Game Day Round 17: Brisbane vs Essendon, Gabba, Sunday 10/07/2022 @ 1:10 PM

This Ham thing is so weird. He was shocking in the twos last week. Not sure I’ve ever seen a more undeserving player be given unlimited chances, irrelevant of form.

it's so ****ing bizarre:

"Ham was a solid contributor in the VFL, notching 15 disposals."

Well he isn’t going to play he’s just going to be named as 1 of 4 emergencies.

Lions with 7 changes

I hope so but is it just the team 3rd on the ladder managing a few players against the team 16th on the ladder..??

Managing?

 

[Bombers36]

Managing?

well injuries for a few Lions players also...
interesting to see who misses out from extended bench...feel like Ham, Waterman, Snelling & Phillips may miss..

 

[DallasCrane316]

Managing?

After the result tonight, Lions would be silly to try and manage seeing as a top 2 spot is up for grabs.

Considering 2 of them pulled a hammy and a couple are out with COVID I’m pretty sure they’d prefer to have all of them playing.

Oh for sure. They aren’t managing anyone. This is just luck at the moment

In addition to their backline run,
McStay out is big for them.

 

[Hamez]

Had a feeling leading into the St.Kilda game that we got them at a good time. Likewise again this week, couldn’t be a better opportunity to knock them off.

 

[eth-dog]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Durham as sub.

If they are managing him, no chance he gets dropped

I meant as a rest.

Coming off an 8 day break, all players should be okay

 

[Beerfish]

I'm confused. Should I be as cocky as Sydney supporters last week or not?

 

[Beerfish]

And the best toastie is ham and cheese. The end.

 

[bacon buster]

wouldn't mind wiping that smile from Joe's face. hope we beat those bunch of tossers.

wouldn't bank on it, but they are ripe for the picking with those outs.

I cannot deal with it. Just try somebody else?

 

[bacon buster]

seems a ham fisted approach

 

[blitzer]

Even with all their outs its still going to be hard to win considering they basically started last week from a position with nearly no injuries.
So they still have plenty of quality there throughout the field.

But who knows. Its definitely good timing for us no matter how you slice it but you get that in an AFL season. eg we copped West Coast with their players back and didn't get them when they were easy beats so its all swings and roundabouts.

 

[Bombers36]

Am I delusional starting to think we have some chance here...I mean they have 7 players out so if we can stop Joe & Charlie running amok then maybe we are sneaky chance...?!?! I’d go with Lav on Joe - and McGrath against Charlie Cameron

Don't worry about it.

Rutten is just signalling to big footy his preferred toastie of choice.

 

[faible]

In: McGrath, Ham, Phillips, Waterman.

No outs yet, Parish named.


Rutten should be sacked for his instance of calling up Ham every other week.

Ham as a travelling emergency makes a lot of sense. Better to let the young guys who desperately need VFL games stay in Melbourne and take guys like Ham & Waterman up who are mature and experienced enough to go without - and likely to be delisted.

No VFL game this week
