Sure, they have matched up well against us in the last two meetings, but back then they were showing promise. Last week they basically fought for their coach's survival.
With a bit of luck RL and his assistants will have dissected the last Essendon game and done a thorough analysis on where we buggered it up.
I'm really hoping for a good first quarter. He have not performed well in first quarters for pretty much the entire season. This would set the tone nicely.
Whilst some of you may just want to settle for a win and the 4 points, I think it's about time we were to grind the mediocre team, like Essendon, into the hard Dockland turf and show the rest of the comp that we mean business.
I want our backline to really tighten up and start turning the screws.
A merciless demolition of the Bombers, please Saints
