IN: Ward, Grainger-Barras, Morrison
OUT: Macdonald (managed), Nash (managed), Shiels (managed), Howe (sub)

 

[Brishawk]

By memory it was GeeLol that got done for it

Probably brought in right after Sydney did it ten times with no consequence

 

[HairyO]

Does Finn lock Parish?

We want Parish getting the ball, dont we ?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

What's this nonsense SMS the club telling me to pre book a seat with my membership ? Zero chance 11th vs 16th on a cold Saturday night gets 50k.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Who will it be?

 

[CHUBBSS]

Had a wander over to the Dons board. They reckon Lynch is an undersized ruck who can't jump. They've obviously missed last week when he was jumping all over Gawn in the first qtr. He's gonna be a jet.

Ah I see some of the bomber thompson pre game Ice water is going down well over there

 

[macdaddio]

Whats wrong with our defence?

What a silly statement

Wasn’t meant as a dig at ours but stating how bad theirs is.

 

[Bugs1977]

So do we think the rona is going to hit anymore of those mofos? How's our eyes and ears over at that cesspool?

 

[CHUBBSS]

Seriously contemplating a 100 point win, Sam will want to boost percentage and we have a lot of players pushing to stay in the team, combined with our hard matches and all their outs and ineptitude could be a blow out.

No doubt a blow out win is all part of development to

 

[Pessimistic]

Smash them for a half then experiment

 

[Mitchell Madness]

What's this nonsense SMS the club telling me to pre book a seat with my membership ? Zero chance 11th vs 16th on a cold Saturday night gets 50k.

It's not 50k public seats though.
Essendon have a ton of reserved seats, then there's medallion club.

Most years there's only 10k public seats, and a "sell-out" attracts 35k

 

[badgrill]

Gold!!

That's GOLD, Jerry!

GOLD!!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Virus's going through every club at the moment.

 

[TylerDurden]

They're screwed

 

[WWSD]

Brockman and Downie return in the VFL this week. I really want to see Brockman back in the team soon and holding down that small forward position.

 

[The hands of stone]

On pure form we should win , I think them potentially trying to take the game on will actually suit us and be what we want .

Then its the 'young' side form fluctuation that will show up from time to time ......just hoping not tomorrow night

 

[Turly]

They're screwed

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

They're screwed

Remains to be seen who, if any, miss.

 

[WWSD]

With more games and continuity under his belt, hopefully we see Lynch increase his TOG.

Round 6 vs Sydney (64%)
Round 7 vs Melbourne (66%)

 

[rei154]

Brockman and Downie return in the VFL this week. I really want to see Brockman back in the team soon and holding down that small forward position.

Both players have spent a fair bit of time out of the side without the reasons being listed on the site.

Really keen for both of them to get a good run at things as I think both will spend a decent enough amount of time in the 1's in the back half of the year.

 

[Mrzohs]

Huge danger match this one, I would feel alot more confident with Lewis, Jiath in the side. That being said i dont see them having the firepower to hurt us.

▪︎Please keep Moore up on the wing!
•The midfield needs to be ready!
•More Classy forward 50 entries.
▪︎Let's see what Callow does in game 2.

Hawks by 15-20 a win puts a gap in between the bottom 6 teams.

I like the idea of Moore in the forward line for the first half then really exposing and gut running in the second half through the wings.

More so the Scum probably limit the GA area.
