Thanks for your confidence and your entry. I hope you're right

maybe i short changed you on the margin :)

i got the tip right though.

As a die-hard Bombers man I was not confident at all based on the previous two weeks form. Pretty happy with the result though.

  1. Port Adelaide aren't a 4-0 team.
  2. Home ground advantage.
  3. Essendon isn't that bad - you've had a couple of bad games, but you also had a very good quarter against Adelaide - so we know it's there, even if it's not always there.

Half our battle is that we are almost bipolar in our performances. I think I heard it best summed up at the weekend when it was said we need that sort of performance to be the norm, not a response to criticism.

Great win for your boys against Adelaide in the wet too. Will make for a cracking match on ANZAC Day

it's just the way the game is going these days.

Talent is spread so thin with 18 clubs, every team has a few crap players - and when the top few players have a bad day, the players beneath them are crap and it makes everything look terrible. it means any team can beat any team on a given day. except carlton.

The teams that can find some good players on the cheap that fill a role are the ones that look a bit more consistent.

I agree that in most cases any team can get up on their day - especially if their opponent has an off week. It makes it interesting, but also frustrating when you know your team can perform better
