Answer 4

Im sure they can beat Richmond but I dont think they will this week.  Richmond are pumped and have the top 8 in their sights...

Hardest game to pick for this round..argghhh!

Answer 5

**I think that both teams have a good chance of winning this game and I'd like to see Essendon rise for the occasion.**

Answer 6

Yes I think they can. It should be a great game - both teams seasons will be decided I suppose.

Answer 7

Of course - you should even ask????????

Answer 8

Yes, but it will be bloody hard.

Bombers by 2 goals.

Answer 9

Yeah I tipped Bombers but only purely through a coin toss..

Yes I'm serious a coin toss thats how tight I reckon it is..

Answer 10

I bloody hope so mate GO DONS!!! Hopefully 5 in a row

Answer 11

I think the Bombers can win this one. there are other players there besides Mcveigh. what about Hille, Stanton, Lovett-Murray, Monfries, Lloyd, Jetta? i think it will be a tight one though.

Answer 12

both teams are on fire and that makes for good footy, as does the absence of any gazetted ratbags e g hall and solly.

I think Essendon can rise above the absence of macca to produce a good effort.

equally, Richmond will benefit from getting Richo back and the confidence of the win against the WCEs(pronounced wussies).

My team right or wrong, I reckon the Dons by nine points with Lucas kicking 4.3.I goal from 57 metres out.

Answer 13

Of course they won't.  The tigers will bury them.  They won't stop at half time out of misplaced loyalty for Knights like they did last time either.  His job should be safe now.

Answer 14

Yes

Will they?

Seriously, who can tell?

Such an up and down year.

Has Richo Man's bruise gone and hammy really fixed?  As a Richmond supporter for over fifty years, I'm tipping them; but really, who knows?

Answer 15

Yes, Essendon have been in good form and should still win despite missing McVeigh . Richmond have had very few wins lately and it was only WCE that they defeated last week. Any team can beat the eagles at the moment.

Answer 16

yeah, they can get there - McVeigh has been a star but while he was out with last injury, others came forward and the TEAM is trying hard. Richardson is a morale booster to the Tiges but he still has days he'd rather forget, Richmond has several more reliable men.

I guess the Bombers by about 12 points.

Answer 17

It's possible because Essendon are playing well but so are Richmond and in my opinion I think the Tigers are a better team and will win.

Answer 18

Well............

I would say this would draw the third biggest croud of the year (anzac day 1st and collingwood carlton 2nd) specially coz its not on tv :@:@ bloody geelong and dogs.

with lovet and mcveigh out and richo in it will be very tough but i reakon essendon will be home thanks to their style of football they play

bombers by 20

GEE I LOVE ESSENDON  :)

Answer 19

Can they?  Yes they could but will they?  I think we (tigers) are up for this game, if Richo is back, then that is a huge bonus, both sides play a similar brand of attacking footy,  I'll go with the tigers by about 4 goals.

Do you bomber supporters remember all doubting Knights, what did i say, give him time, play the kids etc, have some faith n the bloke, starting to bare fruit, the bombers will be big movers next year.

Edit- As I said 'if' Richo is in,  not sure where you u heard that from but he hasn't been picked, not even as an emergency.

Answer 20

both teams have a very good chance of wining on the current efforts shown over the last few games

but i think that Richmond might just get over the line by about 7 points

but if there is rain Essendon should win buy at leat 3 goals

Answer 21

Whatever the result, its one of the real interest games of the year.  Both teams are producing some form that its a hard one to call (which reminds me, I must do my tipping).

However if either get to the finals, they'll still only be making up the numbers.  But the experience in getting them ready for next year.... well, that's another story.
