This was a little bit interesting.
Didnât see this here.
Might have missed it.
AnywayâŚ
Kinda funny.
Hurley will probably match up on Riewoldt.
We need to stop their marking chains out of defence.
Their forward line?
âWell, theyâre really good tall and really good small and they put a lot of pressure on in their forward-line, soâŚummmmâŚanyway, that about wraps it upâŚâ
Essendon are a very talented team and shade Richmond in this area. Tonightâs outcome is dependent on intent. Whoever wants it more will win. I anticipate Essendon to be more hungry than their opponents. Go Bombers!
I think it was ivan who said that they only have one good key pillar at each end of the ground.
Certainly in the forward line I agree but I rate Astbury as a key defender. Has been playing good footy for a while now.
They are an emotional team. They play on emotion. If we can snuff that out early and also the crowd. We will go a long way to winning.
Cannot give them a sniff at any point.
In shawâs analysis he points out Astbury as having conceded 24 goals. Not sure thatâs so great.
They have tall players, and small players. Joe Daniher is a tall player, but so is Cale Hooker.
In case no one has replied yet - our cheer squad sit in the city end against Richmond - Ponsford stand.
Grog squad is usually behind the opposition cheer squadâŚ
Richmond by 25 points. Both teams have allot to play for but Richmond will be in major â â â â if they drop tonight. Recon we are tracking nicely regardless of wins/losses and will overtake them soon.
Iâm a confessed Lid-on type and probably will be until the club plays and wins in finals. But I am optimistic that this could become a finals winning team if they can bring the mental edge to win games like tonight vs Richmond. If we are closer than further to being legit, then we win tonight. I acknowledge that one win doesnât make a season, but I canât help feeling like tonightâs game is a defining moment that will tell us which side of the âcloser than furtherâ point we are at.
GS will be in the southern stand as per normal, however the Mensa group that is the Richmond GS take the normal spot so we move over a few bays.
Bring the riot shields.
On the off chance I get down to the GS to the GS tonight Iâve had my rabies shot.
They donât sound very positive to me. At all. More concerned.
"The Tigers have dried up in front of goal. They have kicked 10, 10, 11 and 10. "
That just isnât enough to beat us imo
Usually I get more bullish the closer to first bounce. But not today. Freaking out about the return of bad habits. Canât be Essendon three weeks running ⌠can we?
He gets injured for 8 weeks and hes prices drops from 1.2 mill to 800k!!!
Iâm nervous about today. But then again I was nervous 55pts up at half time against WC.
I know what we capable of producing of now. If we bring our best we win easily. If we donât a frustrating night will be had.
Should be a ripping contest all the same.
