Preview Round 2: Sydney vs Essendon, SCG, Saturday 23/03/24 @ 7:30 PM

[Squeaky]

'Common sense decision' I believe it was called by Gil the Dill.

If you are saying this to defend the decision not to penalise a bloke who climbed the post padding during a game! - I ask you: what hope have we got?
Laughable...

out: Reid, Redman
in: Laverde, Hind

 

[Blind Turn]

The goal and tackle were fantastic, but he was really poor the rest of the game. First half especially. Contuing over from the end of last year and through the preseason.

I’d rather see Hobbs in the middle, keep Menzie up forward and Caldwell in the VFL for a few games.

Caldwell will be important up in Sydney. I know who I’d prefer at the coalface out of the 2. Caldwell applying 1 percenters in our forward line will be worth a lot more than Menzie kicking a goal and applying minimal pressure.

 

[ghostdog]

In: Draper, Parish, Hobbs, Laverde

Out: H.Jones, Kelly, Menzie, Z.Reid

Mckay, Laverde, Cox, Redman, Mcgrath, Martin, Heppell

Draper, 2MP, Langford, Stringer, Gresham, Caldwell, Guelfi

Duursma, Durham, Setterfield

Goldy, Parish, Zerrett, Perkins, Hobbs

Sub: Hind


Perkins to Heeney

Durham to Gulden

Both tags


Lets not get carried away, we kicked accurately

I like this team.

'Common sense decision' I believe it was called by Gil the Dill.

It was called 'pragmatic umpiring' by Gill.

And who could forget Heeney striking BZT off-the-ball, breaking his own hand in the process and BZT getting reported! They later called his broken hand a 'freak accident' and it was quickly swept under the carpet.

Or Just move Caldwell to HB. He’d be great there

Scott just confirmed on AFL 360 that Guelfi will miss with a calf strain.

 

[andleanback]

Guelfi out likely Hobbs in

Is like poetry.

 

[ghostdog]

Out Guelfi, In ADJ. I'm cool with that.

 

[faible]

So Guelfi, Reid and Redman all forced changes.

If they want to play Cox back they might bring Tsatas in to the 23, Hind for Redman and Hobbs for Guelfi.

<someone> as sub.

Draper probably ready to come back in now as well, and I wonder about what Ridley is up to.

I don’t think it was a good enough win to have no unforced changes next week

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

It's week 2 and we already have a fairly lengthy injury list? What the **** is this club doing for s&c? Because this is an issue every ****ing year.

3 changes in a 4 goal win is already a decent number, most teams don’t to make a whole lot after a win.

Jones is the obvious one to come out for Draper or Caddy but they might give him another week to sort himself out before that.

Like this!

We need less talls and more run for SCG size ground.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

are deez clowns gonna stop drenching the ground before the game now that they have some speed?

I like this, with the exception of Jones. His confidence is shot. He's not getting that back in an away game against Sydney.
Jones out and Draper in for me.

Get the lube. Prep the bums.

nice
but i think if Menzie is dropped + Guelfi out, we'll likely name Hind as starter.
So maybe Hobbs or Tsatas = sub.

i like the idea of duz on wing with the quality sydney have out there. Maybe even look to move Merrett out there too
and run with Parish, setterfield, perkins, hobbs and caldwell on-ball as core.

I'd like to see Duursma more HF. think we're missing a trick with his mobility and goal nous.
also, i wanna see some arrows on the SCG.

since when do we get lube for this one?

 

[MiguelM]

Not saying I think we will win but ALL the pressure is on the Swans.

There are zero expectations on us getting close. Pressure early might get them nervous!

 

[justlookingaround]

out: Reid, Redman
in: Laverde, Hind

I feel like there's unlikely to be an unforced change among 3 forced changes unless Parish is ready... listening to Scott in the offseason they won't play anyone, specifically Draper, if they're not 100%
Out: Reid, Redman, Guelfi
In: Laverde, Hobbs, Hind - Tsatas sub again?

Cox roaming back, Kelly covers Redman off hb, Durham splits time centre/wing, Hobbs inside, Hind half fwd

Pressure them early and they know the pressure will soon stop so they'll be fine
