Match Day Thread - Round 12, Essendon v North Melbourne , Sun June 4 2023 @ Marvel

Need to win these games if we’re going to capitalise on our improvements.
To see West Coast push Collingwood, yesterday was interesting - a bit of perspective.
Can jump to legitimate 6th with a win today. Please get it done Essendon.

We’re returning from Perth and they are long overdue to pinch one against us, 15 years of being conditioned to drop a game like this doesn’t fill me with confidence.

Confident that Scott will get the side focused for this game, he won’t want to lose to the side that gave him the flick.

With an eight day break I don’t returning from Perth is relevant

Are we expecting:

  • Late change - Phillips in, Hind Sub
  • No change
  • A different late change

Voss not an emergency

Will be Phillips for someone who’s got an issue, possibly Perkins as was in rehab group at main training.

Or Shiel may not have been able to feel like/prove he is 100%

He’s a little more lid off than me.
I’m more 40+.
Ten point improvement each quarter. Again.

You may be right.
Im a little more circumspect in declaring a margin.

I feel they will give us some trouble in periods of the game.
20-30 will do just fine.

Just have to bank the points.
And we will.

Surely Flip comes in for Perkins/Hind/Heppell - whoever is being rested/managed…

While I will be happy with a 20 point win. In reality, it’s time the EFC was ruthless and absolutely pumps the rattlers to give us a handy percentage boost for finals footy.

A Stringer mung-torp on the run from 55 to win it on the siren will do me.

1 X 81 point mauling coming up!

I understand that, but I don’t think we’re there yet.
That sort of thing comes from flashy play that doesn’t stand up, or it comes from a significant period of earned confidence.
Of knowing you’re better.
Of feeling safe to do the over the shoulder handball and snap from the boundary thirty metres out, because you trust each other and even if it doesn’t come off, it’s still gonna be okay.

Collingwood are there.
Melbourne were So there two years ago.
We’re not. But I believe we will be.

4.40?
