It's one of those games, that they will be up for the fight and we still can't kick enough score.

Prepare yourself and know it's just a bump in the long road.

Nothing can prepare you for walking out of the G after losing to those pricks.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

I reckon their mid season slump is here.

They have actually done well to be as competitive as they have been but they are overdue for the wheels to fall off.

It's week 6 - they obviously wanted to beat the rush.

I hope our players are not thinking the same and are expecting an easy kill cause these pr1cks give there all against us.

Imagine they purposely went out in 2nd gear against the pies to save themselves for a game they really think they were a chance in.......against us.

They lost last week because they played crap. They are ripe for the picking this week. If we lose, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves. 

I know I'm in the minority, but I've never really bought into the whole "arch enemy" concept. Malthouse said one thing that I agree with - which is that in a truly national competition, with no or limited zones, various drafts etc. these old territorial battles are a thing of the past. If the players are more "pumped" for this game than any other one, then something is wrong.

Our players are smarter than that, particularly with Bolton cracking the whip, and I don't think the Essendon players are smart enough to plan for the next game.  They thought they were in with a chance against the struggling Magpies and the loss will really get them thinking about how far off the pace they are.

Of course, we have to find a way to kick a winning score.

We'll win easy but not by a lot.

The Bummers are a week to week proposition and are in survival mode until end of season - that's about as far as their planning probably goes. We need to go out there fully pumped and prepared to put in 100% for 4Qs. If we do that and really pressure them then we should win OK.
Reality always wins in the end.

I was there when Lloyd and Judd clashed head's.

But yes they will be incredibly ravenous this time around. quick trip onto BB and Bigfooty show they do not rate us at all.

Remember it was 30 Degrees and 90% humidity, hard big ground and a long flight back. 7 days vs 6 Days helps us though.

Big test for Bolton here to get them up and playing for 4 quarters.

Meh, Sunday afternoon football.

Really hard for me to get interested especially with the Cheating Scum playing, you just know the AFL are hell bent on getting them wins.

It feels like being charged to watch Lance Armstrong, just doesn't seem right!

If they get 55K at this game I reckon they have done well.

Carlton by 3.

The MCC website, which is generally very accurate, states:   Expected stadium attendance 45,000

So where are all those 53, 149 loyal Bomber fans??  I would have thought that they would have earmarked this one??  Maybe it will be all our 47, 460 turning up, less a few who can't get a leave pass!!

According to THIS AGE ARTICLE, Dylan Buckley is out with a calf, Walker will likely miss this week and return perhaps in the 2nds the week after, Everitt may need to regain form and fitness in the 2nds, Jamo may languish in the 2nds until his form demands a recall, SOSOS is looking good but needs time, and Nick G looks like he'll replace Buckley while Whiley and Tutt are possibles.

Me too, especially as I missed our last game and only caught the end on the radio.

That why we won. In that case you keep well away from the game as we have a 100% record when you miss it...lol.
