Opinion Changes R9 v Norf Melbourne

[TubbsFarquhar]

In: Kelly, Gibbs
Out: B. Crouch, Doedee

Fog given another week with his shoulder "niggle".

Deep down, you know it.

 

[jackster83]

Gibbs for B. Crouch (inj)
Worrell for Doedee (inj)
Schoenberg for Jones
Fog for Himmelberg
Anyone else carrying an injury should be rested given the compressed schedule we're heading into.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

What’s the chance Knight gets back in?

 

[FR0GGY]

You will beat us next week you should have won today and once you get a win you will win about 4 to 5 games for the rest of the year

You’re high as a kite

 

[Redline]

No idea why we went back to Himmelberg... thought Frampton was settling in.

I agree, I do think we have to pick one and just give them four weeks.

 

[hey shorty]

Out: B. Crouch (hamstring), Mackay, Hartigan, Jones, Himmelberg

In: Schoenberg, McHenry, Worrell, Fogarty, Poholke

I don't reckon they'll play Doedee with a 4 day turnaround to the next game. Give him Saturday off and he probably plays Wednesday

Cool, bring in Butts as well then

 

[hey shorty]

Cool, bring in Butts as well then

Happy with that.

Essendon would have won by 60 if they'd kicked 9 more goals and 3 more points.

Thanks for your insight.

Essendon would have won by 60 plus if they kicked straight and didn't have a list full of injuries.

Not complaining they missed shots as there terrible kicking ensured a nice profit on my 1-39 bet but the point is that we should not be happy about running a second string bombers side on an off day to a close loss at home. I saw some vey good positives in some of our players and saw enough in some others to justify a delisting or trade end of year. Club needs a very big off season in the trade and draft.

We could’ve also won by 60 if we didn’t kick any behinds and kicked 19 straight

Can we bring back Sam Gibson for a farewell match against his old team?

 

[1970crow]

Really interesting week for the coaches in terms of selection.

Either we believe that effort was good and we just fell short in an unlucky way. So we back in the boys.

Or we acknowledge that despite playing an experienced team we still aren't good enough to beat a rubbish side and go for more youth.

Big test

Minimum changes, especially with 2 forced.

Out - Brouch (inj), Dood (inj), McAsey
in - Gibbs, Kelly, Poholke/Davis/McHenry

 

[Scorpus]

Just having a look at the schedule, I don't think we'll get even close to winning after R10.

Scheduled to play Collingwood and Bulldogs. Then have to finish off the season playing GWS, Carlton, Hawthorn, Geelong, and Richmond

 

[hendo8888]

Hawthorn at home should be very winnable. They're in just as big a hole as we are. They just haven't started acknowledging it yet.

 

[TRP1996]

Hawthorn at home should be very winnable. They're in just as big a hole as we are. They just haven't started acknowledging it yet.

Umpiring will be interesting if Clarko keeps winding them up.

 

[Coopers]

I think we do need a number of changes - would want to see 5 to 8. And again the next week, lots of young kids, need to manage the very short breaks.

 

[Coopers]

Minimum changes, especially with 2 forced.

Out - Brouch (inj), Dood (inj), McAsey
in - Gibbs, Kelly, Poholke/Davis/McHenry

Blargh. Let's get some of the kids in, have to. Can't waste a bottom placed season playing Kelly and Gibbs (and Mackay and Lynch, etc).

 

[CrowBox89]

Out:
walker & Talia - managed (same day flight to and from qld no good for them) Jones - not upto it
Brouch & doedee - inj
Himmelberg - don’t want to see him again
Lynch - horrible but he will be ‘managed‘ too

In:
Fog, Schoenberg, Kelly, frampton, Gibbs , Davis, butts

brown hartigan laird
Kelly butts McPherson
Hamill Keays Seed
