Stevaux reporting Carlisle in doubt with a neck injury.

Stevaux reporting Carlisle in doubt with a neck injury.

Essendon and it's posters in general are confident he'll play, was briefly hospitalised a few nights ago after training mishap pinched something in the neck or something like that.

I'm expected Carlisle to miss with McKernan to come in. Kind of hope it happens tbh, want to see McKernan!

How's his VFL form?

You poor thing , having to watch McKernan play for Essendon

 

[Mningasimisonda]

Would've tipped Essendon for this, but now I think it will probably depend how WADA appeal affects the players.

 

[Ashton Agar]

How's his VFL form?

Very very good. He's clearly IMO been our best across the 4 rounds.

 

[eth-dog]

How's his VFL form?

Averaging 15 hitouts and 19 disposals, with only 55% playing time last week being held over for Carlisle.

I doubt he was held over for Carlisle, as he only did the injury on Wednesday.

TBH l was waiting for the mods to edit the title like they almost always do.

Big crowd expected tonight. Looking forward to what should be a good contest. I'm tipping North after the bad news for the Bombers this week which may have had a deflating affect. This is the sort of game where the Roos disappoint though all too often.

Roos by 15 points.

Fixed that for you.

But on topic.

The team who can't defend anyone (North) vs. the team who can't score against anyone (Essendon).

I think the difference between Norths Attack and our Attack is better than the difference between their defense and our defense.

North by 13 points.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Carlisle out, Mckernan in.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I'm worried about this game. I didn't think Essendon were that bad against Freo, particularly early. Conversely we were horrible last week and really only got on top on the back of Richmond clangers, 6 of our 7 goals in the 3rd quarter from turnovers.

So I hope we win, but wouldn't be surprised if we lost.

Pretty sure the game was over at quarter time. Freo took the foot off the pedal late and let them back in.

Essendon can be dangerous in these games (when they've dominated the news all week) but I think you should be too good for them.

I agree that we SHOULD be too good for them, but who knows which North will turn up tonight.

Hopefully the good one!!

 

[BACCS]

Haha, Mckernan, oh dear

Doesn't matter now, the Bombers have selected Mckernan

 

[Fyfetheknife]

Bombers by 12. Lock it in.

Look Ma! I caught meh a feesssh!
