If Puopolo ducks I want someone to clean rip his head straight off.

Our back 6 easily has their fwd 6 covered IMO

Then it’s just the midfield battle which frankly based on our stats of late I don’t see how we won’t have them.

His head?
You know the Blitz preference is a little different to that.
Something to do with roosters.

Players will be instructed to tackle at the Hips against Puopolo.
but yeh, if you are giving away a free kick, make them earn it.

Last round, 2009. Maybe his 10th game. Took the ■■■■, the same day Lloyd knocked Sewell into next postcode.

Mitchell, O’Meara, Smith, Burgoyne, Shiels. Nothing else. We’ve got them covered for midfield depth and should be able to match them at the top end.
Not match ups per se but

Mitchell - Heppell
O’meara - Merrett
Smith - Zaharakis
Burgoyne - Smith
Shiels - Langford

then the likes of Myers, Stringer, Parish, McGrath. Raz and Walla pushing up to the contest and even starting off the back of the square.

I want nothing more than for us to demolish these smug ■■■■■■ on Saturday.

If there’s one team we owe a hiding, it’s them.

Would be nice for one of our lesser known (competition wise) players to bob up and kick a few goals.
Cue Guelfi - 3-4 Goals
or Francis 3-4 Goals
or Langford 3-4 Goals plus 25 possessions :slight_smile:

We are a fair bit behind, l doubt that percentage will play much of a role in our final fortunes this season, that we can make up the difference. Winning sufficient games will be difficult enough.

Anyone else remember another time we played Hawthorn in round 20???

FinalSiren tells me: Round 20 2006 Essendon v Hawthorn, we lost by 18 points

http://finalsiren.com/PreviousGames.asp?PrevTeam1ID=1&PrevTeam2ID=2&Team1ID=5&Team2ID=16

and then 2005, we lost by 13 points

and before that 1992 - we lost that one as well…by 160 points, 8. 8. 56 to 32. 24. 216.

I sat through all of them. 1992 was pure essington. Dunstall the previous two weeks had kicked a grand total of 1 goal. Kicks 12.8 against us
