Essendon for 2008?

Question

Have the Bombers got any chance for the finals? And where do you think they be in 2009?

Answer 1

Very disappointed with them today.

That was a thrashing and a half....so unexpected.

Good on Collingwood...well Medhurst really...I think he won it for them...he was on fire.

Who knows where they will end up.too early to tell.

Answer 2

The Bombers will finish ouside of the 8, 10th will be around the mark. They have adopted a play on and run approach which is already causing fatigue and soft tissue injuries in even the younger players. Their list is somewhere between established and rebuilding, and their direction will see them finish around 12th next year. It's going to be a hard road till the younger players mature into their mid twenties. Sensible recruiting will help and some positional stability is important for the grooming of key position players.

Answer 3

Nope

Answer 4

um, not sure if they will get to the finals. i think they might have run out of steam now. they were quite good in the pre-season but now they kinda suck.

Answer 5

Just a few injuries they'll come back strong in the second half of the season.. It'll depend on how tight the top 8 are if they make the finals..

2009 should be a pearler year for em!

Matty Knights kicks ****!

Answer 6

Finals, yes...however there needs to be a fair bit of development with some of their younger guns. Their forwards need to be given a kick up the butt, especially Lloyd. Lucas' injury will take time but when he is back, the Don's will certianly have more of a chance!

Answer 7

probably not. In 09 they'll probably be ready to make an all out assault on the premiership and finally become competitive again.

Answer 8

With McVeigh and Lucas coming back they'll have a better second half of the year.

They'll probably finish 12th

In 2009 they will jump 4 spots to 8th.

Answer 9

yeh they will finish 7th i think hope port power finish last hahahaha lol lol they suck

Answer 10

As the saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover, Collingwood showed their top qualities today as they reached their ever so lasting potential. In the end, Collingwood players were lose which led them too win the game fair and square, it will be remembered.

This year, Bombers havn't shown their all, although it all comes down too weather they have the strength and ability of which they do. More so, all in all, they will easily finish 12th this year, 8 would be pushing the limit, next year, 7th maybe, their dreams and hopes of another premiership awaits them yet another victory, undecided on how they will properly finish in 2009. Hope I helped you, Gooooo Swannnies.

Answer 11

nah i dont think the Bombers have any chance for finals in 2008, loseing Lucas in round 1 was a huge loss, and then McVeigh didnt help at all and Lloyd down on form , in 2009 i think they can jump into the finals

Answer 12

lucky that Melbourne are not doing so good or they would be the ones on the bottom of the ladder

Answer 13

They could either finish off strong with Lucas and McVeigh coming back and JUST scrape into the 8, that means they have to win some games now.

OR

With their high running game plan they could drop off and finish 10-14

Answer 14

No and i go for the bomber today was just shocking! Inh 2009 they will come 9th but 2010 will be in the finals

Answer 15

Only a very slim chance for the finals, and i'm an essendon supporter. We have got too many injuries to star players and too bad start to the season by the time Lucas gets back it will probably be too late although if Lloyd can start kicking some bags of 6 or 7 goals we will have a chance.

Answer 16

Sorry but Essendon wont make the 8 this year.  They might improve in '09 though

(im trying not to gloat about how much we beat you by today!!)
