I don’t care how we win, just fcking win.

Eagles will provide a stiff challenge over there. McGovern is good form, Yeo back to career best form, Reid in the midfield, Waterman in career best form plus Darling can still play. Petrucelle too is playing well and Cripps can still kick a few.

I said the same in an earlier post.

Quick statistical preview of the game based on scoring source differentials over the last 5 weeks.

Kick-ins :

  • Eagles +2.2 (3rd)
  • Essendon -0.2 (12th) => We are 2.4 points/game worse off

Stoppages:

  • Eagles -1.8 (13th)
  • Essendon +5.6 (6th) => We are 7.4 points/game better off

Turnovers:

  • Eagles -13.0 (16th)
  • Essendon -12.0 (15th) => We are 1.0 points/game better off

Defensive Half:

  • Eagles -14.2 (17th)
  • Essendon -5.6 (11th) => We are 8.6 points/game better off

In total, we better 14.6 points/game better on scoring differential - and our biggest advantage isn’t scoring from Stoppages but scoring from Defensive Half.

Over the last 5 weeks we are about a 2-3 goal better team. And it’s on their home ground where they are they are a demonstrably better side.

It will be a tight game but we should get over the line.

What is he doing over there? Is this club serious?

He’s a travelling emergency. There is no VFL. Odds are he won’t be needed.

I’m sure Hayes is fine with not having to fly an eight hour round trip just to have a quick kick on a Friday arvo.

Yes. No real
Margin for error. A huge match for us. It is not right that this is our fourth interstate game in first eight.

It’s like that guy from the movie Office Space. Everyone thought he left, but a computer glitch meant he kept getting paid.
They just need to fix the glitch.

Fair to say last 5 rounds of last year we were playing like a wooden spoon team.

The social media team at the club has really been poor over the last few years we were regarded as one of the best

Been crap since Rodski left

Yea, I only remember it because I had a mate nicknamed Blonkey
