Preview Essendon Bombers v Sydney Swans Saturday 6th July @ MCG 1:45 PM

[The King!]

I like Aliir in the ruck but he is top 3 most valuable players, we’d be utterly screwed if he got injured.

he could get injured competing for a mark as much as jumping in the ruck, its football

 

[The King!]

i dont get wanting to pick someone not worth a spot to jump in the ruck

He could sleep in, that’ll keep him out of the side longer!

Rucks more prone, you know that

If any of our "talls" (AA, Reid, McCartin, Melican) is injured we are screwed. Looks like we are putting a soccer team out there this week.
I hope they play McCartin back, AA in the ruck and Reid up forward for 75% of the game - no way we kick a score otherwise.
I'd put 500 on Clarke's instruction being to give AA or Reid an early corkie if at all possible. The knees will be flying in. If they land, we lose. If they don't AA could be a weapon running off Clarke.

Reckon hes on the good list now Mick, but learnt his lesson, nothing wrong with setting a standard that needs adherence from all

Exiling someone for a whole season to the detriment of the team is not a lesson, it’s just being stubborn.

No idea, in swans speak, no one left besides a newbie

Round 16 already feels like the season has flown by.

Except that didn't happen so....

FYI

 

[DST]

I reckon Cunningham has been set to play a run with/negating role on one of their two quick running half backs.

Think Jose Horsey learned his lesson

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Longmire tragically underrated both Allir and Dawson.

How many games has Sinclair missed again with injury until now? He's been pretty durable in my opinion.

He knows how to protect himself. A Mumford would just lay out Allir who is clueless

A week or two off, yeah. Punishing him to greater extent was a little over the top. That was not Longmire the player manager! This is off topic anyway.

Been put through the ringer has sinkers and stood up no doubt, just hope reid and allir get through

Except you don’t compete for a mark 60-80 times a match

Agreed but all worked out in the end, resigned etc, maybe ott media stuff

Fairly pointless drafting Knoll and McLean then

 

[Jon Walters]

Swans to down the Bombers by 20
and walk out of the MCG with the head held high

Tommy P for 3 Goals
COR for 30+ Disp

A Depleted team can be a Dangerous team
Lads come in with points to prove and anything can happen

When we were at the Euros - After our draw against Sweeden and a Stonking at the hands of the Belgians
(Never liked their Pale Ales anyway)
We had a make or Break game against the Italians.
I still hadnt recovered from the injury so told Martin not to include me for the game

My thinking was two fold - Big Tractor not starting meant the lads could be fully focused
and know they had to play better than ever to make up for me missing out.

It also meant i could use my natural Wit and Friendliness to Relax everyone.

If we were to beat the Italians one man was Key - Robert Brady
I called to his Hotel room the day before the game 7pm , i dragged him to the Residence bar.
2 Bottles of warm Smithicks off the shelf.
I started Singing Songs and telling Stories
Somewhere after the 15th Créme de Menthe and Baileys and 4th rendition of Fairytale of New York
Bobby slipped off to Bed - it was 6am
I knew he was relaxed

85th minute - Wesley sends a peach into the Box - Bobby Bangs it home
BOSH - straight off his Bonce.
Crowd Erupts it woke me from my Slumber on the Bench - Best Hangover of my Life
