Essendon V Western Bulldogs R20, Friday 25/7/25 at Marvel Stadium at 7:20pm

[Bornadog]

I'm a little bit the same but I hope I enjoy it tonight. If we had banked another 8 points on the ladder I'd be rearing to go.

Not me, I hate Essendon and I hope we really give it to them.

Like all woofers I’d prefer to be in top 4 with a real shot at another GF. However I remember being bottom of ladder and a win was rare. You’d enjoy little things each week like seeing a young player bloom, or focus on a gun player strutting their stuff. So whilst we are putting struggling sides to the sword and still in with a faint chance I’m going to enjoy footy.

This week I’m really looking forward to Buss play and hope he cements his spot. And hopefully see Sanders return to good form. Then of course there’s Bont, Naughts, Darcy & Ed to enjoy. I reckon Timmy will perform well in his 150th too.

VDM is the sub.

Interesting choice.

[Bornadog]

VDM sub a strange one

[Aidan7557]

JJ forward?

[Bornadog]

I wonder if our fans will come out. I can understand if Bombres don’t

[Bornadog]

Not many here so far

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Well, we've seen this before.

I don't hate it. Especially against this mob

[Mantis]

Any chance at all that Sanders might try and kick the ball?

[Bornadog]

Lobb second ruck

[The Bulldogs Bite]

JOD turnover, then doesn't compete in the air.

I'm so very far from convinced on him.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Any chance at all that Sanders might try and kick the ball?

The thing that's bizarre is he actually is a neat kick. Not overly penetrating but effective. Needs to do it so much more.

Red time goal coming

[ledge]

Bahaha even the bombers get them against us

[The Bulldogs Bite]

It's uncanny how we find a way to cough up late goals. Is there a stat on it? Surely we're the worst (best?) at it.
