But seriously, we’ve had a lot of results go our way and we need to capitalise and start entrenching ourselves into the top 4

I’m sticking with my 112-67 Essendon win prediction.
Should be winning this one comfortably.

Landed in Melbourne with Miss Bull 11. She has never seen us win live. Hoping today changes that.

Full confidence in every area of the ground… except the forward line.
They really need to step it up in this game and coming weeks.

Would love an easy win, love it. But we’ll get a loss or a very tight unimpressive win.

Interstate side on a winters Sunday at Marvel.
I can feel the discomforted tension in the crowd already.

If supporter feeling filters down and translates to team performance… boy, we are in for a real doozy.

Level 3 GA is all bays except 25 and 26 which are reserved for Eagles members?
WTF.
Theyre not going to fill that.
What does this game get at the G. Early bounce, decent enough day. 50-55k?
Plenty of room on the top deck to inhale a lung lolly after O Allen dobs his seventh

By the numbers for scoring differential the last 5 weeks;
Scores from kick in: Eagles +5.2 (ranked #1), Essendon -2.0 (ranked #15).
Scores from stoppages: Essendon +1.0 (ranked #9), Eagles -21.4 (ranked #18)
Score from turnovers: Essendon +8.0 (ranked #6), Eagles -14.4 (ranked #15).
Totaling it all up from an Essendon perspective: -7.2+22.4+22.4= 37.6 point win to Essendon i.e. about a 6 goal win today would be par.
Whilst our ranking on each of the scoring sources is decidedly average, let me share one that shows we are Top 4 and is the heart of our recent two losses (no surprises): shots on Goal we are ranked #4 with +6.0. (Hawks, Lions, Swans are the Top 3, just ahead of us in that order). Eagles are ranked #16 with -4.8. That is a 10.8 shots on goal differential which, in normal circumstances, should equate to about a 6 goal win.
Our losses are purely around converting simple set shots on goal - and no team punishes an opponent for missing a goal, over the last 5 weeks, than the Eagles as the stats show.
Kick the goals we should kick and we should win well. Start missing them and the Eagles are a chance of causing a massive upset, even with Harley Reid and Tim Kelly missing from their midfield which weakens them significantly.

Convincing performance coming up.

Perfect weather, early afternoon, I reckon it would push 50k at the G.

You’d be surprised by how many fly over and have a weekend in Melbourne when the Eagles play here.
