Bombers should get the W.
Iggs have been surprisingly not shower away from home this year (excluding at the 'G of course ;)), but Bombers looked awesome last week and think they'll get over the line by 2-3 goals
We're a better team than the Bombers, only way Essendon win is if they expose us out the back with their pace. I expect us to win a tight one.

Are Bombers fans actually booing Smitch cause he "took" Jobe's brownlow?

Ahhh ok
My theory makes sense as well haha
Do West Coast know Etihad is not the MCG? :P
Bombers with a couple extra on the field so far
7 frees to zip for Essendon, as a West Coast fan this is new experience ;D

You must be used to the fact that inter sate teams vary rarely win the rub of the green in Melbourne. :D
Couple of bad decisions but I don't blame umpiring, Essendon have been better so far
Feel sorry for the female ump though, her centre bounces have been woeful lol

Yeah we were fairly average, a couple poor shots on goal not helping, ill take a 16pt deficit
well there goes my tipping lead

Yep went a few different to everyone , including this one ::)
Daniher is dominating.
eags pls
Finally
Heh, just happy I rested LeCras in Worlds whenever he isn't playing at Subi. Seems the coaches are doing the same to the Eagles :-X
Sad thing is I can't say I'm surprised with this
So Giles is coming in next week.
The only decision I have is whether or not to stay or beat the rain and traffic and leave now
As a neutral observer, apart from Essendon's clearances, Chelsea is the best thing in this game... ;-)

My policy has always been no matter how bad your team is going never walk out on them, Even stayed to the end last night and you may not cop as big a hiding.
Ok back to watching Game of Thrones until Dees North comes on :'(

I had that policy many years ago and then I realised it doesn't count for anything so if leaving is more convenient I'll do it.
Do you reckon the Pies supporters went home at quarter time last night?

Big difference, they were home and we are horrible away. I know the Eagles. Zero chance we come close
I'll hang around til 3/4 time then reassess

This. That was always my rule when I used to go watch the Blues many moons ago. 3/4 time then off if there wasn't a show. Beat the traffic.
Myers 62 TOG :o

I stayed to the end of every one of those thumpings. It was a record margin every 2nd week. I remember there was 1 game against Collingwood where everyone around us left at 3 QT. Justin Davies went nuts in the last quarter and we came back to win.

This...
When your team is down is when they need you most... plenty of band-wagoners when times are good... :P
I expected we would win today but not by this much.
We have played really well in the last 3-4 weeks in the first half but not running out games. Still being affected by the 4 games in 20 days because of Anzac Day. We seem to be over that now and running games out better.
West Coast you're ruining my tipping, you suck... :P
;)
That flip up that Darling does always impresses me.
I finally give into getting Yeo this week because of his bye and Myers will probably outscore him
Ha, ha!
Whoever is doing the Fanfooty.com.au scoring icons for this game has out 'spacemen' next to the whole West Coast team ;)
If Gaff, Kennedy and Yeo can stop junking up that would be nice.

Yeah, that happened a couple of times and I'd be on the train to Sandy, with the earphones on ...

It was a thrill for me to go out to Pi=rinces Park to watch the Blues - win or lose. I was from the sticks and never had such a thrill as AFL games. But - it's a journey to get home, too. Balance.

About the only impressive thing about him :P
So glad I was working and missed the game, will put myself through a replay though #Eaglesarelove #Eaglesarelife
We're a very average side though still, top 4 is a bonus at this point, not an expectation.
