Preview Round 18 - Essendoomguys VS Melbourne Demons, MCG, Saturday 13/7/24, 7.40pm AEST

[jdstorm]

Kelly was good vs Hill and Melbourne have dangerous SFs. He can stay.


In Setterfield

Wouldn’t want to change much, Setters has looked good playing that Mid/Forward role in the VFL if he’s right the extra girth will help

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

Setterfield in for Hind

SUB: Perkins

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Heppell for Perkins and that's it IMO

Setters would be useful against Dees.

 

[Blind Turn]

Out: Perkins

In: Hobbs

Other than that. No change.

But I fully expect

Out: Caddy and Jones

In: Goldstein and Heppell

From what I saw today Hobbs hasn’t earned his spot back. His possessios gave little impetus and his kicking in particular needs a lot of work. Tsatas and Setterfield both ahead of him for now.

Only issue with your comment was that McGrath played on hill all night

Nah, they shared Hill and Schultz.

[Vindicater]

Setterfield for Hind

Perkins to be sub.

 

[Call Me Cake]

You just know they're gonna recall Heppell and omit Caddy. Ugh.

Nah.

Caddy will be dropped for Goldstein.

 

[rioli brownlow]

Nah. McGrath only played on Schultz when hill was on the bench.
When hill was on the ground it was McGrath who had him 100% of the time

 

[Hird05]

Liked Cox rucking. Get him to run with Gawn if he needs attention. No Goldy pls.

Melbourne are slow so am ok with Hepp playing this one, he's had a really good season. Plenty of guys were terrible the last few weeks. He can sub and Hind start.

In Hepp (sub)
Out Perkins

Agree. He was only average .

 

[bommer16]

As long as we don’t kick long repeatedly to May and Lever we may be a chance.

 

[sameolds33]

Will be interesting to see how this plays out because there are no obvious players to make way for our 'managed' veterans in Goldy and Heppell. Cox and Hind will be the unlucky players would be my guess if there are changes

Vets can be managed in more ways than a week off. Training injuries could mean another week off is warranted. Just sayin'...

Dees are a strong field marking team. We're particularly poor, particularly in our F50. Haven't seen Setterfield for so long that I can't remember but think this was one of his strengths. Heppell and Goldy have been strong in this area over the season.

They actually swap around a lot . Our defense is generally a shared role. Redman was also on him for some parts until he swapped back to Howe. Kelly spent a lot of minutes on Hill.

Well from where I sat behind the Essendon cheer squad McGrath was on hill while on the ground

Maybe it happened at the other end. But they definitely swapped around.

Maybe sit on the wing where you can see the other end of the ground

 

[jannissary]

clamp pickett & pressure oliver.

their forward line is worse than ours & i think their defence is exportable

 

[Duckworth]

Out: Perkins
In: Setterfield
Stringer to the sub - Hind in.

I really want to find a way to bring in Roberts.

 

[dank420_]

I’m not feeling the need to get Setterfield in tbh
