With this team, a win hurts us long term
Play the kids and we win- then you have something worth celebrating and it helps the club moving forward( that’s the reason I was so pumped after the swans game)

Essendon supporters driven to drink given their sides unpredictable performances. Lets see if I can last watching more than a half this week. Gotta get up at 5am tomorrow, so will be tough if wait up and watch after game and press conference if win.

Could be the kind of game perkins tears us a new 1.
Yup good ole Copperfield.
not a lot different kid wise to bin chickens game
Clarke for Day-Wicks = Debut
Guelfi (27) for El_Hawli (24)
Laverde (29) for Hayes (20) (But he’s done acl, so would be playing if not for injury).
Gresham(27) for Shiel (32)

So barring any late changes, tonight will be wet, territory battle, where getting the footy moving your way will be key.
With that in mind, Brad has a top 5 pick a kid that he wanted, who is a clearence beast but is not willing to play him against an equally young team in the competition and we are meant to be resetting as a club.
It is truly mind boggling. It’s indefensible.

He likes his teams to be as anglo as possible, his brothers teams are the same, must be the old st Kevin’s in them, probably didn’t meet a multicultural person till the early 2000s

Willie, I love how much you care, but I think we get it! 
I’m not disagreeing with you btw.
I’m sorry but I’m absolutely staggered. I’ll give it a rest.

All good mate, if you can vent about the Bombers on Blitz, where can you.
And you forgot to add in the entire AFL midfield was belted last week and Tsatas had 40 in his last VFL match.

Hey WD, serious question.
Do you have inside knowledge on the Brad wanted Tsatas stuff? I’ve seen it repeated here by many posters. I’m just wondering if that one is a blitz rumour or one you actually have inside knowledge on.
Yeah, have to agree, if you’re not playing Tsatas tonight then when are you ever playing him? Can only imagine that he refuses to apply himself defensively and this really annoys the coaching staff?
Love your commitment
We are playing 2 less kids than we played against Sydney? It’s really not that much different is it? We played Day-Wicks, Hayes and Saad that day. Tonight we have Clarke.

will make watching VfL interesting if Parish and Tsatas are running about.

Then I totally agree with you. It’s very bizarre the treatment Tsatas is getting in that context.
First half looks pretty wet. Should hopefully clear for the second half.
