Haha BT:

"Jobe Watson averaging 29 possessions a game, which is 4th in the league, even after missing those games."

Knew you'd refer to 2008 GF.

Mate that was a long time ago. The teams are different. The coach is different ffs.

Move on.

Watch the games. The Hawks have given up 3-4 goal leads in three of the last four matches.

They cannot beat Geelong.



This bloke won't let them.
The rules re. rushed behinds are different too..

Sometimes life is good.

Like when your franchise beats each of Murphy and Jono's teams within a month.

Letting Sydney get that 3 goals in 3 minutes at the start of the 4th quarter after we hit the lead was so costly.

****'s sake. Such a good effort considering we had no key position defenders. Lost McGuane pre-game and Astbury at the start of the 1st quarter. Had to send ****ing Brad Miller to the backline :dry:

Feeling more and more confident as this game progresses.
presumably the coaches won't admit booting it into the forward without looking and when you've got a backman and a ruckman in there as the people supposed to be marking it is at best a flawed tactic and at worse a game winner for the other team, so yeah you should be confident.

You guys playing Gold Coast another two times or something? That's the only way you'd even have a chance.

You've beaten Gold Coast, Adelaide, Port Adelaide and an injury ridden Melbourne. You haven't exactly beaten anyone good yet. You have to do that to make finals.

lol at you using Melbourne's injuries as an excuse. Obviously have no idea what you're talking about considering our injury list at the time.

We'll finish higher than Richmond. Bookmark it.

That would give us 12 wins. 11 wins will have you on the verge of making finals, 12 will see you in.

Don't expect to win every single one of those, but no reason why we couldn't given our personnel due to come back into the team.

you expect to beat us but not the bye?


harsh but fair


Yeah Essendon are doing that so much. It's become very predictable.
It's been like that since ANZAC day. no doubt losing Dempsey and Winders hurt us but surely not to the extent that we now refuse to do anything but boot it forward. ****ing chip it around or something

Haven't included Hawthorn at Aurora and Blues in our potential victories despite winning the match ups last year.

Ryder has turned into a gumby. Thought he was going to have a real top year by the way he started.

we decided to play him forward


we then decided to drop bellchambers when ryder should have been dropped.
