I watched the Bombers vs Eagles game yesterday, and FMD it would be great if Mayne could play like Crameri. He has everything else Crameri does - marking, ground level skills, and probably better tackling pressure. But his shots on goal are terrible. Crameri had a shot for goal in the same range and angle Mayne did, and just went back and slotted it.

He's got some leg on hime that boy.

See the one from 60?
 
Ballantyne could be the key. If he plays Dockers go in favourites. If he's out more like even money. We have a habit of getting beaten by a player running amok with ten minutes of brilliant football, Reimers did it yesterday and Goodes a couple of weeks ago. The players most likely to do that to us this week are Balla and Hill. One of them missing makes the likelyhood of that happening a little less.
Having said that I have learnt not to be too optimistic in the last couple of years and wouldn't be putting any of my hard earned on the Eagles.

Yep. Just utter confidence, the difference is plain to see. So many of the Essendon players lined up calmly and put it through, it was absurd.

Almost every single player for us doesn't want to take the shot. I firmly believe it is because the forward line spends so much time concentrating on how to generate goals at ground level from forward pressure, and as such, finding a player in a better position is preferred over taking a ping at the goals yourself.

If Pavlich was full time down there and calmly slotted 2-3 goals per game, there'd at least be some leadership and direction in the forward line. Instead, it's leaderless. Every forward line player wants to pass the buck.

McPharlin on Kennedy
Grover on Lynch
???? on Darling

I know he is only a first year player but who is going to be our third tall to go with Darling. Normally you'd just chuck Silvagni on him but do we put Broughton on him.

Also with no Tarrant who goes to LeFrenchmaid ? Tarrant has dominated him the last 2 years. I'd go with Broughton personally.


Reckon you'll start your defenders the other way around

Grover on kennedy (as he's been playing deep) and mcpharlin on lynch with the intentionto hurt him going the other way.

Think MJ would take the resting ruckman - as neither are great aerialists - so you'd be hoping he could take them at ground level.

Darling's an interesting one - McPhee a candidate

Not a chance. We're the best team in the comp at being the worst shots.

The stats don't lie.
Ignoring all stats, we WILL NOT enter another argument about who is worst and who is terrible..

That's because you know you would win Biggie!

You would win at being the worst at everything! ;)
 
West Coast might be a bit bruised after the Bombers clash.

Were spent after half time.

Hopefully Masten comes in to compliment Priddis.
