Game Day Round 17 vs. Essendon, MCG, 7:40pm Friday 05/07

[danielnajdek]

Essendon bringing in Dylan Shiel

They brought him in to tag Nick

I'd say we're once again taking an unnecessary risk, but at least it's a corkie.

So unless that spot gets hit again, you can't really "make something worse" with a corkie can you?

Can be susceptible to tears with corks.

 

[jimmy35]

HH as sub and Longy in the middle. Not a bad side all in all. Pretty confident about this week.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I think Dean simply needs to stay in the side from here on out

Start preparing him to become Murphy's successor. Then he and Frampton can allow Moore a little more freedom and he won't look as silly with the other two covering for him

Out: Noble (inj), McCreery (inj), Maynard (inj), Sullivan (omit)
In: Dean, Schultz, Long, Fin
Sub: HH

I know I know, Fin doesn't seem up to the level. Worry is, he seems more up to it than Sullivan to me

Almost nailed it outside Maynard/Fin

Thought Maynard was hurt but obviously isn't

Starting to think reef will ask for a trade

Chippy or sparky?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Very happy to hear Dean is named. Darcy & Bill need some support down there.

Extra happy about Shoota, Josh & Bruz.

Ecstatic that Joey is named in the 22.

Looks like Ned will be sub?

Or Oleg?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I really hope Howe plays forward and Frampton back. Frampton is not a Forward and Howe has looked very dangerous going Forward this year

Agree but frampton is a better ruck than Kreuger so possibly that’s the rationale.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Or Oleg?

Unlikely with Noble out.

 

[Daicosian silk]

Lewis said on 360 last night he believes we’ll miss the 8. No awareness for the injury tribulations that have contributed to recent performances. Just the assumption that we’ll continue to struggle - unbelievably poor insight.

Also said we’d miss the 8 last year. That aged well

I’ll laugh if Darcy starts forward

Sounds like you could do with a laugh.

 

[Daicosian silk]

Ha, ha, i don't think he means a "back handed compliment" by describing us as "playing above our talent". I think what he is explaining is the phenonomen of a champion team, which has a total strength greater than the sum of its individual parts. Each player is elevated by the others. The talent of each individual player is enhanced by being part of such a team, which is so united by its drive to win, the commitment of each team member to each other, and the refusal to ever give up.

Sort of ties in with this discussion about attitude v talent

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Or Oleg?

The sub comes from the 5 named on the interchange : Kreugs, Harvey, Long, WHE, Crisp. So I'd say either Ned or Harvey.

lots of comedy on here to keep the laughs coming
Especially reading your stuff

Happy to keep you entertained. Cause you bore me shitless with your Darcy dribble.

It could happen. Who knows, I wouldn't be against it. However, with McStay coming back in a couple of weeks it will only be temporary

 

[Apex36]

Framptons 0.3 hitouts more than Kreugers per game rucking this season will be all the difference.

 

[IlovethePies]

Hope its HH. He could be the impactful sub when he comes on, and I feel like we need extra horsepower to contest stoppages and at centre clearances urgently. I hope Ned charges through the middle tomorrow night like a rampaging steed

Interesting that they've dropped Goldstein when he probably would've destroyed DC on current form.

He's been getting beaten a lot lately. Dekoning made him look like a geriatric. Bombers going for more run

 

[migz]

What?

Witts bullied DC last week and Goldstein probably would've done the same
