Essendon’s round 23 team
Backs : Jayden Laverde, Michael Hurley, Brandon Zerk-Thatcher
Half-backs : Mason Redman, Jake Kelly, Jordan Ridley
Centreline : Sam Durham, Darcy Parish, Dyson Heppell
Half-forwards : Matt Guelfi, Dylan Shiel, Nic Martin
Forwards : Peter Wright, Jake Stringer, Archie Perkins
Followers : Sam Draper, Zach Merrett, Jye Caldwell
Bench : Massimo D’Ambrosio, Nick Hind, Zach Reid, Andrew McGrath
Emergencies : Menzie, Phillips, Hobbs, Ham
In : Hurley, Reid
Out : Langford (injured), Bryan (omitted)
Last week’s medical sub : Hobbs (unused)
so we get smashed by a rubbish team in Port, and players once again aren’t held accountable
No hobbs, no Voss,no Menzie
When Rutten ever wonders why he lost his job, it’s selections like these that cost him. Only one more game left to go of this dud

Rutten probably doesn’t give a sheet at the moment.

Amazed that there are only two changes this week. How did Menzies & Hobbs miss after that horrible performance?
No accountability for the effort last week. This is 100% what is wrong with the club.
Having said that perhaps there were some others matters on their mind so they might have forgotten what happened last weekend

we need competitors after last week.
so we bring in a cooked Hurley albeit sentimental last game and a skinny giraffe as a kid.
Hobbs watch on from the bench again, Menzies and Voss will watch on from the stands,

It’s a pretty second order consideration this week but, given what happened last week, that’s a rather disappointing team.
No room for Menzie again FFS.

Rutten protecting his mates by completely burning others who should take their spots.
Enormous thumbs up.

Pretty disappointing that some heads haven’t rolled. I don’t get why Menzie is not in.

They don’t need a last minute match winner obviously.
It’s worth trying Hind again at HF as he can find space around high HF and hit up a forward. Will be good to look at Reid playing forward. With Guelfi, Mass & Hind playing forward there was no space for menzies.
We’ll go ok this week and if we tackle like maniacs and do some defensive running we might even win.
