Listen, I’m as scarred as any Essendon supporter who has lived through the last 20 years but seriously, Fremantle?

They are as innocuous a club as is possible. I’d love someone to tell me what their main weapons are. Contested ball, fast movement, inside 50 scoring efficiency??. They simply don’t seem to have any real strength so it’s hardly surprising that they are hovering around the 10-14 mark.

This is one of those team defining games that will help frank our improvement this year. It’s a game we should win and now need to go out and do exactly that. Methodically, professionally and with a real sense of purpose.

Of course we can also lose and perhaps in previous years a wounded Fremantle would have dined out on our brittle mentality and non existent game plan. Not this year I say. No, this year we are made of sterner stuff and I expect us to prevail in a dour, tight battle.

If you’re as scarred as anyone from the last 20 years as you proclaim, you’d know it’s weeks like this, where supporters say exactly what you have, is when peak essington generally rolls out.

it’s when people start acting like cocky arrogant carlton suppoters that the footy gods send a timely reminder as to why supporters shouldn’t get to ahead of themselves.

i hope you’re right, but geez when will people learn to just not tempt fate …
