There will be over 90,000

There will be some sort of controversy.

50% of the crowd will go away happy. 50% will go away sad. Except if it is a draw.

I just hope the boys remember the fighting spirit they carried into the game last year. I really want Dids, Medhurst or Thomas to be BOG for the Anzac Day Medal. And it's probably about time Rocca or Cloke kicked another bag. That said, our disposal to them has to be far better than in the last two weeks.

This is it.

The game tomorrow is about as big as it gets, the clubs season is on the line, some players commitment and desperation are being questioned.

Its time for the players to respond, answer a few questions we need answered, tick a few boxes, run down the list and fall in line.

Essendon need this win, but we need it more. What club wants it more, what club has the players who are willing to sacrifice more, who are willing to hurt more.

Nothing less than 100%, any less and its not good enough, you didnt try hard enough, you didnt dig, you didnt hurt, you didnt win, you didnt do your part for the team when it called on you, you broke, you failed it, you became one of them, not one of us.

The little things win, tackle, chase, pressure, sheppard, harass, determination, sacrifice.

There will be no excuses, no answer will be enough, no words will explain it, we are either winners and losers.

Its time for collingwood, forget the excuses, forget the papers, the press, the TV, forget your tounge, start doing, start winning, start being what we are, start being the team, the team that cannot lose, the team the will not lose, the team that never gives in, the team, the team of collingwood, the team for collingwood, the champion team, our team.

Its time to sort out who is with us and who is with them, them are the weak, the soft, the losers, the selfish, the beaten, the forgotten, the separated, the hunted.

Us are the winners, the strong, the united, the faithful, the desperate, the best, the team, the collingwood football club.

With Johns in, we can't afford to put Brown forward. It will be a resting ruckman or Maxwell as the swing man if necessary. I don't think we need a third tall at this stage... because our best options aren't ready yet.

Given that the Bombers have three tall defenders in Michael, Fletcher and Ryder, maybe we could do two talls and four smalls, make it a difficult match up dilemma for Essendon as it would leave a mismatch given how our smalls generally play.

Historically, the Rocca's have always played well against Essendon. Hoping Anthony recaptures some form this week.

As long as our lads try their hardest, that's all we can ask.
