Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 7: Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

I think this one may be a little kok-teaser win for us. After that business as usual for a few weeks!

We can't lose this game, we just can't.

lol.......you gotta laugh, otherwise you'll cry.

FWIW, i've said a few times this year that we were no chance of winning (Tigers, Lions (and port i think)) but was confident we'd beat GC.

Dare i say it, but i reckon we've got this one in the bag.
Less confident than i have been, but i think we will come to play and get the job done.

Ok the question this week would be, could a first up DeKoning give us any less than Levi?

Its not that we are great but Essendon are very average IMHO and coached by a rookie.
We should win easy, they are soft, play an outside game and if we can make it more contested they will fold up.
Saad to be BOG and Harry to kick a bag vs a very ordinary backline...only injuries to key players, poor selections and a woeful performance from the coaching box  would cost us this game IMHO.

Farken ticketing is a joke, made the rookie error of trying to change my seats then ticket allocation was exhausted.

Its not that we are great but Essendon are very average IMHO and coached by a rookie (so are we).
We should win easy, they are soft (so are we) play an outside game (so do we)and if we can make it more contested (doub it) they will fold up.
Saad (they will make it very difficult for him) to be BOG and Harry to kick a bag (so far one week on, one week off for H, this is off week) vs a very ordinary backline...only injuries to key players, poor selections (we are elite at this) and a woeful performance from the coaching box (pretty good at this)  would cost us this game IMHO.

Their list appeared average but there 2021 form is far from average. Got within a few points of Sydney in Sydney when they were flying and should have beats the Hawks - lost by a point. Smashed Saints and beat Pies in the biggest H & A game of the year. With a few umpiring decisions had of gone there way they could have been 4-2!

Yet we promise the world and have yet to beat any team of note this year. We couldn't get within 3 goals in any of our losses and in some of those games we scored late junk goals or margin would have been worse. 

I'm nowhere near as confident as some on here - Their speed across the ground could really trouble us if there is no rain and being their home game they will get the crowd support as well. 

If we don't bring close to our best they will get us.
