Preview Collingwood vs Essendon, ANZAC Day @ Melbourne Cricket Ground, 2:40PM

Would be hoping for something like this.

Not sure if Melksham will be dropped though

Yep, Melksham won't be dropped. Not playing great but is still doing some nice things and will be given the opportunity to regain his form.

 

[Halftimehero]

Fire a few shots at the AFL. Anything to get the media all riled up. Worked a charm for round 1....

Probably shouldn't post what I was thinking

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Probably shouldn't post what I was thinking

Is it of a Japanese variety?

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Is it of a Japanese variety?

And here I am, thinking it would be hard to leave me speechless through asynchronous communication.

 

[BRANXDON]

And that little chip pass by NLM to set up Zaka.

how about before zaka's goal when lovett burst through the middle and in the wet it fell through to a running jetta but he fumbled it through for a point, that was heartbreaking at the time, thought that was over after that, then ZAHARAKISSSSSS

 

[fishardansin]

Ok I saw Doc Reid's clip.

In: Goddard, Bellchambers, Winderlich, Ambrose, class & desperation
Out: Daniher, Ashby, Jetta, Gleeson, lethargy & skill errors

Personally I can't see JD getting dropped before Carlisle, JD has already spent a year playing forward in the VFL, maybe Carlisle needs a couple of games learning down there...

How in the blue moon is Gleeson getting dropped? Bellchambers isn't match fit and that team is way too top heavy.

Yes lets drop Carlile...afterall he was recruited as a ruck/forward wasn't he? Oh and he was BOG 2 games ago against Hawthorn....but yes lets drop him after getting smashed by Sandilands (won't be the last one there)

Surely Carlisle needs to harden up. It's a privilege to play AFL footy and Jake needs to embrace his role. Hurley played forward with reasonable success, but one couldn't question his committment to the cause. it seems that Bomba is on the save wavelength ass me with Carlisle's work-rate !

I found JM's post very interesting discussing how Bomber must balance the short term and the long term. And he noticed Carlisle's faltering workrate and JD dropping marks.

To a point I agree but surely one must severely consider that playing ruck (with virtually no experience apart from being tallish) is different to KP forward or back. If he had the same workrate as a forward I'd be the first to question his commitment to the team but until that, he stays in.

 

[jsd09]

would be very disappointed if we brought Ambrose back in, you don't bring in a kid who's played 2 games and is now match available after 3 weeks with an injury as good as he has been, Bellchambers is a more likely tall that will be brought in but he likewise has an element of risk associated with him playing after a half at VFL level… they'd really have to back the fitness he has been doing in the pool and on the bike to at least get 3 quarters through the match to then be subbed with a Z.Merrett .

Goddard is detrimental to our structure & pray his available and ready to go.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ambrose was critical in our wins, provided that 2nd key marking target plus he showed he can crumb goals. He will be a better forward than Jetta at least!

 

[Eleven 38]

All I said was if someone has to make room for TBC i reckon it should be Carlisle, not JD. The coach even said he's not working hard enough. So if JD is working harder he deserves his spot.

 

[AlexEss]

Goddard is detrimental to our structure.

yeah ok guy

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I reckon the players were getting too comfortable with Bombas relaxed attitude Bomba realized that's it was having an effect on his players and is now going down the hard line path.

 

[jsd09]

yeah ok guy

Really detailed rebuttal.. guy, for some further clarification take note of the carlton game, Goddard was able to play a key forward role which allowed Jobe our #1 forward to roam around the middle doing what Jobe does best, on the weekend we had to move Jobe up forward because A. Our forwards were not functioning/providing and B. Goddard wasn't there to send forward to fill that void.

This...one post he says detrimental and the next he explains it as if BJ is critical? Which one is it!

I'd go with critical but thats just me

lol. It would be impervious if we all started sequestering words into our sentences where they didn't obviate.

Right, so my english isn't so great.. my apologies but questioning my age when your original response was 'yeah, ok guy' might be time to have a look at yourself mate.
