I'll still be there, but I don't think I'm going to enjoy it much.

I think he will have them ready to serve it up to us with the hope of upsetting us. Be interesting to see how things pan out.Clearly he hasn't seen any of our games.

The difference between us and about 16 other teams......we refuse to, or are incapable of running fast and hard. Lazy lack of discipline.

Carlton by 5 goals. They are not that good.

kick straight and Essendon have little in the way of taller defenders.
Blues by 17 points....

I'm not going to tip a winner. Rather say WE MUST WIN.
Go Blues

I feel you don’t need tall or decent defenders when the opposition just bomb it high in your zone. So many players engage in a contest that it prevents an easy mark. Then with a spill of the pill they use genuine pace to get the ball from coast to coast. Add an inability to convert set shots, and the scoreboard pressure doesn’t really exist. Our conversion is terrible. It is a problem that can act like a virus and impact the whole squad. That old perceived pressure. Between the ears. Am I being pessimistic or realistic? Who knows. We will find out soon. Bombers by 3 goals.
