Stewart to replace McKernan
Not doing much at all
Yeah like Lav they were having a crack at least
You know thereās an issue with your list balance when you have more than a few guys who deserve to be dropped but canāt due to there being not enough quality to bring in to replace them.
At least he we will have a tall target to kick to

Ridley Hurley Fantasia

No dropping Townsend yet. He needs ground ball in the F50 to do the best work.
Fanta needs to go forward.
Hibberd out. Guelfi or Cutler.
Redman out, franga.
I would drop smack and bring hooker forward for bzt. But then we wonāt have a second ruck.
Anyone have any good notes on the scratch match today? TBH we need to get what our senior team would look like on the park, it canāt be worse and they wonāt get fit enough in those scratch matches. So bring them in now, would rather have more class and effort but no tank, than this ā ā ā ā .
No chance they are cooked and tanking
We will win and then following week get Shiel back thank goodness

Couldnāt disagree more, he is essential for us. The ball never went fwd and he was wasted up there. When they put him in the middle we started to get things going. He was banging and crushing bodies. It was too late by then.

We need Joe, Stringer and Shiel in this team to have any chance at the pointy end this season letās be honest.

I reckon Adelaide are good things next week.
It is the type of game Essendon traditionally lose.

Usually not keen on dropping a kid after one game but I think we need Fantasia to take Cahillās spot up forward, with someone else coming back into the side to play as our 7th defender - Iāve gone with Guelfi.

farrrrk we are so short
With 3 mins to go in the 4th qtr the game stats came up on the screen for Tippa
2 possessions
1 goal
Which means that from about the 5 min of the first qtr When he kicked the Smack slap back goal, to when that stat came up on the screen he hadnāt touched the ball.
He is either unbelievable or unbelievably bad.
He did a lot of chasing tonight, always 10m behind. Not much bashing and crushing at all. Not saying he should be dropped but he should be a leader by now and those sort of stats are truly pathetic.
