Re: Changes vs Carlton

Who should play on Betts then?

How would Davey go playing defence???

Re: Changes vs Carlton

Slattery did a fantastic job on him last time

.....and he's been in such great form in the vfl from all reports (double )

Play who you wish on Betts, but please just don't make it Hank.

Re: Changes vs Carlton

Hibberd would go alright on Betts you'd think, but that would leave Hardingham on Garlett, and Garlett would burn Hardingham for pace.

Re: Changes vs Carlton

If one of them has to be free, I'd rather it be Garlett. Betts' goal sense is better.

Also plays closer to goal.

You could put Dyson on Garlett.

Re: Changes vs Carlton

Concede the game? Prepare for the Pies game instead? Are you morons delusional?

The club will - and should - prepare for this game and pick a team that will give us the best chance of winning the game.

You call yourself an Essendon supporter? This is ****ing lunacy- Concede a game against our biggest ****ing rival? Put our best offensive mid in a tagging role? Thank the lord you're no where near our coaching department. Go back to Port Adelaide, scum. If you don't care about this game you don't deserve to be an Essendon supporter- especially if we lose by 15 goals.

If we hadn't got off to such a poor start in terms of injuries, the club would be doing exactly what has been suggested in this thread. Confirmed by Bomber Thompson last night. I guess he and the rest of the coaching department don't give a shit about Essendon?

Re: Changes vs Carlton

just to even things up a bit, looks like Carlton may bring in Brock Mclean. Oh Dear

Wowee...

So you took Bombers words on player rotations to be meaning we'll concede a game against one or our greatest rivals to backup against another.

Pretty sure Man U rotate players against Chelsea, Arsenal, Barca and whoever.

It's all about player management and putting out a fresh group that can win consistently every week.

Play to win every game with the best side possible... nothing less will ever be accepted.

Re: Changes vs Carlton

bomber said we would've looked at resting players, he possibly meant against gc or earlier in the year

And how is resting 5-6 players doing that? That's what the club was planning to do against Carlton. I won't bother spinning it because I understand why they wanted to do it in these circumstances.

The idea of a hard-and-fast Best 22 is flawed since there are fringe players that would arguably be equitable to one another, and those are the ones I suspect would be rested.

Great news see what the kid can do on a massive stage

I have to ask, didn't you think it was a trifle unnecessary to see the crack in the indians bottom?

True story, I did do this.

Dyson out does surprise me and this comes from me who hates the fact Dyson is as soft as peanuts.

Re: Changes vs Carlton

I don't think we'll be dropping two defenders (Dyson + Dempsey) for 1.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Peanuts are hard.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Re: Changes vs Carlton

Ricky Dyson: as soft as peanuts and as tough as a crepe.

Sounds about right.
