Round 17: Essendon vs Filth: Changes, Discussion, Match-ups etc

These are the combined stats for Pendles/Swan/Beams/Sidebottom from ANZAC Day.....
114 disp.
7 goals and 5 behinds
....and that's after a goalless first qtr.
That's a few too many disposals, and far too many scoring shots from 4 mids.
It HAS to stop !

 

Yep. They were too strong for us over 4 quarters. And we tackled like little-leaguers that day. 

 

Watson not being there obviously hurts, but Hocking being there this time adds a lot. As does Goddard and Myers. There will be far more accountability, and far less shrugged tackles. 

Given Winders played a blinder and Dempsey was back to his best if Hibbo needs a bit more time so be it. We can cover him.

OUT: Hardy

IN: Fletch

Sub: Jerrett

 

When was the last time we fired a shot against these c---ts in the 2nd meeting of a season?? At least 5 or 6 years since we haven't had our pants pulled down.

 

Last years game where it fked down, twilight game is still etched in my brain. Harry O taking fkn liberties over BJ, hope someone shows him a tape of the game pre game to make sure it doesn't happen again.

 

There supporters are real piece of work. inbreds.

 

Every Essendon supporter who can make it should fkn be there this Sunday, we should fill it up on our own on Sunday. Though given how sh-t our home attendance was against Adelaide I think they've all packed up for season 2014.

06 when we had absolutely no right to compete with them, but won & knocked them out of top 4?

 

 

Was a Saturday afternoon in '08 when Woosha kicked 4, all in the 1st quarter?

 

Weird game that one. Jobe had 41 and got 3 Brownlow votes.

 

Just looked at the team we put on the park that day, And out of the 22, only 5 players are still on the list.

 

Jobe, Stanton, Ryder, Leroy and Fletch.

Out: Chappy (susp, don’t like it but odds are he will go), Ambrose (week off)

In: Hibberd, Fletcher

Z Merrett Carlisle Hardingham

Zaharakis Daniher Colyer

Hibberd Heppell Goddard

Winderlich Hooker Dempsey

Baguley Hurley Fletcher

Ryder Hocking Stanton

Myers, J Merrett, Melksham - Howlett

Em: Kav, Nob, Pears

Ambrose stays, idgaf whos coming in.

I'd like to see melksham tag Pendles, hocking tag sidebottom.
Means one of Zaka heppell or Stanton will get tagged.
Probably Clarke on Stanton
Macaffer on heppell.
Zaka, Myers howlett to create for us.
Beams and swan for them


Will Clarke play...? He hasn't been

In : Pig, Fletch

Out: Hardingham, Howlett

I just saw that Reid is a possible out for Filth. Corked calf. Not confirmed by Filth at this stage though.

Reid got a corked calf in the 2nd and didn't return. Apparently Maxwell played well so expect him to be back.

Swan sets himself for us, been quite since Anzac day....due for a big one.

Been quite what?

Win-win for us!

 

 

(first!)

No changes for mine

Out: close win

Do not want to see them kicking goals from 1m out.

Do not want to see Cloke throwing players around and it being lauded as a fair “show of strength”.

Clarke? He has only played seniors once this year and that was in March. He's on the outer.
I can't see how Hardy can stay. Two disposals, none effective.
I don't think Chappy will get rubbed out but surely a rest is imminent.
Ashby for Hardy assuming Pig doesn't come up.
Fantasia for Chappy sometime this month.
Chappy had a rest two weeks ago...
