If we lose I’m blaming it on you.

Geez if the ball is coming in frequently good luck north Melbourne! That foward line has some serious height and marking power in it. What a blend of height, speed and aerial strength
Please…enough of this ‘whole world is against essendon’ bullshit

Sam Newman on the footy show tipped us, followed by “best side in the league at the moment”. Kind of nice to hear these comments about the team.

So the comeback game vs North was played 22 July 2001
We play North this weekend on 22 July 2017
An omen, the comeback game was the beginning of the end. Will this game be the beginning of the next era?
Essendon to kick 30, JoeD to kick 10.

Wait, to break the omen, wouldn’t we have to be up by 60 odd points and lose, to restore the balance ?

I prefer the version where instead of winning by 12 points after being behind by 69 points midway through the second quarter, we win by 69 points after being 12 points behind midway through the second quarter.

If we are 12 points behind midway through the second quarter then Essington’s VFL team has come to play, let alone Essington, and we are not going to win.
We should be +40 points up by then if all things are fair and equal.
Sorry @domaura I have fixed it now, but I mucked up the quote. Just saying that was preferable to @darkknightpheonix 's scenario.
I would be hoping we win each quarter by a minimum of 3 goals, but in truth I would very much settle for the 69 point win however we get it.

Most of our wins have been built on bursts of about 10 to 20 minutes of irresistible football.
- first 10 minutes of 2nd quarter v WC
- 10 minutes of first quarter v port
- about 10 minutes either side of the half v saints.
- several 5 minute bursts on Anzac Day
- about 20 minutes in the first quarter v cats
- first 10 minutes last quarter v Hawks
- 10 minutes in the second v lions Rd 2
- about 10 minutes in the first against the pies a fortnight ago and the first 5 minutes of the last.
There was a petty solid half an hour against Sydney where they just couldn’t touch us.
That isn’t to say we didn’t play good footy at other times just that we built match winning leads in short bursts.
I’d like to think we can give norf a solid 40 minutes blast of our best.
