
But this fixture has let me down time and time again. We’ve won about 3 of these in the last 12 years and most of the losses are well beyond peak essington. Infact the only loss that wasn’t was getting dicked by Blair in the last min.
Replace Wells with De Goey and it’s very believable.
If it was Wells, he’d be clutching for his calf after 3 steps.
Watch De Goey come in and play like a man possessed.
that’s why need Francis in - to give us that dynamic X Factor, especially in the midfield in bursts.
None of us are actually barracking for the opposition, we’re just stating what we think will happen
They’re about as interesting as dream stories IMO
De Goey still has two more weeks to serve of his club impossed AFL suspension. He won’t be in.
Don’t rule it out.
Buckley categorically ruled it out on the record today.
Pfft, what would he know?
Bahaha
Wells a definite in and Big Cox a maybe according to FIGJAM
McNiece upgraded, so looks a certainty to be picked
ENTER THE PEG
Squad isn’t released until Saturday according to the article on McNiece’s elevation on the EFC website. Can’t believe we have to wait until then

Its 5 days away so anything can happen. I hope its a fast deck!
I really hope the whole club has sat down and watched the tape from last year’s game. I hope Woosha has watched it 5 times.
Over and over and over again, like farking spoiled kids.
