Is we dont win by more than 40 points, we dont deserve to play finals. They are decimated.
P.S I still think davey will have 5 disposals

I hate games where absolutely everyone picks us to win. Plus there’s been another brown-nosey article in the Age today.
Richmond will be up for this one. We’ll win if we play hard. We won’t if we don’t.

Picture the scene, Caddy has kicked 5 goals already in front of a sold out MCG…all from big grabs and one a dribbler from 45m on the boundary. The crowd is baying for goal number 6, inside the last minute Merrett storms through the middle and kicks it high to a pack deep forward where Caddy kamikazees through with a huge grab, splitting the pack clean in half, he then goes back and nails the goal with ease, and dabs his imaginary cap to the crowd. With that goal, the margin is cut back to 9 points as the siren sounds seconds later. Richmond win their second game of the year, after they’d retained a huge lead for most the game until a few late goals helps Essington save face. Bombers tout it as a metaphorical win after being down to two players on the bench with calf injuries, and by managing to keep it respectable the clappers are creaming, spouting the bright future ahead and that a loss was inevitable sooner or later, no shakas, and with Parish back we’ll be back to premiership favourites next year. Dusty Martin wins the Medal for BOG after a 3 goal performance. Essington go on to lose 8 of the next 10, with Caddy dropped for Shiel a few weeks later. Kelly named most improved and Davey most courageous. Absolute Essington scenes.

Over the past 20 years, so many of those events resemble something that actually happened.

If we rock up and play like we did against the Rattlers we will still win by 60, if we actually decide to stay switched on all game it could well be over 100.
Even when we have been semi good over the years we don’t often take the stick to opponents, I’d love to see this change.
We owe this toilet of a club for what they have inflicted on us for a long time, time to get it back in spades

Way more confident on this one than Gorth.
Dons by around 10 goals.

I’d love for this game to become the one that kick starts and signals a long sustained period of success, just like what happened with Geelong when they smashed the Tiges in 2007 by 157 points at Docklands.
We won’t have a better opportunity to destroy a team than with the state that they’re in right now.
Dons by an unconvincing 47 points tonight.

we weather the initial pressure from Richmond and control the game on our terms
we deal with a few minor (attempted) comebacks from Richmond and then midway through the third quarter we shut them down completely and go on to notch up a big win
that’s what I’d like to see
and an impressive 3 goal debut from Caddy

I want someone to do what Reimers did to Josh toy circa 2012.

If we lose it’s going to be by the clearance domination of the Tiges - followed by their speed at groundwork. I’m picturing them running rings around our defenders once the ball hits the deck.
- Nankervis 18 disposals and 38 hit outs.
- Bolton to kick 3/4
- Dusty a strong 2 goal + 20 disposal game
- Rioli to lead metres gained
- One of Sonsie, Steely Green or Campbell for them to kick 2+.
Nothing surer
14 point grinding win coming up
More hair falling out and liver damage

You think he will improve his output by 500%?
If we don’t win by 7 or more goals we will play finals but lose either straight sets or elimination
You’re right. Now I think about it, performance in Rd 11 is a great predictor of how we might play in 14 weeks time.

A friend and I had dinner with Simon the night before and he said he would kick 10…

Not really sure if we are capable of putting much more than 100 points on against any opposition, but I think we can restrict Richmond at the other end.
My tips a fairly close game.
Absolutely beautiful day (for late May) for it.
Probably be a bit dewy tonight so may not make for the best/cleanest spectacle.
