DEMPSEY GONE

Out of your mind.

 

Have persisted with him over last two weeks and has improved immensely. Needs game time. Is clearly a dangerous player when fit.

 

I hear you, but geez he had a few clangers. Personally I'd like him to get the rust out of his system in the VFL and bring back Gleson (if fit) to assume his role ( i love Gleeson, and Demps for that matter). Couple of week for mine - won't happen though as he's played two straight, and maybe with the Lions coning it won't be so bad.

DEMPSEY GONE


LOL

Brisbane, statistically, have the worst defence in the competition conceding an average of 116 points per game.
I still think we will be lucky to score even half of that next week... especially on a ground like the Gabba. An absolute shambolic & poorly structured forward line the culprit.
Fletcher/Hurley/Hooker/Hibberd will again be the keys IF we win this. Brown will come back and play his best game for the year against us (no surprises... why not just announce your retirement in the next few days as well to go out on a high?) & one of our players better grow some balls this week and stand up to that pig Merrett.
They physically beat us up last year and that was the catalyst of their win. Time to get some mongrel.
We blamed the heat for losing in Perth... no doubt the "stifling Brisbane humidity" (pfft!) will come under the microscope if we find a way to fark this game up.

Boooo!!!!

We need Dempsey to provide that burst running we lack. A couple of games under his belt will do him the world of good. Hopefully he has got those clangers out of his system after the last two games.

I am very nervous about our chances this week after our recent erratic form. Anything could happen.

Hooker will keep Brown quiet. We'll win.

 

I do agree on Merrett (theirs, the sniper), our players need to stand up for themselves. I bet he targets Joe or another one of the young and skinny guys. I don't reckon BJ or Chappy will let him push anyone around in our forward line though.

Why the fark do you even support essendon? If your so down on us and the things going on then simply fark off to another club that will fill your pants with fuzzy feelings

Because I'm not 5 years old and I love the club.
The last month of footy, despite the win last night, has been thoroughly disappointing and at times depressing. These things go in cycles and we will no doubt return to playing 'good' footy at some stage this year... I just can't see us coming out of our current trough in time for this game.
Hope the boys come out and prove me wrong... we kick 20 goals to 8 and have a great win. Can you see that happening at the moment? If you compare both clubs pound for pound at the moment it should happen. But we're masters at farking the simple things up.

If that's how you show your love then I'd hate to be your partner.
Of course it's been disappointing I'm sure the club and the players arnt to thrilled with some things also. But your sookiness is ridiculous.
Teams go through patches every year that they wish they didn't. We have shown we can play good footy and Good teams come out the other side and march on stronger which I for one think we most definitely will do. The way you carry on is as if we are the worst team in the league and that we are never allowed to ever have a reason for a poor performance. I'd hate to have the glass empty outlook you do. I sure hope it's only footy you view things like that

Please no more Hardingham up forward. DO NOT BRING IN.

Doesn't VFL team need to play before this thread can exist?


Since when does on field form factor into the blitz changes thread?
Out: stanton, hooker

Fkg Stanton

Isn‘t Merrett mostly a forward nowadays? Our gorilla will take care of him.

I haven't seen them play this year, so I assumed he'd play back  :unsure:

 

The main point is that he'll be beaten wherever he plays, and I hope we don't put up with his cheap shots.

Don’t care who comes in really our biggest problem is our friggin forward line…if it wasn’t for our awesome defence we would have lost the doggies game. Bomber please don’t play a forward line again that has three blokes with less than 20 games experience up there!!!

Please no more Hardingham up forward. DO NOT BRING IN.


BRING HIM IN
