Game Day Round 7 vs. Essendon, MCG, 3:20pm ANZAC Day 25/04

[No SPIN]

Parish usually does alright playing us

True - but I was responding to reported claims by Ess supporters that Durham was going to smash JDG. At 5cm shorter and around 10kg lighter Durham has a huge challenge to quell Jordy.

Hoping Jordy has his game on tomorrow along with the rest of the boys

Same. The wool ones are always expensive.

Probably get laughed down but thinking if at times we need a shut down player/tagger, could someone like Shoota be that player?

Has the tank, defensive and can slide forward to score.

The only guy that does the damage through the midfield for them that warrants a tagger is Merrett and I’d really prefer we don’t fall into the same trap Nicks did last week. They had that one under control then sent McHenry to Merrett. The end result was Merrett lifted his workrate got busy and McHenry was invisible. We’ve got a good midfield let’s back ourselves in and let them worry about our guns.

Oh I’m not talking a permanent tagger. More a stopper when the brakes need to be applied on an Oppo player and not necessarily tomorrow.

 

[Jafo]

Not sure. May have the tank, but depends on the player, you wouldn't want it to be someone that has pace and can run off him.
I dont think he is that fast.

We had Lippa on parish and kept him quite in the 2nd half of a game a couple years ago

They never auction on the ones they wear- I don’t think. Not for Anzac day

Yes they do. I’ve bought my share and have photo matched some quite clearly.

And ask him to put it on and go for a bit of run..

Love that HH is in

 

[JuniorB]

HH has been selected - sub?

 

[Scodog10]

In that case I’ll stick with my original answer, but add that if there was a time we went with a tag Shoota’s a good option.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Good to see Harrison get selected. His pace, along with his ability to run and carry the ball, may get him a start.
Could Titch be the sub, given it's a short turnaround?

 

[GreekLunatic]

They going in tall we should be too nimble for them

 

[3rdMan]

Assume inclusion of HH is sub rotation. Allows us to expose another young player and give Reef a full game in the VFL. Don't think Reef has done much wrong with his opportunities.

 

[nahnah]

super tall it seems. 2 rucks, 2 key forwards, 2 third tall types in Langford and Stringer, and Cox who is 200cm+
