Preview Round 21 - Essendon VS Fremantle - MCG - Sunday 4/8/24 - 3:20pm AEST

[cAsEy_18]

Have we established who takes the 3 headed snake?

Treacy - Mckay
Amiss - Laverde
Jackson - Cox

Dosent feel like a super good set of matchups

Yes, I believe green grass was going to take one, and a gust of air had the matchup on another.

 

[Maxabillions]

Agreed, but Kelly is in too (named on the field)

Should have been Hayes

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Wright, Heppel, Perkins axed.

 

[Reximilian]

Roberts, Bryan, Davey, Kelly in.

Ridley, Perkins, Heppell, Wright out.

Hobbs somehow misses out.

 

[Rick Ross]

Really narrows what there is to complain about… Kelly selection it is…

 

[Call Me Cake]

Hallelujah

 

[BomberTime]

How does Menzie survive?

Might as well start packing Hobbs bags now.

 

[andleanback]

And they used Hobbs as the ins graphic.
Not sure how Menzie is getting a game with his horrible impact over Hobbs. Guess Ben will be our next massimo

 

[VexOh]

Menzie likely sub - rather have him sub than take valuable game time away from Hobbs in the VFL.

Fair call.

Still banging on about the game V the ageing Pies lmao. 11 disposals last week, less than the sub. Get off it m8.

Hobbs actually has a chance to be a consistently elite player. Only thing is he hasn't really been dominating the VFL and needs to work on his speed when disposing of the ball.

 

[eDPS]

Davey in = we win, the data doesn’t lie!

 

[FootyGuru]

With the team and players most supporters want to see no complaining if we lose right?

If we lose because we don't show up I'll complain. If we lose a hard fought game then I won't.

Nah. Reckon Hobbs and Tsatas will get a game or two in the last few rounds.

 

[Vindicater]

Would have gone Hobbs instead of Kelly but overall much faster team and better balanced.

Maybe because they prefer Hobbs o be playing midfield ? The fact Is Hobbs should have played last week while Parish was running around on Sunday in the VFL.

Hobbs in the back pocket ?

 

[Vindicater]

Hobbs in the back pocket ?

Nope.

Hobbs into the midfield rotation. Cox takes Ridley's role and Roberts takes Heppells.

Martin and Durham to a wing.

Merrett to play abit behind the ball as well when needed.

Hobbs is decent at playing as the extra mid playing at half forward. He adds more in the forward half than menzie

 

[Call Me Cake]

Don't like the double speak from Scott.

Says we failed the test (good)

Says the players care (bad)

Reckon we are going to get minimal changes as he backs them in once again.

Apologize

Giving up my sons prelim for this game. There is some strange magnet type thing that keeps drawing me to Essendon. Be us being a ****ing disgrace or be us flying, I keep showing up.
My boy is not happy, he’s sort of understanding, so, anyway, I will be there. If I ever miss us playing in a GF, I will remember these years,these drug years, these years of hopelessness, giving up numerous family engagements, boys prelims, etc etc.
You ****ing owe me Essendon.

it's like watching a car crash. you can't look away

 

[MiguelM]

Wow, Scott sending a clear message with the team. Finally a bit of speed.

Like that VFL form is being rewarded. Tsatas, Hayes & Hobbs next.

Menzie, Gresham lucky but might just feel a bit of pressure. Hind out of favour by the looks.
