Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Brisbanes forwards seem to have a harder edge than previous years.
Their defence during the year has improved out of sight.
If I was a nark I?d requote myself from a few weeks earlier picking Brisbane as my flag tip.
Win lose or draw tonight I still reckon they will be there on the last Saturday.

That is an exceptional return in an ordinary team. 61 Goals , plus 1 game remaining for the season.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
The football Gods are with Carlton. They can?t do any wrong at the moment. Even when they lose their nerve in the last two weeks, they get an umpire decision go there way last week and Gold Coast had every chance to steal that game and could not take their chance.
They are winning the close games. That?s the last two under a goal.
They are the anti Bulldogs. Taking their chances.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Just finished watching the Carlton game on delay. Felt like the bad guy killed the good guy and there was no happy ending. It?s also robbed us of the drama of them needing to beat a hot GWS next week to make finals.
Was super mad, but turning over to the Essendon game live to see them 45-6 down at quarter time brought back the sunshine a little haha

Very good player. Had a strong season in a struggling side.

Seems to be going their way at the moment.

It is still up to us.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
I love what Essendon has given us the last 20 years , may Dodoro continue his reign for many years to come .
Dunkley owes us bigtime !

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
I’m currently on a beach in the subcontinent but logging on purely to say the words suck shit Essington.
Four wins gift wrapped for them in the second half of the season and they STILL can’t fall arse first into finals.

If they beat Carlton, we must beat Geelong to make it

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Gee whiz, if that went a few more minutes GWS could have overtaken our %

Glad our game is before it. We aren’t beating Geel Bornadog.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Best tweet ever .. Essendon treating the game like a final.
-
Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
That’s a a coach killer.
I know we are all getting emotional by losing games by under a goal. But we are still in games. Losing by 126 points when you are playing for a finals place when you have not won a final in 20 years.
Gee whiz. That’s painful.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Essendon is like the Russian T90 tank.
Lots of hot air, great claims, its the best in the world etc before the war started.
But in combat they are an easy kill, they easily explode and the turret blows off, killing the crew.
Just like the Bombers.

Isn?t that what BAD is saying? GWS will be ahead of us on points if they beat Carlton and we lose to Geelong.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
If Melbourne lose the next two and Carlton win next week, Melbourne drop to 5th

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Melb will tank against swans so they finish 4th and play Coll at the G

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Saints not doing us any favours , should be around 6 goals up .
Hopefully Geelong don’t get a run going.

A lot of inside 50’s for no result. I feel like I’m watching the dogs.

I thought same , only to let the opposition in .
I think Adelaide have checked out, not as bad as the bombers though.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2023
Well done to the saints who will finish the job. We would have botched it.
It's us or gws for the final spot. Carlton may well get some revenge on us for last season.
