Round 16: Essendon vs Port Adelaide: Changes, Discussion, Match-ups etc

How this goes to the line. The pace is ridiculous, lots of high velocity collisions. Keep it up

Hocking to Robbie gray ? so damaging with every touch

Getting Port after a Showdown ain't necessarily a bad thing either. 

any news on Hibbo?  There were suggestions of a pigstring strain?

In Baguley, Winderlich, Kavanagh

 

Out J Merrett, Hardingham, Melksham (but won't happen - he wouldn't be left out even if he died before a game) 

 

Would like to see a Bellchambers in the side as his presence helps Essendon's structure, but his form has been bad, and he didn't even play VFL this week.

 

 

In-Edwards
Out- whoever


Fair suck of the sav!
He's like a Ford Capri. Looks the goods, but needs some serious work under the bonnet.

Fark it, I don't have a bandwagon, never have but I'm on this guys, agree its an early call and he has done sfa so far but yesterday he showed something I wasn't sure he had, heart.
If he can put it all together we may have a player that can come into the side and make a difference (not many of those atm) get around the Ford Capri, GT model ofcourse.

 

I'm with ya. Edwards has that spark about him. Sure doesn't get it alot at the moment, but when he does, he's not afraid to take the game and players on, something we need.

 

So if others can get a free ride at senior level, surely he could and should for a couple of weeks to see what he is capable of at AFL level.

 

But we all know he won't. the coaching panel has a set 22 players that unless severely injured or suspended, they will not deviate from at any cost, whether we are winning, losing, player is out of form etc etc etc etc

Port will smack us now.

We can beat Poort and we will beat them well.

■■■■ being scared.

Carlile will also miss for them with a hammy.

Thanks Adelaide, port should be well fired up for next week. Freak.

So they lost their two main kpd for the game with hammies? Trengove and Carlile?

Fk Adelaide just leap frogged us on the ladder. Spewing about cats and dees games!

Except Wingard to have a blinder next week.

Alipate and Trengrove out is huge for us. They'll go in undersized. ENTER JOE DAN.

AFL = corruption again

 

Port are the highest free kick receiving team in the league, however when they play crows in the showdown frees are 24 - 11. I watched it from go to wo and if we ever got the run that he crows got from the corrupt maggots tonight we would be on top of the ladder.

 

Disgrace. Forget about the money and play the farking ball AFL

Adelaide showed up port for run and carry!

hence why we need pace next week

Groundswell for Edwards.

Bags is the man.

Surely Port a due for a crap game? Am I too optimistic ? ;)

Dude, you are a week too early, they were supposed to have the crap game next weekend, not today!

Need cover for Gus as well perhaps Winders play in defence to provide some run.
