Game Chat – Essendon v Fremantle

Written by Father Dougal on May 16 2021

Where and When: 1:10 pm at Marvel Stadium

What it means for the Bombers: A win means a 3-6 record and that won’t really matter much. They are quickly headed to the wooden spoon = best draft pick race. 

What it means for the Dockers:   A win means 5-4 and being in the vicinity of the eight. A loss means 4-5 and staying right in the big pack of “not quite good enough to be in the eight” teams

Supercoach Watch: 

Bombers: Merrett, Ridley, Not Waterman, Cox, Nick Hind, Heppel, Jones, Perkins

Dockers:  Fyfe……………Serong………… 

Father Dougal’s Watch:  Andy Brayshaw, because I own him and I really want to see him bounce back!

Father Dougal’s Tip:  Fremantle are better enough to win away. Dockers by 6
