[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Any chance of a win? You know backs to the wall and all.

No

O'Brien had his career best game on Saturday. I've generally been a critic but he was really good and his disposals were very effective. He looks a perfect matchup for Priddis. He's earnt a spot which can't be said of Melksham

[Duckworth]

Well you've convinced me.

 

[Halftimehero]

Let's not get too carried away with how players performed against Geelong in the VFL, the senior team had 28 players to chose from, our VFL side was pretty much playing a suburban team.

 

[eth-dog]

O'Brien played well. I don't think he'll make it however.

Would rival that of the Freo win in 2013.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Can we change the thread title slightly to 2:35pm AWST/4:35pm AEST? #OCD.

 

[HULK HOGAN]

We must make a statement into which direction we are going to take this week at the selection table this week.
Bring in Browne, Laverde, Edwards and it looks like Giles has to play.
Out go. Chappy ( call it a rest but will surely struggle to get a game after bye) Dempsey, Bellchambers and Gleeson (freshen up).

We can't afford to have Coons and Chappy in the same line up anymore.

 

[Bombers36]

If we can beat the Eagles by 10 goals(unlikely) and Port and Sydney win next week (which they should), we are only 1 game out of the 8...!!

Love the ladder predictor

 

[Eleven 38]

I can't see them making too many changes, they are just going to pick what they think is the best 22..

Surely they have to change something up a bit!!

O'Brien played well. I don't think he'll make it however.

I've thought for a long time that his best chance of making it is to model his game on Cameron Ling's. I hardly get to see any VFL games but from what I have seen and also read he seems to have very similar strengths (stature, endurance, ability to win and find the footy) and weaknesses (questionable hurt factor, one-paced).

Does he ever get any tagging jobs? If so, how has he gone?

That's a good comparison. He hasn't really got any tagging jobs as there aren't really any mids in the VFL good enough for that.

Cheers. Would still like to see him tried in the role if he comes into the seniors.

O'Brien played well. I don't think he'll make it however.

I agree that ultimately NOB won't make it but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be considered this week in the absence of Watson, Myers, hocking , Zaharakis. He can do a role this week as a run with player and I'd rather him do it than Melksham

 

[lets_fly_up]

In: Laverde, browne. Edwards, Giles

Out: gleeson, ambrose/Dempsey , chapman, bellchambers

Edward or laverde as sub

Need pace against the eagles

If we need pace, you have pretty well removed every bit of it by dropping Gleeson and Dempsey.

 

[HULK HOGAN]

Gleeson only had 9 touches on the weekend, doesn't matter how much pace you have if you don't have the ball, Dempsey is playing so clumsy ATM.

 

[MarkG]

Poor by Gleeson. Didn't really notice him at all during the game. Dempsey was trying to create opportunities but kept panicking.

Amazing what a difference it makes when confidence is down.

Issue is that players appear to be too worried about themselves personally. Rather than going out there and playing for the team and basically enjoying playing together as one.

 

[bombers21]

Ever since Dempsey has come into the team Gleeson's form has slumped. Omit Dempsey and give the kid a fair go

[Ambrosia]

I know they keep saying Watson only had a 1 week injury but if he is anything other than 100% fit I'd give him the extra 2 weeks off and hope he comes back raring to go after the bye.

 

[HULK HOGAN]

According to Reidy we can expect Watto and Zacka back this week.
I'll go with in Watto Zacka Browne Laverde and Giles
Out Chapman Gleeson Dempsey Ambrose and Belly.
