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".
The truth will set you free,
but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

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

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!
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

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

Fox started strong.
So we’ve lost already based on this shit.

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
I will never see #16 the same!!

Re: Western Bulldogs V Essendon - 1st Elimination Final 2021
So what do we need to do differently today to win compared to our last Bombers game?
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
