Are the two traditional powerhouse teams finally back for real, or are they just teasing their fans, again? The Blues play us next week, so I expect another top game, and the Dons are playing Richmond. Which Tigers team will show up I wonder. If the one that won 3 in a row shows up, the Dons will have their hands full.

Come on Bunyip Essendon will win against the Tigers because of one reason. The difference between last year and this year is our ability to win games that are 50/50 chances. We came home strong against Brisbane but I reckon we would have lost that game last year.

I agree, the Bombers should win. The Bombers look like a side that wants to play this season. Shows how important the right coach is.

Knights never allowed some players the chance to show themselves without being dropped after 1 week ::).

I've got to say the Tigers game will be a tough ask with our outs now. Watson and Hocking out for a little while will certainly hurt our inside midfielders :(. Wonder if we actually have anybody who are able to cover their roles. Lonergan can do Hocking role to a lesser extent but Watson just can't be replaced :(.

Keep a little faith Dom. Can't wait until we play Fremantle and Hawthorn :D

Going to the Dons vs Hawks game :P.

I've never given up hope that we'll win, just that it'll be more of a struggle than a 50+ point win :P.

I've found those games aren't as enjoyable as they were when we were... *cough crap because of knights cough*
