Bombres are soooo slow!

Hope we go in small and exploit this, can't see Boyd playing, don't really want him too tbh.

We will run them off their legs and win by over 6 goals.

Go scraggers!
 
The same way we're planning to stop hooker and Carlisle with an undersized defence.

I wouldn't be going in tall with Hurley out. One of redpath or Boyd to play each week, and that's it for mine. Crameri, stringer and Dickson are our match winners up there. Don't want them crowded by slow talls.
That's not a bit of self-interest at work there is it, Fronk? ;)
 
Didn't look slow against Port last week... Last few weeks you're looking a lot better in that area, better all over imo....
i didnt see the game. I saw the high scores but was that a result of speed or no defense?

Carlisle, Melksham, Cooney and Pears would be taking pace out of that side you would think.

Im surprised essendon are adding that experience tbh.
Season is gone, play the kids.

Carlisle straight back in after 2 months off.....why are they risking him??

Anyway its certainly a more experienced side and we will have a game on our hands

We look like a faster team when Zaka is up and running which he was last week, missing Colyer badly too but lately it hasn't been too bad. Playing a more free flowing game so this game should atleast be entertaining

Dogs unchanged as expected.

Essendon In: Cooney, Giles, Melksham, Carlisle.
Out: Howlett, Hurley, McKernan, Edwards

Smells like desperation Bombers, come on Doggies!
 
It just dawned on me that we've got all of Campbell, Crameri, Deadeye and to a lesser extent JJ playing against them. Glorious. Eat that Bombers!
 
Underestimate Essendons midfield at your peril guys, they're only missing Watson.

They still have Heppell, Zaharakis, Goddard, Z Merrett, Stanton etc

Stanton and Heppell in particular have hurt us before
And of course Daniher has spanked Talia before and Carlisle kicked 8 last year....with such a small backline there is no doubt Hird will try and expose this....and you are spot on they still have real quality in the middle
 
On the plus side, Campbell should win the ruck but Giles will try to work him over. Bring your A-game & be ready for the tough stuff Tommy!
 
Very worried about this game.
Clearly there will be an emphasis on quick ball movement due to the undersized backline, but just think Essendon are one of those teams we cannot bury. Knowing the dogs this will be the game we lose.
 
Not as pessimistic as most, think this is a game we should win and all being fair there is no excuse not too. We lose it's cause our players haven't turned up to play imo. (All being fair meaning no early injury or more than one injury throughout the night)
