Really need Sydney and North to lose this week, quite possible.
Can he actually be eligible? Don’t they need to have played some VFL games earlier in the year to be allowed to play finals? Or is that just a club cricket thing?
I’m really warming to us just beating Richmond.
We have more talent, just need to match their intensity.
As silly as it is to try to predict 36 games, I have us needing Sydney to beat Hawthorn.
To qualify he must play a VFL game, and must not play an AFL game.
So…Hird has put his cards on the table.
He has come out and said that Essendon can win the premiership if they make finals!!
He’s usually pretty realistic, if a bit more pessimistic. Pretty big statement.
Edit. Actually a bit more all in. He said if Essendon make finals, they WILL win the premiership.
I think we can.
We won’t of course, but we can.
Unfortunately Hirdy is a terrible tipster.
Pretty hollow prediction given the chances of us making the finals are bugger all
James pls
Let’s just beat Hawthorn
Lid off. We’re winning the premiership from 6th.
I’ve been to every losing MCG game this year and missed the win… been a lousy year at the 'G.
stay away this week
can you stop fkg going then?
IN HIRD WE TRUST (except when he tips us to win the premiership this year)
Yep don’t worry… I’m out of town for Hawks and Tiges… so it should be all sweet.
If we make the finals we’d have the best latter half of season form of any team. So we absolutely could do it.
Let’s just get there first though!
Norf winning farks us
I know it’s exciting to make finals but at the end of the day we will just be making up the numbers if we can’t beat richmond when we play them in a couple of weeks.
IMO.
