I'll be conservative, Bombers by four goals, see you there!
Jetta has 'groin soreness 'and has been ruled out of the Anzac Day match.
And we have two 'hamys' Winderlich and Welsh. Why so many, so early in season?
Gday Constable!!! Looking forward to it.
These ANZAC clashes are so different to the other home and away rounds. Form and position on the table goes out the window.
Having said that...........Bombers by 6 goals!!!
Carn the Dons!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone fill me in on Jetta's injury?
Essendon have had a bit of trouble with hamstring injuries over the last few years. There must be something wrong with their leg weights programme. And it's interesting that Luke Darcy is now getting Whiteside needles done as well. Maybe Essendon should try it. It's worked for some big name players.And we have two 'hamys' Winderlich and Welsh.

It's a pity the events of the last week have overshadowed some pretty serious news here in the west. Three Subiaco players contracted golden staph from the changerooms at Arena Joondalup during the last round. One of these players, who was touted as being a shoe in as an AFL recruit in the coming year, is likely to lose his foot because of it.
And onto something else I've heard... Four Corners are likely to do a special on the drug taking culture at the West Coast in the near future. It is likely that it is not purely about the recreational drug taking either. From my understanding it will uncover some explosive allegations as to performance enhancing drug use at the club recently and in the past. It is likely that the recent summons of Chris Judd and John Worsfold to Melbourne, is in regards to this, and not for other things reported.
I know for a fact that the Eagles were on steroids in the early 90s. The weights programme that they were on, was and is very good, but not any other athletes have gotten as big as they were on that exact programme. It is an unfair point though, because at that stage there was no testing, and I'm sure they weren't the only club dabbling.
However... after the removal of Ken Judge, and the appointment of John Worsfold as coach, John came back into contact with his links from the early 90s. If you remember, the eagles really weren't doing very well early on in the piece under Woosha, and then all of a sudden they got very big, very quickly. This also coincided with certain medicos coming back to Perth after stints at Brisbane. I believe there may be allegations made about this time period in particular.
Unfortunately, due to the Coasters having control of the media here, I'm sure you guys in the east will be the first to know anything. And after all, the Eagles management have managed to hide the fact that special K had been a convicted criminal since at least 2004. Something that isn't widely known in the east.
But surely, it's time for Nisbett and Gooding to go. I mean, Gooding can't even run his own company, how on earth is he supposed to run the eagles? And what a joke... them paying for the rehab for Cousins. What a disgrace and a kick in the face for any family suffering with a real drug problem. Not some side effect of an inflated ego.
And something in The Fremantle Herald over the weekend I found funny:
Morning All
I see fine weather forecast for Melbourne today!!!
Good luck Constable!!!
Anyone heard of any late outs for Essendon?
Duckman
well done to both teams ...... must admit i was packing myself after the first 5 minutes! But at the end of the day collingwood had the fitness and Dale Thomas was the standout.
I've done some research, and I think I've found out what Dale Thomas was doing with himself before he started playing for Collingwood:
Funny that he also hits like a girl as well.:
But seriously, as always, it was a good game to watch even for those without a vested interest in the game (apart for secretly barracking for injuries, fights and suspensions etc. if we have to play one of the teams soon.: )
Some of those Essendon youngsters look fantastic though. Very exciting to watch them play I must say.
Haha. I was actually insinuating he was Elliot Reid from Scrubs before he played for Collingwood.well if he was knocking around with a girl like that i wouldnt hold it against him!

Wow, Freo supporters have alot to do with their clubs sad, pathetic history.
In 'law of attraction'.........like attracts like. So the bitter, deranged dorkers will always be, with supporters like chops.
I was at the game yesterday and walked away a little disappointed, of course. More disappointed that the new depth that I thought was at the club didn't really come through. The past few games, when someone was down, someone else stood up, but not this week. Delivery into the forward line was shabby at times, and Mal Michael should not be playing on the oppositions tallest and fastest forward. What is Sheedy thinking? He's got to leave Fletcher on the best forward I think. Bradley back to Bendigo for the rest of the year I think. He's a clutz, but the potential is there. Johnson needs to start earning his significant pay packet. Paddy Ryder in the ruck is great to watch. Incredible standing leap. Davey's pace is astonishing. Should still be top 8 I think.
