We will have a crack for 10 minutes but kick behinds
Hands up if youāre looking forward to this gameā¦
You are not wrong the Bulldogs lead the free kick ladder and no doubt will stretch that margin further today. So yeah just like last week, the week before and so on, weāll need to get used to hearing āFree Kickā¦ā¦insert opposition name hereā¦ā¦ā
Iām expecting more a half time score of WB 52 Ess 29 and some hope, but a three-quarter time score of WB 86 Ess 37.
How many whinges Nino have??
Reckon heāll have plenty of company today
Play on, advantage!
ā¦
All clear.
Really nervous about this one, young players really looking weary as the more experienced dogs starting to peak for finals
Itās official- weāre insane.

Giving the dogs a shot on goal in the square
The Bont will get 30 touches and 4 goals. and i might have gone a bit lid on with that prediction

In all honesty, I reckon Stringer will pay alot of attention to Bont at Centre Square bounces, and it will be a fascinating sub plot to this game.
Weāll kick a short 20m kick out of the backline only for it to be called not 15 play on and Bailey Smith will intercept and kick a goal. Rinse and repeat.
So just like every other match day thread then.
Itās not impossible that we will win, but itās extremely unlikely.
Halfway through the season I would have given us a real chance, but not now. Weāre undermanned, and the kids who are playing are tired. I donāt know whatās wrong with Tippa, but something is. Hind seems to have lost his dash. Shielās trying to find his way back but heās got a way to go.
The only way I can see us winning this is if Footscray for some reason have a very off day, and we on the other hand get some early goals and get our tails right up. But I doubt that either of those things will happen.
What Iād like to see is us continuing to have a real crack. Get the blue collar stuff going and keep it up. Make them earn every kick. Back each other up. Run, run, run.
I think weāll lose by about 40 points, sadly.
Im calling it now smith v smith or smith v hunter are going to be the main events.
Smith to get 2 weeks

The way our defensive zone holds up (or not) in this game will show as much as any, if weāve improved or just kidding ourselves.
Big high lollipops into the forward 50 to be either punched away or easily marked by a Bulldogs defender then cleared to their forward line for a goal - 12 point turnaround. Then rinse & repeat.
I swear feels like we are the only team who cops that
