[WaynesWorld19]

I can’t find a way to get Berry in and it’s pissing me off.

Only way is to drop Kako. Do it?

It's one or the other .....Kako for me

 

[HTPunter]

Berry or Boak will be sub. If no injuries Berry would be a top candidate to be subbed off if Boak starts.

Kako is Essendons best small forward and will be the hungriest to apply pressure in a reasonably tall, slowish forward line.

All the percentages suggest start Kako, correct if needed in 2 weeks

Leake vs Bice vs Paton for D7?

 

[Dan87]

Leake vs Bice vs Paton for D7?

I've slung in Bice but I'm a mad dingo

 

[St Steady]

paton

 

[Jiska]

I’m nervous. Who’s the sub?

 

[blackey]

Two of them . One on one off.

it's a Guess ....Wehr

 

[rocker_oz33]

Dingo took ya baby .

 

[BrutThough]

Anyone got a strong opinion on Hall vs Hastie?

I'd go the half back over the forward in a team where 5 forwards are listed to return in 1-3 weeks. Whereas, no one notable who plays a similar position to Hastie is missing. (so Hastie over Hall).

 

[M_I_G]

rookies going terribly so far, 2 games in. Cmon rest of the week!!
Will likely need to make some corrections

 

[JT_the_Man]

So while the timing isn’t great, the Ridley and Langford injuries open the door for one of Hayes/El-Hawli and Edwards to get call ups next week. I don’t know if Brad will go with two more debutants but these are our best options.

 

[MrChristo]

I reckon one of Lindsay, Langford or Sharp will be a gun pick. Henderson and Johnson less so.

Just don’t know which one. Might leave it for now & pick whichever one is performing best after round 2

I think Lindsay is probably the most likely if he can get a decent run across HB.
(So, big watch on Sunday for me...especially since I'm a bit confused as to why they'd play Langdon and Windsor, but have Sharp on the bench. Is someone expecting low TOG?)

Let’s hope Scott is the spud we all think he is. Rather wait a few weeks before blooding more rookies.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Thoughts on this lot:

Paton, Reid (Prior, Trainor)
FOS, NOD, Tsatas, Knevitt (Hattie, Hewett, Camporeale)
(Boyd)
Berry (Kako, Davidson)

Any one stand out that I’m missing?!

It's not bad. I think henderson will be good value and I think Lindsay will do well and have good JS but those guys plus Max hall are the main decent ones.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Leake vs Bice vs Paton for D7?

Bice can wait till after his bye. I'd probably go Paton for now I think leake and stone are questionable JS.

It's not too bad so far although tsatas better stop butchering the ball or ill trade him out.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Not worried about the rooks. Gonna give them the time they need.

So many times i rage trade and they end up being solid. This year is about...

It’s times like these we all need to remember Judd_Magic and Sir Touk Miller’s first season.

who are people fielding out of stone, davidson, hewett if you have all three? was going stone but weather might not be ideal for a half back. was thinking davidson under the lid tonight

Davidson

Davidson Stone Hewett in that order here

Windsor has been training as a half-back all PS, Sharp will be playing high HF/wing, Lindsay will get some wing time, Langdon will be rotating inside too.

Doesn't sound like we're sticking to just two guys on the wings this year

 

[Shibby_Dons]

Stone & Davidson im fielding. Worried they may manage hewett in this game. If your only fielding 1 then id lean to Davidson, can trust his game time and should hopefully avoid the vest

Windsor playing off half back this year. Langdon rotating through the mids. Plus, team sheets have been irrelevant for more than a decade.
