Preview Round 12- VFL/AFL Founding Member Essendon Bombers vs Relative Newcomer North Melbourne Kangaroos - Sunday, June 4th - 4:40 pm

[ant555]

Durham out . Yeah nah .
Bryan should be given another game .

 

[Don Won]

OUT: Tippa, Durham, Hind, Bryan
IN: Shiel, Kelly, Massimo, 2MP

Team;-

Laverde Zerk Kelly
Redman Ridley McGrath
Langford Merrett Martin
Perkins Stringer Menzie
Weideman 2MP Snelling

Draper Caldwell Hobbs

Shiel Guelfi Massimo Heppell
SUB: Hind or Davey

Notes:

Bryan unimpressive back to twos- Weideman to provide back up ruck to Draper
Durham too hot and cold - has to earn his spot back off Heppell via the two’s
Really really hope 2MP is right to go - prefect game to bring him back in
Tippa looks cooked - time out for a mini pre-season hopefully get him going towards the end of this year again

Durham out!? A week is a long time in football, but that is harsh on the demigod of dreamtime

 

[windyhill]

Holy **** ! It’s Grand Final week !

[raskolnikov]

I said before the Eagles game that we'd drop one of the next two so I guess it's this one.

If Wright does come in this week, surely you wouldn't expect him to be backup ruck in his first game back.

Weid to do that

 

[Godzke]

Outs: Walla, Hind, Guelfi
In: Davey, Kelly, Shiel

• Don't risk Wright for this, aim for Carlton game
• Disappointed in Bryan not showing enough grunt or hunger, but I'd give him a second chance as Wright isn't ready to play 2nd ruck, Phillips could use a second week off and Weids is wasted in the ruck and needed up forward.
• love you Walla ... but you clearly couldn't run out the game. Needs to be rested, bring Davey in.
• Hind very unlucky, but Pidge and Redders are main runners we need off half back with Kelly replacing Pidge in the lockdown role.
• Hind replaces Mass as sub
• Coin toss Snelling and Guelfi, both serviceable but there's only one position left between them if Hobbs stays in with Shiel returning

Need to keep playing Walla, wasted at VFL level.

Davey is going to be great for us but, needs to watch or be told how to play small forward. Under not compete.

 

[Pweter]

If Williams was too much for Draper/Bryan then Goldstein will slaughter them.

For that reason alone I wouldn't be gobsmacked if Bryan made way for Phillips. I wouldn't as it'd be a great education for Bryan.

 

[Keystone agony]

In: Phillips, Shiel,
Out: Draper, Tippa

Dont risk Kelly, 2MP and give Draper a rest as hes sore apparently. A great opportunity for Bryan with backup from Phillips

Zerk - Larkey
Ridley - CCJ
Lav - Zurhaar

Bryan as main ruck even though fairly 50/50 unless things arent going well

 

[Call Me Cake]

I want Wright and Weed in the same team.

 

[ant555]

The only issue with Wright for me will be touch. He can drop a lot of marks when the touch is not there.

Can’t be worse than the form Flip is showing

 

[MiguelM]

Give Bryan another game to get used to AFL pace IMO, save Phillips for the Blues.

 

[Vindicater]

Out: Hind

In: Shiel

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Prefer Phillips to help with Goldstein. Weideman would get destroyed and Bryan just too raw still

 

[Godzke]

you don't play him in the vfl, you rest him

 

[Megabattimus]

Bryan was great, but I'd give Phillips the nod against Goldy.

Great learning experience for Bryan.
