Changes for Essendon vs. Adelaide

Ol Chap looked pretty ordinary yesterday, needs to respond against Adelaide or have a kick in the VFL which will be very embarrassing.

Geelong offering a one year contract, got it about right. But Meh, it would have paid off for us if we were a contender.
Next year could be interesting.

Chap would be happy to walk at the end of the year if he felt he wasn't contributing, hope he bounces back but I have my doubts.

I’ve settled down now from last night so here my thoughts.

Winders should retire he’s cooked

  • ellavate steinberg use him as our third forward got 10 weeks to prove his worth

    Melk- I think he can play but his disposal was poor last night and has been for a while and I keep thinking them sort of games from 1/2 dozen players make you a middle of the road side.

    Hurley - don’t get me started has got to be the dumbest 500 grand I’ve ever seen ,it’s all right running at the ball at a million miles an hour but there is a lot of times you don’t need to do it. If you watch the replay you’ll see what I mean .i really beleive he will end up a third forward at best

    Dempsey- I thought he was okay last night

    Baddsley- he hasn’t got to many tricks and not sure if he’ll get any better

    Pig- just play him in the middle

    SUMMING UP IF WE HAVENT GOT ANY BETTER IN THE TWOS THERE IS ■■■■ ALL YOU CAN DO

I think I’m ready to see Jerrett reprise his season start. Melk can go have a spell and a think.

if i see the poor ■■■■■■■ up the field getting bashed and crashed, fumbling, roosting high balls to nobody and falling over i will lose my freaking mind. keep him the forward 50 please!

Surprised that some are suggesting Ambrose be dropped this week.  Thought he was ok on Sunday.

 

On form and looking to the future, I'd drop Chapman before Ambrose.

Agree, Ambrose is taking big strides in his development 

Won't be dropped, nor does he deserve to be.  

Based on the VFL thread, Colyer has to come in.  His spark is what defines him, and boy could we do with a spark.

I'd like to see Jackson Merrett Back in.

Colyer and Merrett for Chappy and Winderlich.  The future is now?

 

If only Tippa was available :)

if Gleeson is fit I would definitely have him in the team.


Hasn't even played reserves for weeks
Well then he is not fit and so I wouldn't play him.

I'd like to see Jackson Merrett Back in.


He was putrid for weeks before he went out.
Make him earn & deserve a spot with consistent good form in the twos.

I think ambrose stays. Why disnt Dempsey chase in that last 1:30??? I just saw the footage again and he just walks…

Outs

Melksham definitely needs to go back to the 2's

Winders is just about finished, but I am beginning to think maybe we should just use him for our sub for the rest of the year. He might be very good as an impact player.

Bellchambers needs to understand that if he cant kick those goals then he doesn't offer a lot more value.

Dempsey, from my TV I thought he was Ok but obviously I missed a bit.

Chappy, what to say. he cant stay if he is going to run into Daniher going for a mark.  What was he thinking? 

Ins,

Any fit from in order Jerrett, Gleeson, Hardy, Aylett, Ashby, Nob, Dell. (I don't watch the VFL so might have left a few out)

 

We need people who realise how lucky they are to be there. 

Ashby for Dempsey - love this attack at the packs

Gleeson for Melksham

Fletcher for Belchambers

 

Kav to start (essentially Melksham position)

 

Gleeson with the vest (get him back to full game fitness)

 

would wake some of the senior blokes up

Wow all the will winderlich haters? Before he was injured he was that only forward we had marking balls inside the forward 50. He’s come back from injury and has had what 2or 3 games since then and has been yes I agree average but fark me you all wanted Zaka canned after he came back from injury (I’m pretty sure?)and now everyone’s applauding him. Just give it some time not this week to week change of minds!

Gee I hope we win. 

I love these guys, but Chapman and Winderlich should be out of the team.     They were both slow as treacle on Sunday. 

 

We need Jackson Merrett back in the forward line.

By dropping them is it going to make them quicker?

Zaka had a work rate issue, he has fixed this the last few weeks. Winders I think is a bit limited by his body, but can definetely work harder and present better in the forward 50.

Just because chapman and winderlich have one off game everyone wants to drop them? They add experience we need.

 

OUT: MELK, DEMPSEY (You can say we need his run but his not providing it anyway)

IN: FLETCH, MERRET

 

Carlisle can go back forward now hurls and fletch are back in together.

Well, of course not, but did you actually watch how slow they were.   We are relying on ageing players to create speed in our forward line and it's not working currently.

We need to do something and to have both of them there is not of any benefit.   So both out or one at least.
