Yep, I'm talking about next week's game between Essendon v North Melbourne.

Is there a bigger game for North this season? Depending on other results, a win could put us as high as 6th, a loss could put us in 9th.

This is a game we can't afford to lose if North wishes to play finals this year. I'm definitely going, it should be an epic contest!

GO ROOS!

roo boys!

Absolutely HUGE! North vs Bombers have always seemed to be close recently and this is likely to be no exception. If we win, finals are almost guaranteed and Essendon may miss them! That's the dream, isn't it? :P

I'll also be there, been to all our games in Melbourne except for when we played Carlton (was interstate) and we have been so great to watch live this year.

Fletcher, Stanton, Monfries, Hibberd etc who will play next week Bombers fans? If Fletcher is out, look out for Petrie to go big!

Already looking to the week after with collingwood, not too worried about a team that has only won 3 of its last 9.

I'm just hoping that its not another after-the-siren kick....unless its Petrie dead in front.

I'd be more than happy for Petrie, Boomer or Harper to take it :P

If I were you I think North smashing Essendon would be the best outcome, because they have a tougher run home than us and you could move above them if they lose. North and Freo in the finals, yeah baby! ;)

Crameri, Hibberd, Monfries meant to be available this week, Fletch likely, Ryder "tempting fate" to play this week & no flowering update on Stanton, Myers or Reimers. So basically none of them will play and we'll get 2 more injuries by Thursday.

On a less pissed off note... Winders might be out for the year ( :( ) which could mean we upgrade Lee who has been dominating in the VFL all season. He'd be in for Howlett.

either way if North smash the Bombers Freo still have to beat North in the last round to win but with a draw we dont need the result against Adelaide to make it
