Preview Sydney v Essendon Marvel Sat Night 7:25, July 29, 2023, Melbourne, Australia, Southern Hemisphere , 37.8166° S, 144.9475° E

[wills2g]

We're heading into a perfect storm - You've done the Preview and Stringer has played shizen for a couple of games.

We are SO going to lose.

Bound to win one eventually when The King! does a preview too

Stringer is just shizen more often than not and his contract aint up so we're good

Anyone who thinks it's a "scallop" is an idiot. A scallop is a marine animal.

What these idiots are trying to apply is the French name 'escalope', but this is specifically for meat.

So 1) they're idiots, 2) can't pronounce or understand French, and 3) can't use a dictionary.

It's a potato cake.

If you have a problem about scallops, wait until you hear about oat milk!

People who think it’s a potato cake hail from areas where sandals with socks are acceptable.

 

[The King!]

Feel like my works done

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I'd argue that this IS a wheat cake though

Is it a Pie or a Pizza?

Post run to the shop it's great

 

[Big Blood]

Damn I can't unsee that.

Essendon, GWS, Gold Coast. Adelaide -- if we can't beat them we don't deserve to play finals.

I rest my case.

2 metre Peter bothers me, we don't have a great match up

I gather you're more of the 'boomer' vintage...

So I raise you a Cindy Crawford

No VFL. We have yet another bye. FFS.

Only Spuds call potato cakes, potato scallops. These are the folk who have pineapple on pizza, decry toasties and cannot spell Parma.

Potato cake, potato scallop or a potato fritter?

It’s a delicious, oily treat – that is the one thing everybody agrees on. But somehow it is the greatest divider between the Aussie states.

A survey, initiated by Dr Vaughan and fellow linguists Rosey Billington and Katie Jepson, found Western Australians and South Australians preferred to call it a potato fritter.

Victorians stood by potato cake while those in NSW believed it was a scallop.

Pineapple is a perfect item for pizza if you are going for a sweet, sour, salty, Chili flavour. Eg Thai chicken.

Toasties are great.

Parmi's are fair but not great. Schnitzel, covered with cheese and chilli flakes was a staple 30 years ago.

Swans by 17.

2/1 odds that essendon fans will boo buddy.

Been a while since I've been to the footy - appreciate some ticketing help.

Ticketmaster only showing a handful of GA reserved seating options (L3 behind the goals at the Coventry end) - is that because there are still others to be released? Or because most of the ticketing will be unreserved GA?

Thanks

 

[sataris]

We've had the toasties & scallops.

Feel like we're missing something.

Let me see if i can screw it open.

 

[Dangas]

Damn I can't unsee that.

Essendon, GWS, Gold Coast. Adelaide -- if we can't beat them we don't deserve to play finals.

Out of all those clubs, GWS is the form side in the comp. I agree if we make finals, it will be because we have beaten those 4 and deserve the spot.

Can't believe I'm saying this but we probably need Hickey or Ladhams back against the bombers

Against the Dogs, although McLean was slaughtered in hitouts, he was able to nullify English's influence around the ground, which took away an important part of the Dogs' game.

Against Freo, McLean similarly stopped Luke Jackson

's influence around the ground.

Phillips' strength is also taps but he doesnt really offer much around the ground so McLean won't really be taking away anything from Essendon

I'm sure that if either Hickey or Ladhams are fit enough and tuned up enough one will be picked and probably Amartey will be managed. Otherwise rinse and repeat.

This explains so much about The King!

 

[caesar88]

By virtue of being pretty much the only tall on the list who can work with Buddy in a forward line, McDonald & Amartey in a forward line, and be a back-up ruck to Hickey or Ladhams, McLean has made himself the common denominator. He pretty much gets a game in every combination of talls or structural dynamic we decide to explore now. Credit to him.

Wouldn't want to take 2 rucks against just Phillips though and cant have both Bud and McLean lumbering around slowly. Even if Amartey didn't do much last game he can make defenders sweat a bit moving around

 

[sr20]

No injuries (touchwood), no suspensions, no change?

Probably the first time for the year.

Maybe change the sub, not sure why Longmire is persisting with Clarke given he seems too scared to deploy him, when the sub should be used to our advantage when used tactically.

Potato cake

Potato Scallop

Can we all get back to laughing at how there are people old enough to go to clubs that haven't seen Essendon win a final?

Incorrect.

The second is Scalloped Potatoes.

The first is a potato scallop (singular), as in of the same shape except cooked differently.

Scallop refers to the type of cut. A cake is made of several components and baked.

/discussion.

Hope we have our goal kicking boots on again. It was refreshing to see us kick well, especially hayward. Imo bombers will be fired up, scott will give them a bake so our composure needs to be maintained. If we put a similar level of pressure as we have last 2 weeks then we'll cause plenty of turnovers. We can't take this game lightly.

You'll be in trouble for talking about the game at hand
