Preview Essendon vs Sydney, Docklands, Friday 27/07/18 @ 7:50 PM

[Stopher]

WGAF about previous history, etc etc.

Essendon are just chugging along collecting wins and Sydney faltering last week (yet moved into the top 4, go figure LOL) sets up a great Friday night clash where both teams have everything to play for.

Can't wait.

He seemed to play more back line against Freo?

Guelfi?

Yeah, appeared so to me also.

Last week means nothing for us, We should expect their best regardless of how they played vs the Suns.

Feel like you missed the tone of my post

Buddy broke the game open on Ambrose off one leg last time.

Not sure Buddy broke that game open as much as we were absolutely crushed around the ground, hardly winning clearances or getting the ball inside 50.

Probably.

We were, what, 10 points down at QT? He kicked 3 goals in 5 minutes after that and we were done.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Payback for the final would be great

Outs;
- Shaun McKernan (injured - hamstring)
- Trav Colyer (omitted)

Ins;
- Jake Stringer (if fit)/ James Stewart
- James Stewart

Baguley was good. If anything, Guelfi appears to be slowing down imho

Commentators seemed to be suggesting that Baguely was playing with an injury during the game.

Having 2 Stewart's out there will be handy. Is the second supposed to be Long/Hartley/Laverde/Francis?

haha didnt even realise!

 

[eth-dog]

haha didnt even realise!

But seriously, who is it supposed to be?

 

[Shanghaistu]

A bit worried the umpires will be a big factor again on Friday night. If the AFL has given the umpires license to be biased against us in games against West Coast, Collingwood and North, then surely they have even more interest to ‘preserve’ Sydney’s season at our expense? Or, hopefully I’m wrong

Sydney have been bottom 4 in FK differential every year since 2015 and have been in the top 8 for that once since 2004.

Stewart.

 

[Maddogm]

It sounded like an excuse to me.

This sounds like an excuse to me

 

[Keystone agony]

If Goddard is rested, Francis comes in

Dont mind that as long as Hooker plays forward then. I dont see D.Cameron holding his spot after their performance and they only have Buddy and McCartin as the 2 talls

 

[Yoda_]

But seriously, who is it supposed to be?

Stringer for Colyer as a fwd/mid option. I guess Stewart will come in for McKernan (fwd/ruck)

 

[DapperJong]

lol yoda

 

[ant555]

I get the feeling it may be Hooker forward and Hartley in.

Hooker relief ruck?

 

[eth-dog]

Stringer for Colyer as a fwd/mid option. I guess Stewart will come in for McKernan (fwd/ruck)

But then who comes in if Stringer isn't fit?

 

[Keystone agony]

Hooker relief ruck?

M.Brown

 

[Yoda_]

But then who comes in if Stringer isn't fit?

He better be!! hahaha

But seriously, if Stringer isn't fit, then Trav stays in and we just drop McKernan for Stewart with Colyer staying in.
