After today Essendon is a winnable game.

Not the thread to say this but just responding to mb64's post...
Wow is everyone now going to jump on lucas 's 3 goals 5 behinds....had he kicked straight the bombers would have won...I just want to see if anyone in the media even mentions it.
 
Up to 6 with Essendon, Melbourne and Hawthorn to follow. Surely we'll win one of these?

We've kicked to the city end and been outscored in every last quarter this season; might be worth kicking to that end first if we win the toss. :P
 
Here's a record that we may break.....

We lost the first 5 in 1983
but our worst ever start to a season was in 1962 (lost the first 6)....

Although I think we can beat Geelong and end their season this week....and Bomber to be sacked next Sunday night ;D
 
Well, if we don't draw big crowds to the MCG and we don't start winning you can bet your bottom dollar we will play more games at the Dome.. if not PP Optus Whatever Oval
