Definitely not a given, but we'll win.
Hirdy will put in a blinder and the rest of the guys will be fired up, Sheeds will be right "on his game".
With a massive home crowd, the place is going to be electric. Can't wait.

*edit* minus Harves

I would rather buy broadband from Telstra. HAHA, quality!! :D Unfortunately, it all finds it's way back to the big T somehow. Seems they've got at least a finger in every pot. Surely the magazine will be somewhat incomplete without a record / pictures of their last game in Melb / last game ever? Ma...

You make a fair point rama_fan. Everyone else seems to have a press conference, why not Hirdy?

He is retiring though, whether we like it or not.
I guess the great man has made it public enough that he just doesn't need the PC, as Staggy pointed out.

I don't think there's too many people questioning Lloyd's output as such, more questioning the way he goes about it. The diving, pouting, arguing with umpires and overall 'soft' play is disappointing, especially as he's the captain. The last 2 weeks has seen him turn things around a bit. Let's hope...

Speaking of the crowd, one thing that I didn't expect was the age of the crowd. Being a nostalgic event, I thought it would mainly be people over 40, but there was a spread of all ages, including teenagers, little kids, young adults in their 20s , all decked out in the red and black. A sight to see...

Maybe Sheeds won't have a brain fart this weekend and will actually play Keps up forward. Here's hoping anyways.

My girlfriend will be happy - she likes him.

Good to see Sir James on again. I guess it's a given really.

Initial thoughts are: Saints - screws us, but we've had our chances. Kangaroos Fremantle Filth :roll: Adelaide - just to screw Brisbane. ;) Dawks - would like the Doggies to win to make things a bit more interesting, but the smart choice is the Dawks. Geelong - can't see them losing again in the H&a...

Kerr out. Injury clouds over Cousins and Judd. They have been named, but if they do play they're not going to be at 100%. Script couldn't be written any better for the Saints. If they can't win at home after beating the Toasters over there, something's wrong. ;) I'm over the maths. If Wet Toast wins...

I got my tickets the day I heard the report about Kevin. yeah same i got them that night after work... was only 1 ticket tek open till 9 in Brissy and i went straight for it lol I was going to but it took a couple of weeks to find out who wanted to go before I bought the tickets. So.. ended up with...

Does that mean he wasn't there?

My jaw dropped when I saw what they were doing on Sunday. It's going to be absolutely massive. No other coach/player combination would be deserving of a sendoff as big as this. To see them both go out together is nothing short of special. It's times like these I love supporting the Bombers. Only at ...

Absolutely. Mark of the year and goal of the year in the same game? Now that'd be cool.

On that note, has the same player won both mark and goal of the year in the same game?

Lloyd mark was disallowed due to Slattery having hands in the Carlton guy's back, i think. :roll: Typical. That is the difference between Essendon supporters and Carlton. I cannot imagine cheering for Essendon to lose. Me neither. Even if a priority pick was on the line, I still wouldn't want us to...

He may coach oneday, and I hope he does. Ditto. If the great man wants to coach, he will. It's understandable and totally appropriate for him to take a year or more off - especially if he was to coach at Essendon. (:evil: if he ever went elsewhere) I guess the reasons are pretty obvious both from a...

Just been watching the highlights video. I have a couple of questions for anyone else who has access to BomberTV I have found the "mark" I was talking about that Lloydy took - or appears not to have taken. Can someone tell me why it got taken it away? I've watched it over and over and can'...

There is simply NO incentive for them to win. They will also lose their last two games. Yep. Next week they'll just lose as they should against a better team. Will look like nothing. Although I'm hoping Melbourne tank so much that they somehow make Carlton win. I'm half tempted to tip Carlton. Will...

I think it should be retired for 1 year. Evaluate over the next year who will best continue the #5 legacy and then bring it back in 2009. Either that or let Sir James decide who gets his number. I reckon he'd be pretty good at judging who should get it. I reckon it'd be great if Winderlich got it. H...

Seriously? You think they planned it from the frist bounce to the aftermath on how to tank? "Ok boys, lets get a run on these guys, then slowly let them back in it. Now, you guys all know how to act when we lose right?" It does sound stupid, of course. But who really knows what goes on be...
