Thanks SonofScray. Will do
No real wind to speak of a slight drizzle at the moment. Very dark overhead.

EW desperately wants to know if there’s still smoke?

Pouring rain in Melbourne, so hope it holds out a bit there.

Hopefully the boys can win today.

No predictions, and/or observations. At this stage what will be, will be.

I am reminded of the late Frank Gardner's mantra, "When the flag drops, the bulltish stops".

Bring on game time.

ps Frank was an Australian race car driver who made a living racing in Europe for some time in the 60's and 70's. He was a hired gun for any number of great teams. Valued for his practical no nonsense approach to the sport, and prone to build race cars with a spanner in one hand; and a rule book in the other. He was the master of the "unfair advantage".

Nice article through the lens of being a Dogs fan over the past month or so.

Well said Gigs.

He's been force feeding himself whilst watching yesterday's footage on a repeated loop.........

I really don’t rate Lions without Hipwood and McStay that highly, even at The Gabba. Whoever wins today, if you’re prelim worthy, I think you knock them off.

Yes the worlds are aligning really well for us once again. Super pumped and i know that the boys will be ready, we are a better side with the "backs to the wall"

Im positive this was Bevo's rational over the last month. It's everyone against us from here on in. Go Dogs!

[bornadog]

Even the Premier is behind us

[jeemak]

I reckon Dan's aged a bit these past couple..........

Me too over these past couple of games

Just win dogs.

[jeemak]

Yeah, the days have been ageing and lacking in gaiety that's for sure.

[bulldogtragic]

Fox started strong.

So we’ve lost already based on this shit.

[DOG GOD]

No rain at this point and very little wind. Wind sock hardly moving. Ground looks in great Nick.
Going by the crowd already here, expect 95% Essendon

[Dry Rot]

So what do we need to do differently today to win compared to our last Bombers game?

Kick straight and don't let them win the centre clearances
