Bombers finally have someone to play on Hawkins and he is out

Heading along to this country game held in the city.

 

[JackFlash]

It's most unfortunate, but Geelong are making a habit of 10 goal defeats and this will be another one. Bombers by 64 points.

but Geelong are making a habit of 10 goal defeats

That was our 9th 10 goal loss since 2004. Only 3rd since 2015.
Hardly a habit.

 

[JustaBattler]

Will be strange watching Geelong without the big Tomahawk lurking in the forward line - all the best to him a rotten way to end a career if that is the case - Dangerfield will (possibly?) be a big out for the midfield as well. Essendon have the momentum but Geelong have their backs to the wall. What can C Scott conjur up to get a win against B Scott?

2nd in a month...

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

If it was at the Litter Tray, the Cats would have a rough chance. At the G tho the Dons win this after a few scares.

 

[Xtreme]

Essendon to put the nail in Geelongs 2024 season.

Essendon by 120

 

[HirdsTheWord]

how the F are we favorite?

 

[Cam Payne]

What's the point of Victorian taxpayers building such a great ground if you don't use it? Cats by 12 points.

Probably the whole Geelong losing 5 of 6 or 6 of 7 or whatever. Bombers won't get a better opportunity to dish out some revenge than this weekend, no Tommy to feast on you, no Danger (actually that's par for the course) and most of our team is in rank form.

yes it hasn't gone unnoticed that tom wont ****ing obliterate us for once.

 

[windyhill]

I have ptsd in regards to the cats (tomahawk) . I hope he gets back the big man, clearly not looking good. Ahh the days we’d get the v-line down to the cattery when they actually still served booze on the way down, more fool them, obviously cut off on the way back.

Odds look about right with Essendon marginal favourites, which should strengthen a little when Dangerfield's appeal is unsuccessful. But the Cats certainly have a stronger chance than the past two games against Sydney/Carlton.

Cats 1/6 wins for starts recently - Danger & Hawkins out - if Essendon are finals worthy they have to win this.

cats are a proper bogey team for us. Dont recall being favs against them for a long long time. I suppose its at the G and not in gelong which probably counts for alot.

this reek of 2023.

Essendon were 5th on ladder against Geelong in round 18 and got belted by 77 which sent us to 8th place.

if we are at all serious then i agree we should win it, will we though is an entirely different question.

I am hard to convince these days!

Really good point. If Essendon were 10th they'd play in Geelong, but being that they're selling out Docklands against Interstate teams, appears the AFL want the dollars of 70k at the MCG.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

We certainly don't make a habit of 10 goal victories

It sucks but at least Essendon occasionally do play in Geelong, unlike the most favoured club.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Hard to pick this one. If Hawkins was in I’d say Bombers but now since he is out I can see Cats pulling this off.

hawkins rips us new assholes every time he plays us.

he is a massive out.

 

[Air_Chester]

Danger in, Cats win

 

[Vindicater]

Essendon to win by 11 points

 

[Cam Payne]

Scottbowl - Chris was always the favoured son. Cats by 19.

 

[PCORF]

Good thing Essendon play their away games vs Geelong at the MCG. They should benefit from this. Bombers by 30 points.
