Preview Round 8 - Essendon v North Melbourne

[citizen-erased]

Kangaroos play a similar contested style to the Swans - As long as EFC hit forward targets which they missed against against the Swans they will be competitive.

we're screwed....

 

[bombreys]

In: Langford, Parish

Out: Polkinghorne, Simpkin

I don't think we should be dropping Redman, thought he was okay as the game went on.

 

[citizen-erased]

Out:Simpkin, Polkinghorne, Grima, Crowley
In:Jamar, Jerrett, Langford, Parish, Gleeson
lineup
Bags Hartley Dea
Dempsey Gwilt Kelly
Tippa* Goddard Merrett
Redman Daniher Jerrett
Jamar Brown McKernan
Berger Zaka Parish
Fantasia, Cooney, Langford, Gleeson
*Tippa runs with Wells to curtail his influence.

Stupidly tall forward line, but its a chance to stretch Thompson, Firrito and Tarrant and free up Daniher to get on his skates.

 

[daffo]

We'll get them on the outside....

 

[DapperJong]

Are we even going to attempt to find match ups for their tall forwards?

 

[Bombers_95]

Grima, Hartley and Gwillt all play key defense this week. Otherwise Waite, Petrie and Brown have a field day.

 

[Roos Addick]

How did Grima play on the weekend?

This is the drubbing we have been Waite-ing for.

 

[DapperJong]

How did Grima play on the weekend?

He played meh. Understandable though.

 

[JDavey]

How did Grima play on the weekend?

Was at the game - barely noticed him, seemed to lack a step when it came to chasing. Expected with first game back though.

 

[Halftimehero]

Think we may need to bring in Michael this week at the expense of either Gwilt or Dea purely for match ups sake.

Assuming Hartley/ Grima on Waite/Petrie

It leaves Brown and at his height we can't afford to have Gwilt or Dea on him in my opinon.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Don't care about winning just make it an ugly scrap so they cant play their run and gun game **** giving that minnow club a chance for a % boost.

Dea to Waite

Didn't Waite kick 7 in a half against us? Lock him in for 10

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Gwilt to Brown?

He will monster the guy.

 

[Halftimehero]

Gwilt to Brown?

He will monster guy.

Yep, cant do it.

 

[citizen-erased]

Didn't Waite kick 7 in a half against us? Lock him in for 10

yep. was at that game.
we only just got over the line if i recall.

 

[carnthedons]

yep. was at that game.
we only just got over the line if i recall.

Melksham goal and Carlisle game saving mark or was that another close Carlton game?

 

[SherbertLemon]

First steinberg, now gwilt.

Browne probably loves playing us.

Plus he's not clearly the ugliest bloke on the field either which must be a nice change for him.

 

[Doss]

Didn't Waite kick 7 in a half against us? Lock him in for 10

Nah, five in the first half, seven for the game.

 

[Beerfish]

Regardless, Waite will go ballistic. Nothing is more certain.

 

[the big lebowski]

Regardless, Waite will go ballistic. Nothing is more certain.

He might not play

 

[Beerfish]

He might not play

Regardless, if he plays Waite will go ballistic. Nothing is more certain.

*Tippa runs with Wells to curtail his influence.

You've obviously never watched him if you are suggesting this. His defensive efforts leave a lot to be desired for.

 

[Only Forwards]

Was at the game - barely noticed him, seemed to lack a step when it came to chasing. Expected with first game back though.

Has always taken a few to get up to speed.
