3rd in the league for contested possessions, 3rd for contested marks and 4th for tackles. (With Brisbane and Geelong ahead on contested possessions having played an extra game)

Anyway ⌠think one player we will miss tonight is McGrath. His pressure and scrapping in conditions likely to be a bit slippery against a top side like Melbourne would be great to have on board. Sounds like heâs weeks away still.
Then again every single pundit didnât give Saints a prayer vs Tiges ⌠and look what happened there.

im not writing my comments as an EFC MEMBER/SUPPORTER, its my view they will drop off as there system is not going to stand up when the real heat is on. you watch they will be lucky to make top 4 from this position.
I think youâre wrong. Your comments to me seem like you havenât really watched them closely this year

In 2000 we were better than they were and we were better than we are now
I wish I could see what the doubters seem to about the Dees. Aside from one game (Collingwood) they have been excellent.
They have a great contested game and equally damaging ball movement to a quality forward line.
I love what Essendon is doing, but I just donât see our advantage in this contest.
Would be delighted to be proved wrong

Iâll be looking for Draper to take it up to Gawn. I would love Stringer to back up his game from last week. More signs from our younger playersâŚif Archie could put in a Rising Star performance great! Just donât think we win thisâŚbut more blue collar stuff please!
So youâre saying that Geelong & Brisbane have weak final plans also?
I reckon many donât really watch other games too closely.
Yes they are a good side. However if we bring our best gut running and pressure game, we have a chance. No one gave St. Kilda any chance of beating Richmond. Richmond could not get into the game and play their game because the Saints wouldnât let them.
Perhaps with luck on our side, we can do the same. Also the umpiring was confusing as always but in many ways, I thought favoured Richmond but it didnât matter. They simply couldnât control the game the way Richmond is famous for. They were completely off their game last night. Good on you St. Kilda.

I think this is the best time to play the top teams. Generally the bye period is where the top teams increase their training loads in preparation for finals and tend to be a bit flat for the games.
I didnât say you were.
I have already booked my flights to watch them at the mcg on gf day, with my dees supporting mates. So, yes I will be watching.
Lions vs Geelong GF
Do you know if the guys are training tomorrow and if so what time? Thx
