Sure but what about Essendon?
We’ve had quite a few competitive game’s recently too.
Reading between the lines I think they are going to basically play the remaining four weeks like this:
West Coast: Back the same 23 who played last week to get the job done against lesser opposition. Minor tinkering around the edges only i.e. Tsatas may play
North: Same as above
GWS: Draper, Stringer, Shiel, Setterfield (two VFL games under his belt) all to come in in a roll the dice, try to make finals effort.
Collingwood: Much the same team as against GWS if we won the previous three games and can still make finals.
The only other little variable is I can see them giving Tippa a game in the next two weeks to assess where he’s at.
And if we did make finals they will likely try everything to get Ridley up for the first final.
I would go
McGrath. BZT , laverde
Redman , Cox, Hind
Martin Caldwell tsatas
Menzie Voss perkins
Tippa 2mp Langford
Phillips parish Merrett
Bryan Hobbs Durham heppell
Sub. Davey
In. Tsatas Voss tippa
Out. Snelling guelfi kelly
Another VFL bye in 2 wks. I’d say Setterfield will play vs North if gets through VFL ok this week
BDB saying he’s had solid training block but needs a game after being out for so long.
Back in vs North to play accountable role on LDU hopefully
Ah right, of course, the VFL team haven’t had enough byes already . Dead set lol. Yeah fair call, Setters may come in next week then.
VFL fixture next 4 weeks
Game vs Southport
Bye
Game vs Coburg
End of season
So only 2 more games left.
will be interesting if a midfielder goes out when Setterfield comes back.
This season has a 2019 feel about it ( 4 clubs finish lower than us with better %)
soft back end of the year draw - wins against suns, crows, North followed by thumpings from Port and Dogs to show that we were not up to it against the best teams and a honourable loss to the pies.
I think we need to win every game to make finals now, if we drop a game to giants or Pies thats it.
Doubt it. Will just stack the fwd line again, probably Hobbs will be playing fwd/mid
It seems even if we beat eagles and north, we will also need to beat one of 2, Giants or Pies(ain’t gonna happen for the latter, and prob not for former there). Thereforth, play the kids, give Tex Wanganeen a go, and a few others who have been doing ok in the vfl .
Got a text from the club - Tsatas debut confirmed.
Pretty smart assessment
We’re about to get us a bit of Tsatas-faction!!
Vanilla side, just finish us West Coast
Which side?
Essendon or Essington take your pick
Great to see Tsatsas get a game. Baldwin and Voss next in line. Let the development year finally begin!
Just drop Cox and end this madness!
