Tony, you forgot to mention the 6 day break from Perth too - odds are not in our favour.

Here's some possibilities.
* Sheedy/Hird might be able to rev them up about years gone by.
* Bombers step up against better sides
* Bombers might come out angrypants after the new WADA saga.
* There's going to be a laser show during pre-match. With sharks that have fricken laser beams coming out of their heads?
* North smell.
* It's indoors, so don't have to worry about a wet-weather gameplan.
* Carlisle & Daniher can only get better.

I think this whole WADA bullshit will be the straw that broke the camel's back

Expecting a dispirited effort and who could blame them.

We were shit anyway but I really feel for the players having to now pull themselves together to face more uncertainty and intrusion into their lives.

We may have been resilient in the past with all this crap going on. Now, I reckon the players will be thinking "get me outta here and get me out fast"

North by 75 points

Yes, it will be interesting to see how the players respond. Lord knows they have been incredibly brave thus far.

We are not as shit as we have looked over the last couple of weeks. I think the no 1 message for tonight's game will be take some calculated risks. If we give our forwards half of a sniff we will win this.

All true! (except I don't know of this Lord character).

I hope tonight will be season defining and put us back on track.

I suspect it may very well be season defining in the other direction though.

McKernan looks a player

Great first qtr

Hopeless.

Could the f****** maggots do a better job of completely ass raping us

Free kicks 11 to 6

But then you can add not paying McKernan his mark.

f****** Maggots


Reckon we are still a chance coz the f****** umps will have to put away the whistle after that first half performance

What a frustrating football teAm we are
Playing half decent and give up soft goals with dumb ass decision making.

Missing assumes he was once around

Stanton needs a rest for a couple of weeks

We have about 9 players who are passengers.

f*** off!!!!!

f*** off you head ducking cheats.
f*** off Scott you c*** who won premierships on juice at half time in gf at Brisbane
f*** off you yellow maggots who are on the take - dead set paki bookmakers bitches

Was that the Perth Umps tonight?? Pretty wild
Boys tried hard but decision making let them down, hopefully it will click back on soon

Disgusted

f****** umps blew us away in the first half then our highly fragile mentality as a team conspired to produce vintage Essendon Panic Ball

Would have lost by 6 goals had they kicked straight

Heppell, Hurley and Watson were lions tonight

They'll be peptide testing Hurls for sure, he was a unit. I'm not devo with our game, but I am pissed at the umpiring. Umps had the chance to put the whistle away and let a good solid physical contest occur but then shat all over that by giving the free against Bags for laying a very acceptable bump.

Saw about 10 minutes of exciting play in the first and third quarters. The rest wss just hopeless desperation. Sad. Just lucky they couldn't kick.
