I used to call Watson Jobey Wan or Neo in his prime. The way he gathered the ball and distributed it in traffic made it look like he had matrix time.
 
Needs to throw hooker back to preserve percentage. If they brought fridge in forward, would have been ideal setup. Then get green or Colyer to tag Betts.

Hope the players are not taking a defeatist attitude into this game.

Bookies have Essendon reasonably tight at $3.65. They are expecting a 25 point margin.
 
Their midfield really isn't that good - better than ours but hardly a class above.

Just sit on Sloane. Annoy him. Niggle him. Time to stand up for our colours. Brad and Matt Crouch are OK but no better than Zaharakis and Parish.

We can do this but I just can't fathom how our coaches would let Sloane free. His influence is the single most important determining factor to tonight' game.

Matt Crouch is a sneaky chance for the Brownlow now... bit better than ok
 
I am going to be mightily pissed if we let Sloane run free. Still think Bird should have played ahead of Howlett for that reason alone.

We let Zorko run free I want to see us learn from our mistakes, maybe Goddard can get the job on him.

Also I just did the ladder predictor and tonight is almost a must win sadly.

To be fair those Crouch boys are bloody good players

Re your ladder predictor, if we lose, which team will replace us in the 8?

Agree about Sloane, Zorko, Rich etc. Howlett went ok on Murphy. Don't think Goddard has the word tag in his dictionary.

Melbourne. But if saints can beat them I think we are in.

Goddard tagged Pendles this year and JPK late in the game

Crouch is in all Australian form and has been better than Sloane. Class above Zaka and Parish .

Obviously this is a revised gameplan/structure from Woosh.

IF it doesn't work and we are leaking goals due to marks inside their forward 50, MAYBE we will see Hooker go down back.

But there's no way that it's the intention for this game.

We simply have to win it in the middle.

Being defensive to lose by less is the worst possible thing you could do to preserve percentage. A 130 to 90 point loss is far better than a 80 to 40 point loss.

Yep. Goddard's tag on Kennedy got us back into the game... before that kick. My concern, same as everybody's, is how much run and how many goals we lose without Raz, and how much accurate distribution we lose without Zerrett. I'd just as soon see Kelly tag Sloane and get Goddard to step up and distribute more.
