I’d love to also
I’d argue the better punishment would be to keep the same 22 out there, excluding those with injuries.
Make the team from last week cop another absolute beat down from a team who are the total reverse of us, hardworking, team orientated and tough in the contest.
I want to see these players get embarrassed in prime time on a Friday night against one of our biggest rivals and then rightly cop an ear full from the fans before they head over on their European summer holiday
Yes he is. But Tippa is done. It was always going to be a challenge for him to regain fitness, a mountain a bit too high to climb.
I’d be scared for him if he got a send off game this week against the racists. I could imagine some unsavoury headlines.
I agree he is done, if he is retiring which he should, there is no reason not to give him a send off on Friday night, probably the only way I’d actually go to this game is to say cheers and all the best Walla, my personal opinion other can have their own.
Why will it be hard?
Personally I’d be happy with Walla coming in and kicking the 60 or so goals required on Friday to give us a chance to make finals, even if just to prove Jon Ralph wrong.
Bring Walla in for Guelfi.
One last crack, and if he sets the place alight he gets another year.
Absolutely, no one could say Walla is playing any worse than Guelf, Walla deserves a proper send off.
Walla can’t run mate.
Did you watch the game the other night mate, they’ve checked out and it ain’t gonna change this week, a walking Walla would be better than most of those pea hearted so called Essendon footballers.
The last thing you want to do is send him off and embarrass him. He will get torched by the Collingwood backline. You need to be careful.
The only reason for Walla to get a send off game is pure sentimentality, which is fine.
He certainly doesn’t deserve one based on output or any likelihood of him being damaging.
So I think it just comes down to what your reasoning for him being selected or not is.
We seemed to be fine doing that with a clearly not AFL ready Hurley last year. And I fkn loved that he got one final goal.
Just play Walla. There is still room for some sentimentality in footy.
Yes agree with this you do need to be careful, but if he’s got anything left bring him in, sub him out if need be, or make him sub.
Only way it would work would be to make him sub. I think it was great that he came back, and had exactly what we needed early in the season, but I think… I don’t know.
Why are people talking as if he’s needing to force his way into a competitive team?!
Park him in the goal square and do everything you can to get the ball to him and give us fans one good moment to go wild for after a horrible 2nd half of the season.
Would be interesting if our season was inverted. How pumped would Blitz be now?
No more goodbye games. Sick of it. Win a ■■■■■■■ final first.
I assume Blitz would be very quiet now if the season was inverted, due to every single user being permabanned as a result of the meltdowns the first half of the season would have brought.
This is 100% correct.
