Round 8 - Lions v Bombers - Saturday May 10th - Gabba

[Noz]

Damn. Jobe goes huge and Polec has a quiet one. Polec to Jobe is going to cost me a little extra now. Ah well, still cheap in the scheme of things

Polec still had a price rise 10k in SC whilst Watsons breakeven was 110 so he might only go up 15k as well.

[RaisyDaisy]

Yeah I know, but if they met their projections Polec would have gone up over 30k and Jobe would have dropped a few k, making the upgrade only 50k, but now it will prob cost about 75k or so, which is still fine (and a bargain)

Back from the game and while umpiring was not good went both ways so will not complain. 

There will probably be a few incidents out of this match that the MRP may look at but they are inconsistent as we know. Chapman may have a holiday and if the MRP are to be consistent then whoever shoved Green into the fence possibly Dempsey, (happened on the other side of the ground to me) should go for 2 weeks and remember Rich coped 2 weeks for it at same ground.  Maguire is also in trouble and will more than likely go for a week as well.

Really proud of the ways the boys played today fighting it out and not really letting scoreboard get away in Red Zone this week. (Essendon did score 2 goals though in red time).

Feel Leppa should have moved some one to Heppell as he was giving a lot of drive.

Sorry Essendon supporters buit looking at Bombers today do not think they are Top 8 material when compared to other teams.

[kilbluff1985]

Obviously we don't look top 8 material not arguing with you on that

[Vinny]

Bye Bye Essendon Top 4 prediction. :'(

[Ricochet]

Brought in Ambrose for Taylor this week :(

Brought in Watson for Crouch :)

Put the VC on Watson :D

We are not top 8 material. Brisbane did get a goal from a free kick (Raines in the third term) when the free kick was not there, Green's goal in the third term when Brown was a metre and half over the line and not called a throw in and 2 questionable 50 metre penalties which resulted in goals which were touchwood.

We played absolutely terrible but if we lost we would have been absolutely robbed by the muppets in Yellow.

Was sitting right behind the line of Jackson Merrett when he kicked that banana goal to put us in front. The crowd went nuts. Unbelievable. More Essendon supporters there than Brisbane ones.

Wasn't too far away from the Chappy hit. He is gone for that. Goose should be ok for the trip on Daniher. Whoever coat-hangered Watson in the third-term in a marking contest inside 50 and then punched him in the jaw with the other arm should get weeks as well. No free kick their either.

We won and in the end that is all that matters but we have a 10+ goal loss coming next week if we don't drastically improve.

Brown never took the ball out

[Capper]

missed the game but unlucky to the Lions.
