No, see how we back up after a good win interstate against a team who on paper is rubbish was telling.
Should go back to being called the Same Olds
Still think heās 10 weeks away. Wont be sited before the bye
In: Fantasia,Myers, Bags
Out: Brown, Dea, Walla (he looks like heās been on the dean rioli diet)
Hooker back (FOR FARKS SAKE!)
Oh and Iād start fricken Daniher on the bench.

Drop whoever you want, it wonāt make a difference. Been mediocre at best for the last 15 years. Dropping Dea and brining in Baguley aināt gonna make a difference. This club is mentally and physically weak.

Out dea hartley brown, i had to turn iy off watching this bumbling trio
it off
I didnāt say no changes, but the changes you are suggesting wonāt happen.
Iām tongue in cheek here but if you were going to be making changes based on output last night & the fact the Dogs are also not playing much of a tall fwd line either it would be:
OUT: Stringer, TIPPA, Brown ā¦ Daniher
IN: Myers, Fantasia, Baguley ā¦ Smack
But that would never happen!
I really do hope Fantasia going to be back soon as TIPPA struggling having best small defender on him & having no impact.
And JD finds his mojo again & stops playing dumb footy, not getting much of it as is so preferably not farking it up when he does would be great.

Tippa didnāt have his best night but he was so instrumental in our victory last week. Donāt understand the calls for him to be dropped. I think itās harsh.
Drop Joe? Thatās a joke. He has a lot of credit in the bank. Likely to play a blinder against the āDogs. One of our best players is allowed to have a rough couple of weeks. The man is human!

Donāt think we can carry all of Stringer, Begley & Langford in the one side. All seem to be playing a similar forward/midfield hybrid role. One must go if Fantasia is ready.

No need for wholesale changes. That side that beat Adelaide is a good side. Just accept we donāt try in Perth, and move on.

Tippa is having a look around, not focusing on the ball. Looking around is who is coming to the contest.

Who would he play on?
Need to demolish the bulldogs to show some maturity in the playing group.
Love Don Juan, bringing back the Load him in the Cannon and fire him off
should drop that kid mcgrath. he was rubbish.
ffs grow a pair.
id back our structures in after a bit of coaching. but maybe next time JD is struggling throw him in the ruck/around the ball till he finds it.
team got fyfed. just like it will get dangerfielded,martined,kellyed etc until we get some men in there. this season keep playing langford for the love of god. got to persist with mcgrath in the guts and probably have to keep working on the tanks of walla and stringer.
paddy ambrose is one guy i would like back. hows his injury going. long termer?

No. A win against Freo would have shown growth and maturity. A win against the Dogs (while very welcome) will only reinforce the Essendon of the past decade. We need to be able to produce, consistently, when itās expected.
When weāre underdogs or have our backs against the wall, the motivation is there. In games like Freo yesterday and Brisbane last year, we look like a different side.
I have no idea what the answer is, hell I have no idea what the problem is. Hopefully someone does.

Doesnāt matter to me, he can float and intercept for all I care. I just want him to settled in his preferred position and build a strong defensive unit with Hurls.
I canāt see us being a real threat as a club with the three talls forward, what it makes us is a bunch of down hill skiers. Bully boys when things are going well, down right embarrassing when they donāt.
We have the most unsettled backline I have seen in my 40 plus years of supporting this club.
