NO RESPECT!

THAT'S right. Loathing yes. Hatred certainly. Respect no. Leigh Mongrel, one of the "great's" of the game, is a character that I have always despised - even before the 1983 Grand Final.

Fark you, the stooge and mouth-piece of "Deflowering Homes".

Nothing would give me more pleasure this week, than to see you - the old fossil, trip over and fall at our Concrete Dome.

AND fall YOU will!

Recent history shows that the Bombers have won their past two encounters against the Lions by an average margin of 50.5 points.

The last time they met it was a wonderful day at the office, as former Essendon captain James Hird turned on a vintage performance to hand Brisbane their worst defeat for the season. 2007: Round 8 - BRIS - 8.15 (63) Def by ESS 18.19 (127) @ HOME (by 64pts)

“Essendon are in good form at the moment and playing well. They are in quite a good patch.” Leigh Matthews said.

“They’ve got their team back together but we’ll put a pretty good team on the field too in terms of availability of players.” Matthews said.

Lions co-captain and danger man, Simon Black has averaged close to 28 disposals in his past four matches against Essendon.

That wont be the case this time around, watch your back - Black...

Coming off an embarrassing one point loss to the Demons, Leigh Mongrel had this to say, “I think it’s a good thing for the players to just have a break from the physical contact for a weekend.”

No doubt it was a good thing - may even have taken out a little bit of sting & heat out of the loss to Melbourne. Can only be good for the Men from Windy Hill, especially if it helps Fletcher and a couple of the other boys to recover.

JUST wait 'till you see what the Bombers throw at your players this week.

THINK and prepare for: Tough, crunching and uncompromising tackles from the likes of Reimers, McVeigh....And

ADD to that a couple of hard hits from Captain Lloyd.

“Travis Johnstone was right on the fringe two weeks ago with his hamstring, so he should be fine for this week.” Matthews said.

We don't care who you bring in.

CURRENT INJURY LIST

Travis Johnstone (Hamstring) – Available

Achilles? whatever...

Sure.

The Lions are yet to lose consecutive matches so far this season.

AND as the AFL ladder currently stands, Brisbanes' six losses have come against the top four sides (Geelong, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Sydney) and the bottom two teams (West Coast and Melbourne).

BE prepared for one more loss, Fitzroy Old Boys, dished out by the mighty Bombers!

PLEASE step on Jonathan Brown's toes, mess his hair & hide his jocks Leigh Mongrel. Get the thug fired up, I want the steam coming out of his every orifice. It will make me laugh that much harder when he gets tackled to the ground & Reimered - by that man in orange boots...

Make no mistakes Lethal.

THE Men from Napier Street are coming out to play!

ESSENDON by 49 points.
