Sunday Matchups

[Mitchell Madness]

I have a feeling Fletcher will go to croad. mainly because they are around the same height, and essendon do not really have anyone of that height, excluding Ryder whow ill be in the ruck rotating with Hille who will be up forward, and Lucas is just Lucas, there onyl real forward target.

anyone on Croad will give away height if sheedy looks for somebody to match him for speed, but if they try to match his height it gives him the speed advantage.

cant believe it! this club allowed nick ries to play

why cant they pick forwards??? you know guys over 190 cm! whats wrong with our coaching staff... are they afraid our side might play attractive football or is clarko surperstitous we will lose by picking someone taller than he is.????

you dont always win games with little guys just look at the bullies this week.



nick ries run essendon off their feet?? he is slower than ben dixon and has shocking skills....ahhhhh

i cant stand this club settling for mediocracy all the time, STOP PLAYING SMALL PLAYERS.

Whoa Whoa Whoa there boy.....Hold up!

I don't think anyone in thier right minds could say that Nick Ries is 'slow' and has 'shocking skills'. He has come on so much the past year or two, he just took his damn time doin' it!

Mate he had a ripper of a game round 20 last yr against Essendon (18 disposals, 5 tackles), and for the amount of game time he had, probably rated within the Hawks top 5 for that match and, overall IMO, didnt have a bad season in 05, but like I said, it has taken him alot longer than alot of the other guys (Franklin, Willo, Roughy etc) to find his feet.

perhaps he meant finest midfielder at Windy Hill during last decade. I could agree with "one of the finest midfielders of the past decade".
