he may start his own religion if he manages to turn the corner.... and he'll remember your support

That religious gathering will consist of 6 believers, the Brown family and JMc

That sound more like one of those cults that dont end well

Is beer permitted in this cult ? Your the founding member of this non denominational gathering , you set the agenda and the doctrinal framework.

 

[grayza2018]

What's the weather looking like for Sunday? I'd keep Henry as the sub personally, with no VFL game on. If we lose a mid rotation we can swing Billy in there a bit more, not totally ideal but could work

Id say if Jmac is a founding member beer is mandatory

Beer is compulsory. For bathing, washing dishes and drinking. It’s the very fabric that binds the faithful together. Until the day of the great gathering when we drink for three days and explode in an organism of IPA glory.

The Vikings love a beer but skimp on the shout. Tight arses.

i thought you would fit in just fine

 

[Mollythedolly]

Thats what you get for being 17th last year. But I suspect this will change in next years fixture.

Not sure that would be a factor given they've released the draw on the run this year.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Is it just my imagination but I feel like we play sweet fa Friday and Saturday night games?

Finishing 17 will be part of the reason.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Changes as expected.

Bianco was better than Carmichael last week and has a greater chance of securing a spot if his form continues.

In all likelihood he makes way when JDG returns, but if he builds on last week it's tough to leave him out. Correct call that he's the one to get the extra opportunity ahead of Carmichael.

Pretty subjective assessment really. Different rather than better IMHO. Bianco an extra 25% TOG for 4 less possessions, but his ball use was really good compared to Carmichael. Would come down to roles within the team, Bianco the outside runner, Carmichael smashing bodies at the coal face.

Some of Biancos handballs out of congestion were brilliant

Finally, a use for IPA.

 

[JuniorB]

Id say if Jmac is a founding member beer is mandatory

Only if it's an IPA.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

It’s less thin than last week

Huh? Adams just replaced Carmichael. IQ & Ruscoe doesn’t change our clearance / midfield.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

The age is smoking some crack then,
Carmichael scored a nice goal and had a couple of nice kicks when he got space but was otherwise average. Spent most of the game hack soccering it out of the stoppage. 24 kicks no handpasses isn’t a good thing for an inside mid.

Adams is a massive upgrade on Carmichael

On a couple of occasions he hit players with 20m handballs, who were streaming through the middle and they didn’t have to break stride!

While I can understand the rationale behind this weeks selection I'm still uneasy about having such a great young talent in Henry out of the 22.

The retention of Bianco is an interesting one and if he can back up his performance from last week I can't help but feel him and WHE are essentially playing the same role and they'll be fighting it out to see who gets retained when De Goey is right to return or if we decide to change up the mix.

His lack of pace still worries me on a dry day against a fast moving Essendon.
