How do ya reckon we’ll go, given our previous record against Geelong?

  • Essendon play superbly - lose by 30 points
  • Essendon play to good standard - lose by 60 points
  • Essondon play reasonably poorly - lose by 100+
  • Essendon play normal poorly - lose by 150+

Seeing the team and noticing Weed as an emergency…then seeing Hep not named

I think Davey Jnr and Guelfi need to be in that half forward line along side either Langford or Wright ,

Gresham, stringer and Perkins offer no defensive intent and pressure.

I think Wright Langford
One of Stringer or Perkins
Guelfi, Gresham and Caldwell/JNR.
Mobile small forward line is our only way to mitage slow defensive half.

Why should he get a game? He’s done nothing since he’s been at the club.

So how cooked are Hobbs and caddy then?

Pleasantly surprised with the heppell non selection, agree with others though, forward and defence lacks speed.

Tbh, given our list, that is about the best forward line we can name (considering Hind and Menzie are on the bench and obviously will rotate on)

Yep, agreed, its likely close to r1 squad so we get what we need, a good indication of where we at with squad in favoured spot, provided magnets match

It’s close to our best possible squad. Add in Draper, Hobbs, hopefully Caddy - but that’s about as good as it will get for us.

Yep, Draper and Hobbs only best 22 players missing, but they’re also players we have good cover for, so we’re basically full strength.

For what it’s worth, in 21 of the past 27 official practice games, the winning team has finished higher on the ladder at the end of the year than the losing team

The backline leaks goals, the forward line is impotent, the onballers are undersized, our key ruck is geriatric, our recruiting officer is disliked, our skills are below average, our game plan appears non existent, last week we were beaten by 10 goals, the coach never turned up, our membership has plumetted, we’re selling plaques in decrepit stands for funds, we’re dobbing in mates for memberships, we’re playing at the cattery graveyard, we’re Geelong’s ■■■■■■■.

What could possibly go wrong?

Where is Essendon play to normal standard and lose by 60+ points

He’s just being rested.

Keep him primed for Round 1

I dunno. Seems like the “black” team to me.

Let’s see what it does. Interested in no Jones and Weid AND no Heppel.

Like to think the skills will be better this week.

Not looking for a win, just looking for endeavour and system.

Jones is on the bench (cut off in the pic alongside Menzie).
