Done. Mate, are you forgetting that Essendon quite literally haven't beaten anyone??!! :lol :lol In fact Brisbane's only losses in their last 10 have been against 4 of the top 5 teams!! Keating back is a huge inclusion...Charman will play forward for the most of the remainder of the season. While obviously no J. Brown, he's certainly big, strong and talented enough to take anyone who Essendon might throw on him apart. (Solomon?...Lee!?)...that is, of course, assuming that Fletcher plays and takes Bradshaw....because if he doesn't play, Brisbane might score 200 here! As free-wheeling and suspect down back as Brisbane are, they've only allowed 100+ in 2 of their last 10 and that was to the Bulldogs and Collingwood...who just happen to be the 2nd and 3rd highest scoring teams in the league. Essendon rank 12th. The only way Richmond get close is if it's wet. Decent record at the 'G, but wins over Ess, Carl & Kanga's (3 of bottom 4) and Collingwood in a downpour... Richo is currently a liability and shouldn't be playing. Brown is trying hard but obviously nowhere near his best. With you on Sydney tho...:ok Well, now I've had a look, Brisbane are into 1.80...should have jumped sooner...I think this is a more realistic reflection.

Re: AFL Rd. 17 I'm an Essendon fan and i know there is no chance that we can beat Brisbane. Doesn't matter who plays on Bradshaw, he'll still kick 5 or more as he usually does against the Bombers. TAB gave Brisbane 1.75 which is top value
