Now there's an outside the box ruck. Blitz to small forward? Essendon will never see it comingPoor Stengle
I really wish there was a metric for the average amount of space in which the clearance reciever collects the ball.Stoppage clearances were 35-22, and we just shaded them 15-17 in centre clearances, but their clearances were a hell of a lot more damaging than what ours were.
I am honestly happy if they go with Draper Goldstein and 2m Peter. It will make them top heavyBrad been learning from brother Chris and has pulled our leg... Goldstein named.
SDK will get creamed.
Yeah, they were never losing the ruck battle so they basically just added dead weightI am honestly happy if they go with Draper Goldstein and 2m Peter. It will make them top heavy
None of those are in the league of TDK so it will be a bit of a fairer fight. SDK doesn’t have to win he just has to compete
So Brad is a tricky Scott too? Said Goldstein was going to be rested + now he's playing?I am honestly happy if they go with Draper Goldstein and 2m Peter. It will make them top heavy

Ollie Henry clearly not right- out injured again. I think we can cut him some slack. When fit, he offers a lot and is a real nightmare for opposition. Small and medium forwards are always the victims of what goes on upfield- look at Bailey Fritsch at present. Different reasons, but Demons are not great and he is down.I like the changes , both Mulin and O Henry were terrible last week , offered basically nothing
Some are criticising Chris Scott for starting SDK in the ruck last week , yes if Blicavs had started in the ruck , Geel might not have been immediately under the pump
However long term ( or hopefully from this game onwards ) it might prove to be brilliant coaching by Scott , in that SDK ( yes he had the bad facial injury ) but he has played very ordinary football for quite a while now , made quite alot of errors , dropped easy marks , lost concentration and lost his opponent in the process . However his brother was super aggro to him in the ruck contest , that was sustained aggressive football for quite a while , and it might just turn SDK form and career around
He could on SAT night go back to FB and play with purpose ( like he use to ) and thus Blicavs could handle the ruck duties
Which is why we will see a typical Coach Scott late change (Goldstein out!)
Would not be suprised if Goldstein late out. If not they will be too tall for the weather - so we will benefit from Essendon selection table!This has the potential to be another game where we lose at the selection table. Goldstein will monster us. No improvements to our midfield as expected.
Very happy for Humphries to be rewarded though.
I would too if I played under that clicky bastardThats what happens when you sulk in the VFL
I agree with you. But suspect the MC want to find out and he will play full game this week.Rohan can't play a full game. He'll be sub surely
I reckon great idea. And take it one step further….I would also keep him on Stringer when he goes into the middle (about half the time?). I would like to see Stewart in the middle but with a real challenge to not only dim Stringer but to hurt him the other wayThinking about how to get Stewart going this weekend. I’d put him on Stringer. People forget Stew is an excellent 1-1 defender. If he keeps Stringer goalless that’d be a big win for the team. And TBH I don’t believe any other defender has the mix of strength and pace to get it done.
Wonder if he still has the hunger and physical capacity to play like no tomorrow. He has looked slower and flat, to an extent.Thinking about how to get Stewart going this weekend.

Goldstein will monster us, and Draper will monster us. But they can't both monster us at the same time. I kind of feel like they're losing a rotation for little benefitThis has the potential to be another game where we lose at the selection table. Goldstein will monster us.

No mannagh is stupid but predictable given his trade papers are stamped.
Knevitt in is an improvement (he better not be sub) and hopefully he stays in for the year now.
Swapping mullin for humphries is overdue.
But what the hell is tuohy doing staying in when hes cooked?
Equally i dont agree with leaving conway in the vfl when the bombers are playing 2 rucks.
Oconnor and rohan can count themselves lucky.
I don't think you need to name Rohan to know that though, but I guess we'll seeI agree with you. But suspect the MC want to find out and he will play full game this week.
So far this year I think they have been disciplined and named the sub from the name interchange bench…. So if they keep this up it will be one of Bowes, Clark, Duncan, Knevitt or MOC.
I hope they don’t bring Knevitt in as sub and I reckon they might want MOC as a tag option?
For Bowes sake I hope he isn’t sub either as he needs to redeem himself.
I reckon it could be Duncan given age but not sure he is an impact player….
So by process of elimination (mostly by hope!) I get to Clark as sub…
I think we've graduated to fatalismJust here for the ruck melts
No need for that. We will win this.I think we've graduated to fatalism
Fatalism on the ruck specifically.No need for that. We will win this.
