Where will Essendon finish in 2012?

[yangers95]

Personally, even though North and Freo will be geniune contenders for the 8, and the likes of Richmond and Melbourne nipping on our heels i still think we can make the 8, don't thing we can win a finals game quite yet but our best is actually quite good. If we can play consistently i think we should squeeze in. Like everyone says, Essendon's only true elite top tier player is Watson, but we have good depth IMO. Hopefully enough to see us into September.

Sure does Jukes!

Rate Howlett and Hocking highly. Good team players.

Not to mention Melksham is the second coming.

Sid... Can I just say, that your little display picture completely, and still continues to, mindflower me every time I see it.
It's a wonderful little gem and I decided I really like you for having shown it to me  ;D

Kinda regret this as I am proud of my cheer/boo ratio but...

I don't think the Bombers will crack the top 6 until they get someone to kick their goals. They can't have Hurley at CHB and CHF...

Won't need him at CHB if Hooker, Pears etc can stay fit... Carlisle played mainly back last year but moved forward late and him & Hurley will be a good combo.

This is Hurley remember. He can do anything :P.
But I agree with Boomz.

I can't remember which came first, the Z or the X :-\

Well maybe you could tell me which came first out of these; the chicken or the egg? :P

Surely by now you know the answer? It was the Rooster!!!

Just pointing out that Essendon are the first team in VFL-AFL history to be 18th on a ladder.

This is not the ladder, we haven't began the season yet... The real ladder doesn't count until Rd 1 :)

If you want to start down that track, then the Bombers won the first AFL premiership too :P

[Ziplock]

no, bombers were the first team on top of the ladder for afl.

Premiership is determined by finals series :P

I think it's legit.


bombers suck :P

[Fletch74]

No, we also won the Pre-season premiership in 1990, so there :P

Said a ladder, not the ladder ;)

And I wouldn't want to be talking about 1990 Fletch!

Neither would I, but if one can be pedantic, so can another ;)
