$1.02 Saints
$13 Bombers

[Devilhead]

Lost another quarter

Fumbling & missing targets and getting smashed on the rebound - Saints of old

[LaUrEnCe]

god we are lucky to have this lead.. there's been some crucial errors made by us in that qtr {esp towards the end}

since quarter time this game has been very level..... in fact i think we had a bigger lead in quarter time than now so bombers are outplaying us

this lead should be enough ftw though.. if it was down to about 3 goals... it definitely would've been game on considering if bombers had scored the first goal it wouldve been a big dog fight till the end

[markinUSA]

We are still in front; no need to panic. We just need to get back to our usual pattern of great pressure in the forward line, and effective use of our forwards. We can do it! C'mon Sainters!

the games 50/50
right now at the start of the 4th.

look flat and tired.

bombers are without their #1 backman and #1 ruckman.
geelong would be well on top of us if they played us today

c'mon boyz, big last quarter and push it out to 45+ points

[backit]

I don't think Saints of old, we are playing a side that is prepared to put pressure back and we have to find away to beat it. This is a real good test that we have all been saying we need. Essendon is taking risks some are paying off others aren't. It is a could chance for us to know where we are at and where we need to be for the future.

[mad saint guy]

Essendon dominating general play. Our midfield has gone missing and Dons are moving it too quickly for us to hold them up. They haven't made the most of their opportunities and neither have we. The only play that we've won was in the first quarter.

If it's 50/50 I'm going to put money on the Bombers at $13.

[saintly]

its also a 9 day break to 6.
