What is an acceptable result tomorrow night?
For me ..at least a 5 goal win. Then i'll know we're back on track.

[quote="tweedaletomanning"]Thanks SP, but why do the bookies have us at such ridiculously short odds considering our recent form? $1.33 to win?[/quote
becuse the stars we have generate the short odds
whether we can acually perform as a unit is another matter entirely...

any win under 3 goals to essendon is a good effort.
but with their injuries we should be looking at 5 goals +

Same here. On paper, we should win by 4-5 goals.fonz_#15 wrote:i just want to see attacking, free flowing football with no hesitation or stalemate crap that i have seen so far this season.
but most of all i want to see this side put together 4 quaters

So you'd rather lose the game than win by 23 points, just to spite your northern island colleague?Launcestonsaint wrote:A win by 34 points would be magnificent.
A win by any margin would be great (as long as it isn't 23 points.)![]()

I don't blame you.

FWIW, a win by one point is acceptable. Even a loss is because Essendon is oour bogey side BIG TIME. but importantly, we must play well and give a four quarter effort. That's all I want to see.

Sorry, I thought I meant that a win would be great but by 23 points wouldn't be so great. I don't think I mentioned a loss.OneEyedSainter77 wrote:So you'd rather lose the game than win by 23 points, just to spite your northern island colleague?Launcestonsaint wrote:A win by 34 points would be magnificent.

The Saints are way tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unpredictable,i just
hope they can be competitive after quarter time and not fold like a banana lounge.................
I hope i don't start laughing at the forward line players strutting around like roosters on a promise before the first bounce,i've seen them doing it the last few weeks and after quarter time they go missing,for whatever reasons....

The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

A win by 20+
Lets face it, we need a win no matter what. I don't know how others feel but I hate Essendon more than Collingwood. Over rated, protected species, too much power in the AFL and I am old enough never to forget or forgive them derailing our premiership run in '77 by the publicity their president beat up after we towelled them up at Moorabbin.
If we and other clubs had any guts we would challenge the ANZAC day monopoly. What a load of crap -why should these two clubs have a mortgage on this day - makes me want to spew.
And do you know what is worse - us interstate reporters will have to listen to Tim Watson and his biased Essenscum dirbble on Fox. You reckon Eddie Ego was bad, this bloke is worse.
