Preview Changes vs. Essendon

[Dancing Potato]

BIG CHANGES ARE AFOOT Topkent

 

[Dancing Potato]

 

[Grimey Sylvia]

Out: Salem, Viney, Sharp, JVR, Petty
In: Lever I guess. who the **** cares.

*Assuming Lindsay and Mcvee won't be ready

 

[Charlie_s123]

Yep, JVR and Petty have to go ... can't seem to win a contest to save their lives. Doesn't matter who comes in at this point

 

[mrmonkey]

JVR needs to go back to gain some confidence. Sharp can't stay in the team with that performance, not that it matters because I don't think there's much out there to replace him. Could reward Laurie but it's basically deck chairs.

Honestly don't care. As long as we keep losing and the pressure keeps mounting that's all that matters.

 

[schmuttt]

My god there is some absolute trash on the list.

Billings
Sharp
Fullarton
Laurie
Sparrow
Viney (Sorry Jack but you are cooked)
Melksham
Woewodin

Guys like Bowey, JVR, Turner, Jeffo, Adams, Johnson are likely not to make it either. Absolute no ideas on Mentha, Henderson, AMW. That is a staggeringly bad list IMO, with the older guys playing the way they are we are a lock for bottom 4 for probably at least three years.

 

[melbun]

In defence of our backline. There was not much pressure from the midfield.

 

[Lord Nev]

Fritsch and Petty should be first on the bus to Casey, but you just know they won't be.

Spargo for Billings or something like that is what Goody will think will fix us.

 

[jhong]

Does it matter. Just pluck some names out of a hat .

 

[melbun]

Melk looked like he is playing one season too many.

 

[wingersclub]

Out: Fritta Roo Viney Salem Petty Melksham

In: Lindsey Fullarton Brown Adams and anyone else idc

 

[Mich0]

Bring Laser in for **** sakes. He got 32 and a goal last week in the 2s, then dipstick Goodwin brings in Spargo instead who had 1 touch after being sub.

 

[Topkent]

Saw Gawns spot on the Ms titled 'Gawn embracing adversity of Dees'

Now I know this is some rehashed corporate bullshit about staying positive, embracing challenges and loving the journey

But seriously, **** off. I sort of understand that in a corporate world if you have a tough week coming up or whatever but sport isn't much of a muchness with it, sometimes you wanna hear the coach/captain say yeah you know what we were shit and we need to fix it, I haven't been good enough and neither have some others.

I don't wanna hear my 0-4 side talking about how much they love how they're struggling and they'll be better people for it. **** you you tone deaf campaigners

Would love to see Viney and Salem dropped but we all know Goody won't drop his beloved senior players.

So this is the best I can hope for.

In: Sestan, Laurie, Fullarton
Out: Petty, Sharp, Spargo,

Turner to play defence, with Fullarton given a chance after a big VFL game.

Sestan has been doing well in the VFL and is a very good kick. Allows Riv to play mid.

Laurie has to be given a few games to see if he's up to it.

If Lindsay is fit he comes in too.

totally unfair on Sparrow. One of our best this year. And was one of our best again yday with his tagging job on Holmes.

Agree. Everyone here loves to kick Sparrow but there have been a lot worse performers over the four weeks than him. Here's just a few:

Oliver (30 possessions of absolute trash)
Salem
Viney
JVR
Petty
Rivers

 

[melbun]

To minimize next weeks flogging:

OUT -
Oliver
Salem
Melksham
Viney
JVR
Sharp

IN -
Lindsey, Laurie, Brown, Sestan, Mentha, Woewodin

I will leave it at six changes so we don't upset the team balance.

On the coaching front:
OUT - Goodwin
IN - Longmire

Bombers by 71

 

[Topkent]

Essendon used to be my most hated team after they way the abused us in every way in the 2000 granny. Poor Greeny getting his jaw broken by Dean Wallis, Longs hit on Simmonds one of the most violent hits you'll ever hear and see.


I'll forgive that all if they win by 100 this week

They won’t win by 100 because Goodie will use 3 of our forwards to tag and another 1-2 to play as a spare down back while instructing the blokes to flog it down the line and create contest all match,

Every now and then we will win one and boot it to Spargo at full forward on his own against 3-4 defenders.

His whole game plan now is purely to just lose by less, he has no interest in winning otherwise he would have evened up the ****en numbers last night in the last quarter when we were only down by 2 goals.

Have all the players put their name in the hat. Match committee draws out 22 names on midday Thursday.

Maybe do it on a livestream for fan engagement and to plug our sponsors, have Robbo and Schwarz host it or something.

It will be the only way Salem, JVR, Petty and Fritsch do not get a game, unless lady luck intervenes!

 

[Mich0]

Essendon will be keen to pound us into the turf so they get pick #1

 

[melbun]

Ugly: Oliver when chasing reminding me of a hamster on a wheel. The legs are pumping up and down but he's not moving.

 

[Toump Ass]

Jvr is literally the worst forward in the AFL.

Would prefer AJ.

I have him ahead of the geriatric Melksham who looks like he can’t even jump, run or tackle anymore.

He can grab a chest mark though!
