[Duckworth]

Polkinghorne lucky.

Polkinghorne lucky.

Very but actually happy to see a coach stick by players. Jerrett excluded...

Need to build that consistency so the players can learn each other.

 

[vaughany]

Apparently McKenna and Ambrose are in according to some guy who based on history isn't wrong. Discuss

Spot on the money

I noticed Gwilt is listed as emergency so do you think that is rest or dropped? Have taken a keen interest in Essendon this year after 'the saga' and bought a cheap membership as my way of trying to show support. So I've watched most games and think he's be more than a pass - just seems odd this the week to rest if so with Norths forward line so dominant.

Beeing rested.

We will be seeing the side get rotated a lot as the season wears on.

Shit they have gone in very tall.

Daw in without any big taken out (Firrito not really a big)

Not too sure, will wait and see if he is listed to play VFL this Sunday

Hoping we'll be quicker than theyre expecting with such a tall team.

They sure have. Goldy to be a late withdrawal/rested maybe?

21 degrees and sunny the forecast for Saturday wonder if that means the roof will be kept open?

that or they'll look to nurse him through, play him a bit forward and a bit behind the ball as opposed to the 90% rucking he has been doing.

Hartley - Waite
Grima - Petrie
Ambrose - Brown
Dea - Wood
Baguley - Thomas
Crowley - Harvey

Think we might see Tippa further afield this week, or even manning Harvey.

Imagine the meltdown from Brad Scott if we end their winning streak with the roof open at Etihad during the day, haha.. Won't happen, but it would be amazing..

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Michael needs to come in, they're way too tall.

We'd have an abundance of favourite new gifs

 

[MarkG]

Who rucks if Luey goes down? Daniher? Or perhaps Sam Michael emergency may be a chance.

 

[MarkG]

bro, is he injured or are you making shit up?

Making things up. Not.

Agree good chance to play Michael this week

Haha yeah will be meltdown central. I reckon if it was a Fox broadcast it would be open but it is on ch7 they will push for a closed roof on Saturday afternoon.

Absolutely worst time for Dempsey to get injured after the last 2 weeks

What i take from the changes is JD will be the support ruck.

Is that excluding the selection video where Woosha explicitly says Ambrose will ruck?

I get the feeling Goldstein will be given a bit of a rest by rucking 60-70% of the game instead of his usual 90% and Petrie will be sent behind the footy while Majak is up forward.

 

[vaughany]

Seems odd McKernan is listed as an out with the seniors injured with quad issue yet he has been named to play VFL on Sunday? He must been playing with a niggling injury this last month or so?

Its too tough to have Ambrose playing tall back then relieving in the ruck - Then what happens when Ambrose rucks !
