Might be time to look at the balance of that forward line. Not sure how much longer we can continue to carry Pete, he’s not doing anything Caddy couldn’t do.
Story of missed opportunities. Need to take our chances or they’ll pounce.
Sick of seeing draper only attempt chest marks. His weapon is height and it completely nullifies it.
Given we're coming off a 13 day break the only acceptable outcome here is a win.
Would like to Hayes given a run to play on Darcy, most likely at the expense of Laverde.
Hoping we only make minimal changes;
In - Redman, Parish
Out - Wright, Laverde
Go with a smaller forward line & have Hind play a defensive forward role on NWM.
I'd go Hobbs as the sub. Looked pretty average last week but hopefully he bounces back soon.
I'd go in with a smaller forward line rather than rush Jones or Caddy in sooner than we should.
We spent half of 2023 with Langford & the resting ruck as the main talls. Less height but more pressure against a saints HB line that loves to run.
I don't have any major issues with the early call on Munkara, it's disappointing but he couldn't have shown much less at VFL level. Not the case with Voss and to a lesser degree Montgomery though.
This is disappointing. Only at Essendon can you win a VFL best and fairest as a 19/20 year old then get delisted.
Jaiden Hunter better come good now (assuming we retain him now).
Not the end of the world to lose Mass for nothing. He never held much value so wouldn't have been much more than a 3rd rounder at best which don't have a lot of use for us.
Jackson Hately delisted. What happened to him? He was a pretty highly rated in his draft year. His decision to force his way back to Adelaide doesn’t seem to have aged very well.
Given the apparent interest in him from other clubs you would assume he has been given a strong indication from the coach that he is set to play more seniors moving forward.
I don't mind us recruiting some senior ruck depth but it should not be at the expense of Bryan getting games. It's time...
