I really hope we carry this momentum into next year and beyond. the Essendon of the last 5 weeks is the Essendon I want
Lid-offers say:
-Team is finally getting settled
-Still got Zaka, Joey, Darcy to return
-Weāre getting momentum
-'Pies have won too many, due for a loss
Done.
Why rest players when they have a week off the following week?
They donāt have the week off. They play the Bulldogs after us
If we beat the the Pies,Gc,Freo the lid will vanish
Sorry, I meant they have a bye after round 23. Why rest players against us, play against dogs, rest on bye, play first final, rest second week. No continuity, it will stuff them up
I was thinking Port may rest some of their players for the last game of the season. I think theyāll be in a solid position by that time!
Is there a bye between last rd and finals still?
If so donāt think any resting will be happening. 2wks no match fitness they wonāt want.
Thatās what Iām saying
I donāt think the Tigers will rest anyone Rd.22 for the reasons mentioned, but it may be an opportune time to get them if they do have a large break on the side 3rd on the Ladder (which I expect they will).
If they are even slightly off with an eye to Finals, and we are playing for our lives for a chance of September action, it might be enough !
Thatās what I thought but Adelaide did this during last yearsā round 23 game against West Coast (particularly Walker and Talia).
Welcome back, lid ā ā ā ā ā ā ā off!
I told ya:
Francis first year 0% win record.
Francis second year 50% win record.
Francis third year 100% win record.
He shall take us to the Promised Land.
Weāve got the list and they are responding to the coaching. Window is opening.
Bump
This should be stickied to the St. Essingtons threadā¦
Ha! Are you saying heās only playing 1 game for the year or any number of games between 1-8!?
No, he should play 9 games this year. Last week, four more, and four finals.
If they drop him for the Grand Final and we loseā¦
