Changes for 2021 Dreamtime V Tigers

Don’t know, it’ll be full though…

LAV on Reiwoldt.

Smash into him at every chance and he will sook it up something chronic.

Quote from Hardwick on the AFL website. You can already see the narrative he’s going to push with his players this week. They’re the underdogs, they need to get up to beat us.

Also said that Shane Edwards is likely to play this week.

NANKERVIS IS A MEAN BULLY AND IS THEIR KEY
HE ALWAYS SMASHES US

Zaharakis is fine when there is no pressure. BUT if there is, it’s almost guaranteed he’ll turn it over. He’s been below average for the last few years. Time to move on.

He looks so out of place it’s embarrassing to watch. Genuinely puzzled. Anyone who thinks he did okay and should stay in, please watch the replay sober.

You reckon they’ll pack it out? Surely at least 30k front up for it as a show piece event for indigenous culture?

Cold front coming through Saturday again, not that much in it though, may clear before the game even starts. It may even be a complete ridge out look at charts…

Unrelated but why was Allen played down back?

He is the master of these sort of mind games. He is extremely condescending - “give it a crack against a rampaging Essendon” … have I seen the footage of him saying this? No. And I don’t intend to. But I can just imagine the smart ars* smirk.

I’m not falling for it one bit but plenty of people will…

He knows exactly what he is doing. Straight from the Sheedy and Mark Williams playbook.

Please drop Zaharakis.

He was so bad.

Gave eagles multiple goals and screwed up multiple counter attacks of ours.

Clarkson too

Why does it have to be Zerk that makes way for Francis, why not give Stewart a rest.
I think Essendon has a very good winning % when Zerk plays this year

On that note, has Draper sung the song after a game yet?

Having watched ZT in the VFL his form hasn’t been great but has improved since the start of the season. He’s starting to show a bit more hunger and some of his efforts Saturday night showed that. He still had our lowest stats but Stewart wasn’t far above him, maybe just 2 extra disposals. I’d like to see ZT have a bit more consistency about him. In the end he might pass Stewart, but Stewart seems a bit taller and a bit faster. Stewart is also newer to the back role and needs to be persisted with a bit longer. For the future it could be a great battle between Reid, Stewart, ZT and Francis with only 2 or 3 of those talls being in the team, The other backs - Heppell, Redman, Hind, and Laverde seemed to have cemented themselves in. Then there are ones like Brand and McBride to keep pushing them. Our backline looks like it will be steady and strong for years to come, and that’s why I want to see more from ZT fighting for that spot and showing it in the VFL with a bit more fight and determination will go a long way to doing that. It’s all about the future!

Because zerk is bang average.

Can’t believe people think he’s any good.

He’s slow as treacle but he’s hard as a coffin nail and as a lockdown defender is a serviceable back up. He definitely comes straight out for Francis when he’s ready though.
