Preview Round 20 - Essendon VS St Kilda - Marvel - Saturday 27/7/24 - 4:35pm AEST

[Blind Turn]

This win will be the start of a very satisfying run of success for this club. Mark my words, we are about to explode like a goddam wet dream!

 

[eth-dog]

Expect Wright to come in for Goldy. Hopefully we can actually defend this week...

 

[Shanghaistu]

can we recover from the overall fatigue, malaise and diabolical out-of-form-ness of the senior players in the last 7 weeks to get up in time for this one?

 

[ant555]

Think Bryan may miss out. Has had a bit of soreness for the last couple of weeks which was why he was not considered last week.

 

[Ambrosia]

Out Caldwell

Out Goldy:

Would like to see Draper ruck solo with support from Cox which would also remove Cox from our wing rotation.

Out Menzie:

Too slow for the role he's playing.

Out Perkins:

Been done to death but he's clearly devoid of confidence.

Not sure on who the ins should be.

I remain a Hind fan. Would love to give Roberts a go. Hobbs is due another shot. Outside his body failing him Setterfield has been genuinely excellent for us. Hard to say Heppell's leadership isn't having some sort of positive impact given the amount of panic handballs there was in his absence on Friday.

 

[srobbo]

OUT: Goldy, Menzies, Kelly, Perkins (all 4 cannot possibly stay in the side if we’re fair dinkum)

IN: 2MP, Roberts, Hobbs, Hind

as it stands caldwell passed the concussion test but i think we'll do another one mid week.

 

[jdstorm]

Think I said it before but

Out Kelly, in Hayes
Out Menzie in Hobbs
Out Perkins/Stringer in Setterfield
Out Goldy in Wright
Out Guelfi in Roberts

Out Guelfi in Roberts

Why are we dropping Guelfi after one bad game?

We also used intel from 5 years and had him dragging Brodie Smith back to the goal square as one of the stupidest forward tags I’ve seen.

Had a few bad ones IMO.

I thought he did his hammy

I did hear that too.

Isn’t he injured/Suspended?

 

[windyhill]

Had the “**** these pricks, I’m not going” attitude. Hopelessly addicted . Four games missed since’73 (take out Covid/interstate) Will be there. You ?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

For the love of god if I don't see someone put some physicality into Merrett's tagger I'm gonna have an aneurysm.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

I can't believe we're betting favourites in this game. We're definitely going to drop it.

[windyhill]

Liam Henry has had a cracking year, big miss.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Why did Membrey have to have his career best game on the weekend already? Normally those efforts are dedicated for matches against us

Caldwell passed his concussion test. Was just too late so they made the sub anyway

Whether he misses with rib pain is another issue, Keays was interviewed after the game and said he spoke to Caldwell and he told Keays it was his ribs that were sore from that.

A loss would put a line through the season and end the misery. So I am expecting a close win where both teams look like utter crap.

 

[Bombers36]

I’m hoping Brad makes a few changes…
Need pace against Saints - bring in Hind and Davey - Hind plays back, Martin forward
Cox & Jones to rotate wing/CHF
2MP & Draper rotate ruck only - neither as a key forward...
Stringer SUB - needs a rocket

OUT: Menzie, Guelfi, Perkins, Goldy
IN: Hind, Davey, Hobbs, 2MP

Redman McKay Kelly
Ridley Lav McGrath
Cox Caldwell Duursma
Martin Jones Gresham
Langford Caddy Davey

2MP Durham Merrett

Bench: Shiel Hobbs Hind Draper
SUB: Stringer

I thought Setterfield was good at doing the blocking stuff? I think we benefit from someone like him in the team.
