Preview Sydney v Essendon SCG

Anyone know what is wrong with the Fantastic Mr Fox?

Not a great time to go out. You'd almost want to be in a wheelchair to give up your spot in this team....

Unless the boys are all on a train, in which case you'd hope one of them gives up their spot for the one in a wheelchair.

Haywards done it to good effect before

Reckon sending Hayward to Martin would be a great shout. He's capable of nullifying Martin's impact on their offence and he mauling Martin in one-on-ones.

Martin got a lot footy last week but butchered it. Would be good to make sure that's the case again this week, especially with Redman out.

. I think no key position back warrants over a million a year and hopefully this will be confirmed. Related to this, Barrass was very underwhelming last week and certainly doesn't look to be worth what we were offering. In contrast, Melican is killing it, working seamlessly with the whole defensive unit. Defence is very much about the group as a whole not just the individual contests.

He did look good last week against the Hawks b-grade forward line.

Maybe he too is an inbreed, which would explain his level of comfort in his new surroundings.

we seem to be stuck on playing Martin off HB though rather than the wing, and with our backline decimated dont see that changing this week.

he isn't getting up the ground near enough as he does when he plays a true wing role so dunno if he needs a nullifying role played on him is worth it. Hayward is probably the match up but Hayward would probably just need to make martin accountable defensively., if he does that that then we will likely win the matchup.

It's hard to look good when you're working with the Eagles midfield

 

[Nuggetz]

Bring the pressure & hardness from the 2 previous matches & we'll win comfortably. Only tag the bombers players if they're damaging with the footy. I hope wicks gets a full game.

Barrass had 4 possessions, 1 mark, 0 tackles from 96% ToG with the ball living in WCE defensive 50. Crap midfield or not, that is a terrible performance from one of the higher paid, senior leaders in a struggling side.

Anyone else get a weird text message about your ticket being forwarded?

Yes. Confused me for a while. Then received another shortly afterwards confirming the first was sent in error.

Thanks, I got the second message now as well

My wife received the first message too. We were worried we had been hacked

 

[brad cooper]

We always have close games against this lot, overwhelming favourites isn't something I like particularly against a team we've struggled with over the past few years. Need to be switched on from the start or we will be inviting trouble.

Parish now out for the Dons

That was my initial reaction too.

Parish now out for the Dons

Great, I was looking forward to another 42-possession, Supercoach-masterclass performance from Parish that wreaks as much havoc on the opposition as a slap across the face with a wet lettuce leaf...

 

[Crust]

Stop Perkins. He was very good v Hawthorn last week and delivered from the centre to the forwards very well.

Parish now out for the Dons

It’s time to classify this as a danger game.

 

[ShireSwan]

The only thing stopping us from smashing them should be complacency or not kicking straight in front of goal.
Swans need to make a statement and win this by 40.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The Dons Board has some very amusing posters.

Don’t know the following poster but this cracked me up

First time I have been confident Buddy won't kick a bag against us.

legit should spank em. if we lose then a massive issue of complacency or injuries

 

[Tesla Tenet]

Just read the Collingwood autopsy thread, wonderful meltdown and very salty.

Yes and Schultz is a . A 1st and 2nd round pick was criminal.

Huge opportunity for our key forwards tomorrow. I suspect McKay will take McLean and that will leave Amartey and McDonald playing on undersized defenders.

I suspect Heeney will wreak havoc every time he goes forward too. They don't have a suitable match-up for him.
