Bomber

And I will say that, yeah, and whatever he sprinkled on their cocoa pops in the morning, he will use next week.

Hey, what about this, though? Did you hear that Belmont Bombers' C2 reserves team has been officially removed from the grand final in the PFL following a determination law and a breach of the bylaws? I didn't.

That's not good.

So someone's won a premiership already without having to play.

were a fan.

This is what you said in regards to Fremantle Dockers development coach and game day runner, former player, former GWS giant, Tendai Mzungu.

I've got one for the Bombers here, and I've got a solution.

It's been a decade of no defence, right? So I've got the solution.

What score out of 10 do you both give? Darren, thanks for joining us as always.

Of course, the resident bomber around these parts, but the best bomber supporter.

around these parts because he is very humble and nice enough to join us, despite the fact he is of the Bomber's ilk.

What score? Well, I think we went from a score of 0.5 when we were 1-8 to, I reckon the way we turn things around, I'd probably say a 7.5, maybe an 8, I think, in context of where we were.

If you don't look at that, if you were just looking at in terms of you didn't know we had that poor start to the year, nine rounds in, and we finished 10th, you'd probably say, yeah, it's below expectation.

We're gonna touch on that.

We're gonna touch on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers injury report out just after we finished yesterday.

It's a closed practice for them today ahead of the Banjo Bowl.

NFL kicked off last night.

He had an ankle injury that held him out of that Labor Day Classic.

He practiced in full yesterday.

And again, the Bombers are practicing today, so there will be another injury report, but it's closed.

So, you know, Derek Taylor, Ed Tait, Taylor Allen, the reporters aren't able to see who's the, out there, but we will see later on how much these guys did practice.

Nathan Rourke, I mean, numbers look pretty good, 375 yards and two touchdowns, but the key play was the pick six.

Uh, we've talked a lot about this one on the daily show yesterday, Remus, and we'll talk about it a lot this week, but, um, Your thoughts on this one, maybe from a rider's perspective, because we've covered the bomber's perspective here on WST.

But the riders, you know, stay within striking distance of first in the West at eight and four and pick up a big win in front of a rowdy home crowd at Mosaic.

Yeah, it was an amazing crowd at Mosaic Stadium for the Labor Day Classic, and you really saw it affecting the Bombers, you know, with the late penalty and throughout the game.

And credit to them, you know, Zach Kolaris under pressure all night and really stiffing the Bombers' offense in the first quarter really did nothing.

You know, if Saskatchewan doesn't miss the two field goals there, which have been a problem for them this season, this could be a bit of a bigger... of a difference.

So Saskatchewan, I think you have to be impressed with how, you know, they came up, you know, they came on in the fourth quarter.

I know a big story of their season has maybe been that their D-line hasn't been as explosive as their Grey Cup team from a year ago.

Oh, I won't-

If the, if the Bombers-

Oh, it's a mess

... go, uh-

[crowd cheering] G'day, Bomber fans.

This is Archie Roberts and you're listening to Everything Essendon.

We are Essendon.

We are Essendon.

We are Essendon.

G'day, Bomber fans, and welcome back to the Everything Essendon show.

It is, of course, Wednesday night, which means we've all got to huddle around and talk about the Essendon Football Club, and boy, there's a bit to talk about.

It is drama season, home and away.

The players love playing in front of that.

E- even, even the Bombers talk about it, right? And you even hear Milt Stegall saying, what, what's he say? "I don't miss playing or practicing, but once in a while I miss the Labor Day Classic." And he's played in quite a few of them.

Mm-hmm.

So there is something extra about it.

Right.

Uh, as I know it's been a struggle the last few years to stay healthy for you, Chris.

But what's going on with the Bombers? I know they're your former teammates.

Uh, just played with them last year, but the, there's something off all season.
