Game Chat – Essendon v Melbourne

Written by Motts on September 19 2020

Where and when: Metricon, 2:10pm (AEST)

Last time they met: R3 2019, Melbourne 18.4 (112) DEF BY Essendon 20.10 (130) [that scoreline in 2020 just looks absolutely freakish]

What it means for The Bombers: Essendon are done and dusted for season 2020 but would still dearly love to finish above the arch enemy Carlton on the ladder.

What it means for The Demons: By contrast, the Dees are playing for their lives in this game. A win and other results going their way (most notably the Dogs losing to Freo) and they’ll be playing finals footy.

Motts Watch: I’ll be watching to see if Essendon put up a fight to get a win or if they’ve given up the ghost with no Top 8 spot on the line. Also keen to see if the Dees deserve that spot in the 8. They’ve been terribly inconsistent this year.

    1. I’m 1 of probably thousands of VC Gawn.
      How many that own Gawn won’t have him as VC or C would be interesting to see.

      1. I need Gawn to go 400 today as opponent FD has played 6 for 726 (average 127) without captain played. Anyone else think I’m in trouble?

        1. lucky you haven’t got the Golden arches too JD – check out that score at 659 from 5 with no C yet too!! (only disappointment was new recruit Telly) !!

          Good luck to you and Father … will be interesting to see it play out!

  1. Doc move:

    T/U – Ridley
    T/D – Watch how Rivers goes as E, and if he doesn’t pan out, trade Doc to Daniel/Maynard/etc

  2. Come on Langdon show me that you weren’t a horrible POD choice this season, by scoring a tonne in the SC GF week!

    1. Well then Langdon did what I asked but his tonne was for DT……
      I wonder how he’d score with longer quarters next season as he seems to be a decent DT/AF scorer but not really a SC scorer

    1. Getting the feeling of last week where he had 80odd at 3/4 time then somehow got 70 points final quarter.
      Odds for it again?
