Pinned post from It is remarkable to consider that, just six days after they were rendered helpless and hopeless against the more talented Bulldogs, Essendon enter this weekend on the same win tally as the Dogs - and with a game in hand.

Commentators tonight for #AFLTigersSuns keep saying Hardwick sides haven’t won at Marvel since 2021. It’s not right. They beat the Dons there by a point in round 22 last year, and I remember that… for no reason.

Not a bad first 44ish minutes to not be able to see. Thank God for Cloudy Gakpo. #LIVLEI #YNWA
