Round 13 - Bombers v Demons - Sun Jun 15th - MCG

[Vinny]

Haha I actually rate Essendon.

But I love to see an underdog/improving club do well.

[Purple 77]

Demons for me.

I actually do think it this time. Essendon have no forward line and I reckon they'll find it harder to score than my demons, who admittedly may have scoring issues of their own against Essendon's solid back 6.

Depends on how many goals the bombers midfield kicks really.

[AaronKirk]

All hell will break loose at Essendon if we lose this week.

It is a game I expect we should win by over 10 goals if we play at our ability, which we have not all year.

Sick of the underperforming bullshower. So are the members, we are restless with 14 years of mediocrity.

Melbourne won with watson and they'll win without him too

I think you're spot on mate. What happened in round 2 last year is definitely indicative of what will happen this year. 

[Ringo]

Will the mental aspect of the ASADA effect the Bombers. We know whta the Bombers di when the story broke last year but there is no Watson this week. Without Watson to lead the way may favour the Dees.

can't tell if this is sarcastic or not haha

I like Melbourne, they're one of my favourite non-dons teams, but we're on a different level. Assuming the umpiring is neutral- or, as close to neutral as they can get in a dons match, it won't be a blowout but we'll truck on through to an easy victory. Players will be quite unforgiving I think you'll find.

[Mailman the 2nd]

I think with asada and jobe I wouldn't be surprised to see essendon lose any matches atm.

Last year it hit them like a train wreck,  without a captain much worse

Fletch has been a concern all week with a sore ankle and both Kav and Dell not playing in the VFL so could be a late in or 2

Yeah, heard this morning that Fletch could be a late out.

[Frozensage]
