Essendon v Geelong Pre-Game / Match Thread
Feeling pretty good about tomorrow night that we will get the job done. I still haven't lost my respect for Geelong as a team but they are slowly fading from the great team they once were. Crameri will be a big in, just hope he is fit and firing tomorrow night. Interesting to see how Gumby and Crameri work together in the forward line for the first time in a proper AFL match. The key will be the first quarters, Geelong are not the best this year at first quarters, and we have the ability to pile on the goals quickly. If it's scrappy and tight early on and we've missed a lot of gettable shots at goal, I will be very worried for the rest of the game.
Thoughts and predictions?
I think our run will be get us over the line, in a dog fight or a decent 4-6 goal win.

we won last time with waston and nlm not playing. This time NLM is playing could be the difference.

I reckon we will lose.
Geelong have the blow torch on them and have plenty to prove for a lot of reasons.
Can see us being 1.7.13 at quarter time and have zero confidence for the rest of the game

So you reckon NLM will be Super Sub and then blitz them just after half time? It could happen.gumbyisback wrote:we won last time with waston and nlm not playing. This time NLM is playing could be the difference.

I told him that after last week, but he obviously ignored me. Which is probably a sensible thing to do.rockhole wrote:More "faith" needed BD!!bomberdonnie wrote:I reckon we will lose.

Baguley on Johnson?
IIRC last year Pig played on him and apart from several minutes of umpire love, Johnson didn't do a lot.

About to head off to the 'Dome.
Given up forecasting after Dees and Saints so just hoping.
Massive ramifications for our final position. Most calcs see us at fouth if we win and a couple clear of the pack.
