Round 2 Essendon v Melbourne Saturday 2nd April 2:10 - MCG

[LF]

The Dees had a fantastic 2 points win over GWS on the weekend and will be looking to go 2-0 for a great start to the season,Bombers suffered a big loss to Gold Coast and would need to improve a lot to take the win here.

[Bill Manspeaker]

As I said in the Melbourne section:

I'm terrified of losing this match.

I'm horrified at the confidence of winning this match from the Demonlanders, the media and dare I say, the players themselves.

Time and time again, in these sort of matches where we are expected to win, we implode to that expectation and try our hardest to lose (by over-trying).

If anything, I've confident of that. I'm tipping (tentatively) about a 3 goal win, where we do most of the damage in the last quarter. Similar to the NAB game against the VFL Western Bulldogs.

Very, very terrified about this game.

Remember that quote during the game, I bet you'll find it to be quite relevant  :-\

[Bones Bombers]

No late changes for this game.
Got a few in this game from both teams.
Hoping its at least a close game and my Bomber boys can start to gel as a team.

[Mat0369]

The Dees haven't won consecutive games since 2011. If they don't win today they will never do it

[Bill Manspeaker]

traded Tippa. watch him ton up

[Gigantor]

Wow what a goal from Brayshaw

[kilbluff1985]

<<<<<<< my boy on fire

[Purple 77]

Melbourne playing like poo... like I predicted  :-\

[fanTCfool]

Gawn not exactly dominating as some had predicted
At least Dea is finally building a score, hooray!  ;D
Looks like I'll need to bring in Hartley too, should have kept him in over Brown R1

[Bill Manspeaker]

how was that holding the ball... he just got the thing

[Mat0369]

That was a perfect tackle by Garland.

[Mat0369]

That was a ripping kick from Hartley to kick the goal.
