With Lloyd, Lucas or Fletcher gone by then they'll be lucky not to be still bottom 6 material.

That is funny.  They probably think Lyoyd and Lucas will still be starring in 2012 and in Brownlow contention.

In the article he gave Knights 8/10 for finishing 12th with eight wins and 14 losses.  Obvious BS but it contrasts severly to TW's 5/10 from our el presidente.

After controversially sacking Sheedy because they wanted Voss and then being left with Knighter, Les Patterson had to give Knighter a good mark otherwise an average mark would reflect back on him.

The Bumblers and Pies have dominated the Big 4 set up in recent years. I think that the Blues and ourselves will replace them this season and seasons to come.

The Big 4 will finish like this in 2009.

1 Richmond
2 Carlton
3Collingwood
4 Essendon.

Essendon have nothing and will not be top 10.

Topic: Why I think we should challenge for top 4 next year..

http://www.bomberblitz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63283


Yep when you luckily just scrape into the top 8 with something pathetic like just 10 wins and then are annihilated in your one final appearance you are obviously top 4 material according to Bomber fans :stupid :rollin.

Luck went there way with freo having alot of injuries and kangaroo's not winning an extra game.
Also drawing with carlton they played out of there skin from what I remember from that game.

They should aim to just be in the finals again next year. Unlike last time when Knights got them in the finals the next year after that they had huge hopes of massive improvement and they somewhat went backwards.

Seeing Essendon fail ranks closely with seeing Richmond succeed for mine.

And their bombs and their guns.

Really Mark McVeigh said it?

This is the same bloke who said regarding the ASADA mess that Reimers is just bitter ex player and the only thing any of them was injected with was vitamins

Yep Mark's a cluey bloke he'd know......NOT  :rollin

Essendon will win the premiership if it finishes inside the top eight, according to club great James Hird.
