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

[eth-dog]

Sydney don't have any great pack marks that we should be worried about though, especially if Cameron gets dropped and Sinclair plays solely in the ruck. If they had a Hooker-type player in their side, I'd agree we'd be undersized at the back. Franklin is a great one on one player, but I'm hoping our backs can zone off and help each other out.

Longmire has never really been the "one and done" type though. I think they're going to keep him in this week.

Will any player do thier weekly presser after or before training today? didn't have one last week.

I don't even care. Take it to the gambling thread.

That doesn’t sound like gambling at all. Does the system work for horses and blackjack?

Does it involve counting players?

Sydney have had the wood on us lately but we havent played them in Melb since 2014.

We will have a fast side this week so if we can break the lines we will win IMO.

Francis will be interesting. I am hoping we park him in the space Buddy leads to as he is a great intercept mark and penetrating field kick.

I agree, but might be a baptism of fire for Franga - reminds of the old days when teams tried to do the same with Plugger and the ‘space occupant’ invariably came off second-best. The ultimate in bravery

Not sure about dropping Colyer...


Could negate the Sydney runner.

Probably only him or McNeice can make way for McKenna, and for mine McNeice was cleaner and more composed last week against Freeo

[anst1ssa]

Belly suggested (in the presser) that Hooker will start back so we'll assume a defender is to be omitted in Francis place.

Remarkable recovery from McKernan, he really is the saviour!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Surely not

Knowing our luck it's probably true

Runners seem to inadvertently be involved in the contest more than Colyer. Maybe if he tagged one he could find the pill.

 

[Keystone agony]

Not sure really who the back half runners are for Sydney. Zak jones and Lloyd. Lloyd isnt exsctly quick but id like baguley to limit him getting cheap kicks as he can hit a target but not sure guys like Allir, Smith, Grundy if he plays ect are all thst convincing

 

[fishardansin]

Francis and Stringer in .. who is out?

 

[Fridge16]
