I ****ing hate these scumbags with a passion, look at their arrogance. If they take us for granted based on our last 3 games.. I've got a feel they may be in for a surprise.
Geelong game last year rings bells.

Davey needs to stay in the side, because most of their goals are coming from the backline so we need that added forward pressure, and he was actually doing a good job chasing.
Reimers loves playing against the blues, and loves playing on the big stage. Give him another chance.
Not too sure about Dyson, but who can replace him ?
Spot on. In their eyes just hand them the premiership now. its a "we beat collingwood, its all down hill to the flag" attitude.
Ive now adopt the mentality of anyone else but carlton can win the flag and ill be a happy man.
Re: We should throw next week.
I think Carrazzo will go with Watson, he's been in career best form so far. I wonder if we will have anyone run with Stanton, next to Watson your most dangerous player imo.
Hocking would have to go with Judd, he's been pretty effective on him recently.
Henderson played most of rd1 on Riewoldt. Our strength in the backline is guys like Laidler, Jamison and Duigan providing a chop out for each other. I think Hurley might struggle to find a 1 on 1 with Henderson unless you can get the ball in quick.
I think we'll line up something like:
Hurley - Henderson
Ryder - Jamison / Laidler
Crameri - Duigan / Jamison
Bower might miss, I can't find a match up for him and with Walker most likely returning we need a spot.

Walker- Hardingham
Waite- Pears/Hooker/Carlisle ?

McVeigh and Lonergan and Hooker will all return if they are fit, you would expect.
Carlisle, Reimers and Melksham/Dyson in the gun.
Hooker - Waite
Hibberd - Betts
Dempsey - Garlett
Fletcher - Hampson/Kreuzer
Hardingham - Walker

Please dont bring Hooker in for this game. I rather Slattery.
Hooker needs to be in the side, the last time he played against the blues he played great. Should replace Carlisle who's gone down with a calf injury.
Apparently McVeigh actually did a calf, so I don't expect him to be back for a few weeks.
Fletcher Im tipping will have no choice who he plays on.. Im tipping Robinson will go to him and annoy the living crap out of him again.. Its been very effective in the past and Fletcher seems very rattled when he does...
hahahahhahahah yeah sure whatever. come on.
Isn't that what GC did to us lastnight? Surely if we can't stop the Suns doing it then how can we stop Carlton?
I hope I'm wrong but I'm very worried about a potential blowout next week.

Re: We should throw next week.
Hurley-Hendo
Ryder-Jamo
Crameri-Laidler
Jetta-Yarran
Reimers-Duigan
Davey-Scotland
Garlett-Dempsey?
Betts-Hibberd
Waite-Pears
Robinson-Fletcher
Hampson/Kruezer-Hooker
Walker-Hardingham
I was thinking Carrazzo would go to Stanton, Hocking to Murphy and both teams letting Judd and Watson go head-to-head. That's what we've been doing against Swallow, Rischitelli and Casissi, tagging Boak, Ablett and Wells instead
Cheers for that, I was thinking:
Hurley-Hendo
Ryder-Jamo
Crameri-Laidler
Jetta-Yarran
Reimers-Duigan
Davey-Scotland
Garlett-Dempsey?
Betts-Hibberd
Waite-Pears
Robinson-Fletcher
Hampson/Kruezer-Hooker

The game next week is the kind of games we are known for winning. Big game, heavy underdogs, played bad the week before, opposition supporters as arrogant as they can be and everyone writing Essendon off.
Love it. IMO, every single Essendon supporter should head to the G to see how this pans out. If we lose, then as expected, but if we win, then watching the arrogant scums crying would be about the best feeling ever. The players seem to lift when they have the support of a huge crowd as well so make some noise bombers supporters!
These are also the type of games that the underdog wins in games between the two. Essendon are at their best when they have nothing to lose and I am expecting a huge performance from the boys to beat our traditional foes. The expectation is all on Carlton so I don't know why people are worried. I would be worried if we smashed our last 3 opponents because as we know from yesterday and the last 4 years, Essendon cannot play well with expectations.
Essendon by 4 points with Betts missing a kick after the siren!

Re: We should throw next week.
I heard McVeigh is going to miss a few weeks?
I just can't see Watson being left alone, especially at stoppages he's way too damaging.
Also with our defenders I think we will probably rotate assignments Duigan, Jamo and Laidler are all a bit underdone. If we play one guy on Crameri he will probably blow up.
What's the word on Dempsey, I heard he will play and then this morning it has him out for 2-3 weeks
I think you've got your defenders pretty close although, I'm not sure Hird would want Robinson playing on Fletcher, doesn't make much sense to me Robo will drag him up the ground which is a big loss to Essendon imo.

Re: We should throw next week.
That's fair enough, that's how I think it'll start
I'm not sure, I've put him in tentatively
I think Fletcher is smart enough to know how to deal with that, I hope
That's fair enough, I was think Judd and Watson sort of cancel each other out.I heard McVeigh is going to miss a few weeks?

Re: We should throw next week.
Would rather have Davey go on Yarran, because Davey has done a great job on him up in the past.
Let Jetta do his own thing.

Re: We should throw next week.
i like it when we play a gun team. they usually drag us up to their level, just like crap teams drag us down.

It will be more like:
Carlton $1.15
Essendon $5.5
Carlton $1.15
Essendon $5.5
The lower the odds for Carlton the better, let us be the underdogs.
It's one of those games where you know there's a 90% we're going to lose, but the remaining 10% is just hope, but there is always that hope no matter what.
**** I love Essendon.
Was just watching some of the highlights of us versing em back in our Matthew Knight days, god it was good beating the scum.

All last night and early today I have been thinking we will get demolished. That's until I began listening to the arrogance of these flogs, and we all know when Carlton go in arrogant against us they play shit. If their players believe half the shit their supporters are saying, we will pull off another Geelong type upset. 'yeah easy 15 goal win to us!!', only teams like Geelong who have something to show for in the past few years should be showing that arrogance. It's ****ing April, the grand final isn't played in April
I'm yet to see what the hype is about.
They were challenged by Richmond until the 4th quarter, they beat Brisbane and they beat a Collingwood side decimated by injuries, getting used to having a new coach and coming off a rusty pre-season.
Yet they say we're the worst side to be 3-0. Lol I say bring them on, we can't write ourselves off. We admit we're not playing to our full potential and we admit that we're scraping through. But they're arrogance has reached an extent where they think they're flag favourites on the back of 3 games.
I hope the Blues keep getting hyped all week, and we cop shit left, right and center. Let their arrogance sky rocket.
