Someone else get some balls and bet against Geelong. It'll be worth it, honestly.

Terrible effort really from the Doggies. Dodged a bullet and one can only hope they don't put up a ****house display like that against Richmond next week.
On a lighter note, 4-0 is a brilliant start with Richmond and West Coast to come. That being said, lady luck smiled upon us tonight - let the Dons back into the game after quarter time with a total lack of intensity.

What's going on down at Windy Hill Mike? You're dropping like flies to soft tissue injuries. Tell them to toughen up.
I live in Essendon, I may pay Matty Knights (Richmond legend
) a visit at Windy Hill and tell him the running game he wants to implement ain't going to work if their team can't last 4 rounds of it.

Tell me about it ffs, we've just about got more injured than fit players. Ridiculous stuff really...What's going on down at Windy Hill Mike? You're dropping like flies to soft tissue injuries. Tell them to toughen up.

Proud of my boys tonight, Still love my Paddy.
Anyone reckon if we get some of our players back that we can make the 8?

Hmm, I think you are a decent team this season, but more that annoying team to the opposition that can, and often will, be competitive against any team (wherever they are on the ladder, similar to last year), but often go missing in crucial parts of games that costs you the win.
The top 8 isn't exactly out of the question, but I think you'll drop off later in the season due to fatigue and too many youngsters. Knights' strategy will be fully seen in 2010 I reckon.
You're definitely showing signs though, which sucks because I hate you guys with a passion

I was mildly gutted; scored 1900-odd & moved up 9,000 places overall but still dropped further back from your team.
Anyway, what happened to Essendon? They just stop playing 4th quarter?

They had injuries throughout the game. Ended up only having 21-22 players fit with 20 mins to go, and are already and young and inexperienced team who spent all their energy coming back into the contest. Had nothing left.
All Essendon had to do IMO was score the first goal of the last quarter and things would have been different. They were on top for the first 5 mins of the quarter and then just died.

Mcveigh's was the loss that hurt, he was brilliant as he has been all year. Was probably the form player of the opening month and dare i say it if he had of been fit to play the last could've had 9 brownlow votes already.
Lonergan and Mcveigh did hammys whilst Winderlich, Hille and Fletcher were clearly suffering from injuries.
Just watching the replay i think i underrated Fletcher's game massively. He was just quite awesome. Probably one of the best games he's played and thats saying something.

if we don't win today we're stuffed...off to the mcg in a bit. North by 50 i reckon

**** McVeigh is a gun. My Essendon scum best friend has been telling me for years that he's a star, and though I've always known he was very good on his day (I was right behind him when he took his famous 'hands in the back' speccie vs. Carlton last year, so awesome) I've only just realised how vital a player he is.
Losing him will hurt. If Lloyd doesn't come up next week, and with no Lucas and McVeigh, you guys are stuffed.

Gotta agree with that... Mcveigh was good last year but has just taken his game to another level, something i didn't even think he could do.
Hopefully Lloyd comes up well, we'll most likely get back Welsh and Monfries which will help our forward line a bit but ouir midfield will get smashed vs Hayes, Ball etc. Only hope is that we run there one paced midfield off there feet. On the bright side we should get Dempsey and Jetta back soon along with our top draft pick in Myers.
Enough about Essendon, Geelong vs Saints should be a cracker.

McVeigh's been a star, but he wouldn't have gotten 3 votes for the game vs. the Cats.

Great tipping V. This game was last night and Essendon duly lost.
I've tipped for the weekend:
Essendon Vs. Bulldogs
St. Kilda Vs. Geelong
North Melbourne Vs. Melbourne
Sydney Vs. West Coast
Port Adelaide Vs. Brisbane
Hawthorn Vs. Adelaide
Carlton Vs. Collingwood
Fremantle Vs. Richmond
The one outsider I've gone for this week is the Lions. Port are looking woeful at the moment and the unfancied Lions could well turn them over. I also think Richmond won't get totally thumped by Freo.
