Bombers to field VFL side vs Port

[High Ryder]

ESSENDON
B: Welsh, Michael, Fletcher,
HB: Houli, Ryder, Reimers
C: Monfries, Watson, Dyson
HF: Slattery, McPhee, Lovett
F: Lloyd, Hille, Lovett-Murray
FOLL: Laycock, Winderlich, Stanton
I/C: Johns, Nash, Pears, Ramanauskas

That was last weeks team, Myers, Atkinson and Daniher for Rama, Fletcher and Reimers (All out injured) + Winderlich in doubt. Knights also mentioned the potential for another 2 debutants meaning we could have a world record 5! Seriously, we cant be expecting to win with that lineup can we?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Are we allowed to blame injuries yet?

Not that I'm denying that we're shit.

If we blood five first gamers against Port we will get smashed by 100+ points and it WILL be because of injuries. Atleast it will give some more youngsters a chance to get some games into them so it is not a bad thing for the developement of this team.

 

[TylerDurden]

When will Dempsey and Jetta be back?

 

[bomberstomake8]

When will Dempsey and Jetta be back?

dempsey will be back in 8 weeks... got shin splints while in rehabilitation from a hamstring injury, jetta will be back after the break. maybe through vfl

 

[High Ryder]

When will Dempsey and Jetta be back?

Dempsey gone for another few weeks, injured his leg(i think) and Jetta should be be back for the next game vs Sydney..

Were you seriously expecting to win when you had Ramma, Fletcher, Reimers and Winderlich? If so you epitomise the "Glass Half Full" mentality.

Port has a shocking record against us in Melbourne.

anything can happen in footy

 

[Smokin]

Port has a shocking record against us in Melbourne.

huh?

They have beaten us 3 of the last 4 in Melbourne!

We have beaten them once overall in the past 10, and they generally beat us by plenty, home or away!

What stats you looking at?

This may get ugly folks. Probably our worst matchup in the league this mob.

 

[TylerDurden]

That Dempsey news is bad for you guys, and horrendous for my DT....

 

[Pevers-Legend]

I don;t think that is the point - they are all players who have been in the seniors and all bar Reimers seem automatic first choices. So yes that is a big hit for us - especially when one of them is still one of our best 5 players.

I wasn't just talking about this week.

 

[mattie55]

Bring in Bellchambers, give him a go surely it would be worth developing him rather than laycock

 

[Underdog]

Are you sure? That sounds bizarre

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Are you sure? That sounds bizarre

Yep, shin splints, stress fracture whatever you like to call it.

I think our medical staff is being run by Dr Nick Riviera!

You can add Peverill (as one of our possible replacements) to those who won't be playing... broken jaw apparently.

So that's

Lucas
Fletcher
McVeigh
Davey
Dempsey
Jetta
Lonergan
Reimers
Rama
Pev
Winderlich
Gumby

all out

Man that sucks.

Weirdly, the game you did win was in the year we won the premiership.

I must have been confusing them with Freemantle!

 

[DapperDon]

Port has a shocking record against us in Melbourne.

Mate, if there is one team that hasn't got a shocking record against us it's Port. They own us big time, in Melbourne or in Adelaide it doesn't usually matter.

 

[DapperDon]

You could be thinking of Adelaide, they have never beaten us in Melbourne and Fremantle only have once I believe.

Take 4 out of 5 most important players out of any team and they will struggle to win a game, i don't care what anybody says.

 

[Jaymin]

I was hoping they were changing out fixture from Port Adelaide to Port Melbourne.
