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

[Doss]

Dang- we really need Goddard back.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Reputations can be gained for many reasons.

If it works it works.

The stat that counts is the score on the board. That's what opposition respect.

 

[Halftimehero]

Herald Sun reporting that Dempsey a chance to actually play tomorrow, Surely it would only be as Sub if at all

 

[DapperDon]

I'm driving over from SA - Leaving at midnight tonight.
In the car with i shall have a Hawks and Crows fan, if we lose it is going to be a very LONG TRIP HOME.

Yeah, I'd imagine it would take days for them to walk home.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

The bloke who I'm more concerned about is Dayne Beams. Has flown under the radar somewhat with the superstar Scott Pendlebury doing as he pleases and Dane Swan's vastly improved last fortnight shining over the form that Beams is in.

Averaging 28 possessions, 1 goal a game, 4 I50's,6 tackles a game.

Elite averages if you tell me.

Beams is a ****ing star.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

I am not saying that Carlisle will or should be dropped. But there is no doubt that Bomba isn't impressed with Carlisle's attitude and workrate.

now spelling has never been important to me (lets just say ive never ever needed it in me life, same with maths) but surely its spelt Bomber .
in addition ive got a shocking feelign about this game* i hope im wrong and its just all the grog i smoked last night

Good lord, Jeffrey. You smoked grog?

His nickname was originally, as a kid, Bomba. It sort of morphed into Bomber because he played for Essendon.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

They're polling for the greatest ANZAC Clash on HS.

As great as the finish of '09 is, '95 is still the best game. What a contest.

Yep. Considering the opponents, the occasion, crowd and result, it'd have to rate as one of the best H&A games ever.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I mean, shit, even Derm pops up.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If Goddard misses Demps MUST play, we need some run out of the HB line.

 

[baz_machine]

So IN : Winderlich, Ambrose, Dempsey
OUT : Jetta, Gleeson, Ashby

??

Gleeson will play.

 

[baz_machine]

Gleeson will play.

Who does Ambrose replace? Hardingham? Howlett?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

a forward would be a good start

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Who does Ambrose replace? Hardingham? Howlett?

As below, you don't replace a HB silky mover in Gleeson with a 2nd/3rd tall in Ambrose!

 

[baz_machine]

a forward would be a good start

Going by our last 2 games, I doubt we even have a forward playing

 

[Yoda_]

As below, you don't replace a HB silky mover in Gleeson with a 2nd/3rd tall in Ambrose!

Maybe Howlett who's been playing half forward?

Maybe Ashby as the lowest rung?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Just wonder whether they will name Goddard as an emergency just in case he does come up

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Maybe Howlett who's been playing half forward?

Maybe Ashby as the lowest rung?

Ashby would make a heck of a lot more sense than Gleeson. I like Ashby but Gleeson has been critical in us taking the game on this year. He plays!

Wouldn't you give him (BJ) every chance of playing by naming him in the line up?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Emergency is the same thing, but either one I'm happy with. Point is, I wonder whether we will name him anyway?

 

[Jade]

Essendon FC ‏@EssendonFC 3m
Watson: "I don't think Brendon will play and Tom Bellchambers isn't quite ready either, so I think he will play another week in the VFL."

Ahhhhhhhh f***.

Doesn't look as sue naming him as an emergency.. Would allow him to get into the mindset that he is playing and not having someone like Aylett questioning if he is going to be in the line up until it is too late.

The other way around makes much more sense IMO.

Depends who the player is, but I see your point, I do.
