Round 5 Preview - Essendon vs St Kilda (19/4/14 7:40pm @ ES)

Will be interesting to see what happens with Goddard. Hopeful the adductor thing is just cramp related that wouldn't release. Not fun at all having physio working on that area, hip flexor etc.... fkn kills! 
If its an actual injury/tear then could be out for a while,  fingers crossed its not. 

Great challenge for Hurley if they put him on the rampant Saint Nick.

Hurley to Riewoldt with Hooker as the interceptor - handy to get the beast Myers back in.

 

Goddard will want to play against his old club no doubt, but we need him more for the ANZAC day match. Can’t be risked for either if he is injured, if he is okay, he should both play games.

He didn’t enjoy playing St Kilda much last year. Had a bit of a bub after the game IIRC.
Enjoy? Of course he enjoyed it. Don’t mistake the reason for his tears as regret. He was up for the match, the tears were an emotional release, after the event.

I’m not suggesting that he regrets moving to Essendon, just that you would have to be on crack to think that he enjoyed playing against his old team.

Don't understand the no love for Young Ashby. Thought that on a very difficult day he did well.

Van Unen can’t play cos there’s no way they have a jumper with his name on it.

And for those who forgot its names on jumpers this week and its bullshit.

No, Hooker goes to Riewoldt.

ESSENDON INJURIES:
Lauchlan Dalgleish (Achilles) TBC
Tom Bellchambers (ankle) test
Paul Chapman (ankle) test
Dustin Fletcher (soreness) test
Brendon Goddard (groin/adductor) test
Patrick Ryder (ankle) test
Courtenay Dempsey (hamstring) 1-2 weeks
Nick Kommer (knee) 1-2 weeks
Will Hams (hip) 2-3 weeks
Alex Browne (knee) season
ON THE BLOCK: A few Bombers may face the blowtorch after the side‘s surprise second-half fadeout against the Dockers. Dylan van Unen, Leroy Jetta and even the versatile Kyle Hardingham was unusually quiet.
ON THE CUSP: David Myers (ill) was a late withdrawal against Freo and will come back this week to play St Kilda. Ditto for Paul Chapman and Dustin Fletcher, one would think. Paddy Ryder should finally be ready to resume from his ankle injury, too. It‘s whether or not ‘Bomber‘ Thompson opts to give others a rest and keep playing some new names that will be of interest. Kurt Aylett has impressed for a few weeks in the VFL while draftee Orazio Fantasia was a standout at the weekend with four goals.
BEN BROAD‘S FORECAST: The Bombers will be relieved they‘re back home after playing in furnace-like conditions at Subiaco. Sunday‘s second half was a horror show for Essendon fans, but at least there shouldn‘t be any long-lasting effects. Mark Thompson will inject a few of his regulars back into the line-up for the Saints clash and the Bombers should be 3-2 in no time.

ST KILDA INJURIES:
Sam Fisher (hamstring) test
Tom Hickey (calf) test
Sam Gilbert (foot) 4-6 weeks
Lewis Pierce (back) 5 weeks
Nathan Wright (broken leg) 10-12 weeks
ON THE BLOCK: We don‘t like to bag players for the sake of it here at the Barometer, but surely Beau Maister‘s time is up. He had eight disposals at 50 per cent efficiency yesterday and ended up playing in defence. Jimmy Webster (13 disposals at 38 per cent efficiency) had a horror day and Shane Savage was a bit better but still far from the player the Saints hoped for when they recruited him as part of the Ben McEvoy deal.
ON THE CUSP: The Saints‘ VFL side played a draw against Box Hill with Terry Milera kicking the goal to tie the scores. He also had 27 disposals and is the frame for his first senior hit-out of the year. Jack Billings and Tom Lee were given another week to prove their form and both did just that, Billings collecting 29 disposals and Lee kicking 3.5 from 14 disposals. Adam Schneider got through the game and No.19 draft pick Blake Acres showed a bit with 18 disposals after being promoted from the development side. Alan Richardson says Sam Fisher might make his return in the VFL next week.
AL PATON‘S FORECAST: Reality hit with a thud in the form of an 86-point hammering from the Crows. The Saints got their hands on the ball in close (drawing level on contested possessions and clearances) but were cut to ribbons by Adelaide‘s runners. The most disappointing aspect for Richardson would be how the likes of David Mackay and Brodie Smith were able to waltz through the middle of Etihad Stadium unchallenged. Richo will have to get his troops to regroup for the first time before another big challenge against Essendon on Saturday night. Then it‘s a flight over the ditch to face Brisbane in Wellington on Anzac Day.

Looking at the stats just before, Hardingham had the least amount of footy outside of Goddard's injury. Could be given a spell soon.

He did kick 22.22% of our goals.

 

What would you rather, 6 disposals including 2 goals, or 9 disposals including 1 goal?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict the saints to beat us by a few points.

 

The exact opposite of my freo prediction...that should do the trick ;)

There is a famous quote about Yasser Arafat that springs to mind.
