Game Day Round 20: Essendon v Port Adelaide, Marvel Stadium, Sat August 3 2019, 1.45PM AEST

[I_am_Vengeance]

Got this one boys, 122 to 53, Hooker to kick 3, Walla to kick 3 and Stringer with 3. Also Francis to take MOTY.

Edit: Also Raz to kick 3

Surgery 8 weeks ago, start running in a couple weeks, pain OK, still rehabing

 

[Jacques_]

Seems like a little bit of illness is running through the club, hopefully it’s been limited to McKernan & Hep

 

[VelvetSledge]

I'm stoked for Harts getting his chance. Not stoked about McKernan out, but it could be worse

As long as it means Hartley back, Hooker forward from the start, not vice versa like we rolled out for Adelaide

 

[Highly Evolved]

Absolutely massive late out re Saviour. Really rattles the confidence.

Please may common sense prevail and play Hooker forward and Hartley back.

 

[Runk]

My boy is out??? **** this shit....

 

[Its Manbearpig]

McKernan out hurts.. we didnt need any more forwards out. Hartley in as most already wanted

 

[Lore]

Compared to Adelaide two weeks ago we have Z. Clarke instead of McKernan and Fantasia instead of Heppell. Not sure where they'll start but I suspect it will play out fairly similarly with Hooker being the kingpin at both ends.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

McKernan probably out with ribs. Big loss. Who’s second ruck?

I want us to lose and lose badly. I want Hinkley out of the club ASAP.

Hartley has been taking a bit of ruck in VFL, so will be him.

Yeah and not very successfully. Terrible actually. Hooker goes back when Hartley takes the ruck. Smack is big loss

 

[Liberator]

Going to be a bit of a juggle... Let's hope Raz is back in form!

Why say illness then?

 

[thaibomber]

Really need our mids to pressure... have to stop clean entries into their 50.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Why say illness then?

Do clubs like to admit rib injuries? Other teams then test out the ribs

We'll win this by around 13 goals

Well they can't test it out if he's not playing. Just seems odd to me. Most clubs would say ribs if it was ribs wouldn't they? I dunno. No big deal. /shrug

Been a few clubs around the AFL hit by Gastro/flu/colds so not unreasonable to believe that is the case
