Preview Round 10 - Dreamtime at the G - Essendon FC vs Richmond FC - Saturday 20th May 7:40

[Cold Sober]

Well we will certainly get a good look at Caldwell, Hobbs and Perkins for the next month through the midfield...

Hopefully

 

[Cold Sober]

Never seen a team fumble so much yet still been competitive.

[MattyB3150]

I think the only way we win this game is if Stringer has a blinder which is probably a 1 in 5 chance?

 

[Mikevk123]

In- Ridley, Bryan, Snelling, Wanganeen
Out- Menzie, Hind, Phillips, Setterfield

B Ridley BZT McGrath
HB Redman Baldwin D’Ambrissio
C Martin Caldwell Merrett
HF Langford Stringer Perkins
F AMT Weideman Davey
FOLL- Draper Hobbs Shiel
I/C- Heppell, Durham, Bryan, Snelling
Sub- Wanganeen

 

[cAsEy_18]

We're pretty much out of midfielders outside of the team to replace Setterfield, yeah? Going to have to come from guys already within the team - Hobbs, Caldwell etc... which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

OUT: Menzie, Setterfield, D'ambrosio
IN: Ridley, Wanganeen, Davey (into 22)

 

[Nifft]

With the number of outs we have, you'd think Snelling and Guelfi would have to be a chance. It seems they want to persist with Menzie, but I think a run in the 2's would help his confidence.

Also Hind should be out. Maybe he could be sub, but I don't like his brain fades and giving away 50s.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

The dread I've been feeling is slowly turning to backs against the wall vibes...kinda like the covid ravaged game against Hawthorne.

Will be my first Dreamtime match. Man I want to beat these pricks...

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Going to feel the Kelly Lav losses. Park Martin forward and he'll kick a bag. Midfield looks too light on as well.

No?

Nah Dusty is just getting warmed up, he loves the Dreamtime games.

The reason I asked -

Wouldn't read too much into it, we've had strange things all year with that - guys training away from the main group, guys doing non-contact at certain sessions and still be fine/play.

Fair enough. Good player Redman. Under rated.

Enjoy the pre match stuff!

 

[JT_the_Man]

Two weeks ago I was very confident that we’d be breaking the drought in this one… Not as much now, but I’m still pretty hopeful despite our injury list.

 

[DallasCrane316]

 

[TheGrizz]

Would have preferred Wanganeen to Menzie, otherwise fair enough.

 

[andleanback]

Of course nank is back

That is out of caution for the rest of the team.

 

[nipst@r]

Surprised by lack of changes after 4 straight losses would have liked to see Byran in for Phillips and hind/Menzie out.

Hoping Langford plays forward but of we need to start him back shows Montgomerie was maybe worth a run as well.
Hind could be sub in that case.

 

[fishardansin]

They are missing Hopper too, but without Parish and Settefield, we'll be struggling to win a clearance and spending a lot of time in the back half.

They are also dealing with the grim reality that they're a lot crapper than they (and me) expected them to be this year. We're easy pickings for them to take their frustrations out on. I hope it doesn't get too ugly.

Don’t really need langford to play back, as they’ve kept Baldwin it. We’ve got our 3 talls

I wouldn't be so sure. Cats even without Danger and Guthrie still spanked us in that regard.

Don't think Brad likes Snelling
