Kangaroos vs. Essendon Telstra Dome - Round 7 2007

[TalkingFootball]

This game has a whole new dimension with Roos going for 3/3!

[DonzFC]

although it burns me to say it, i think we may lose again this week.

i feel this year we will go well against free running teams ie adelaide/freo, and struggle against teams that tackle hard and close us down quickly forcing errors..collingwood did that, and that is what the roos will do.

but on the plus side each time we have been underdogs we have won this year, and each time we have been favorites we have lost.........the roos should be warm favorite.

another plus is the dome, i think we play better there than at the g, we find it easier to use our tackling pressure on the smaller ground and dont get lost in the open spaces.

although it may not seem like a huge loss, we are REALLY missing hille atm, we have nothing in the centre and need him back fast, and lloyd, although not kicking alot of goals still straightens us up a bit, we looked listless last week, chipping and handballing around in circles.

vertict.
head = kangaroos by 17
heart = bombers by 24

I think it's time to declare our season officially over. Would of been great to give Hirdy another run in the finals before his departure after all he's given to the club but another bottom 4 finish is on the cards.

Play for last and get Judd

I think the Dons are carry too much dead weight.
