My tickets are in 113 at the Subi end, so I'm hoping yours are near the West Coast cheer squad, but I suspect they won't be.

I'll avoid any sun in the eyes though

 

[Rack Watts]

Mark Baguley has been phenomenal, I just want to put that out there and leave it hanging.

Im quietly confident I picked the right end here.. and thank god for a night game! (Although might cop a fine from the footy club for skipping training)

 

[Kong]

so... any answer as to why it's on a Thursday?

less time for the two clubs to juice up

Or something?

 

[Pweter]

Really hope Dempsey is right for this game because we could definitely use his run on the bigger ground.

Winders has filled in nicely though so whilst I'd prefer Dempsey in, it's not all doom and gloom should he need another week.

 

[Keystone agony]

Baguley. Or move Carlisle forward. Can't drop Pears after last night. If we do, it's a clear indication that his time at Essendon is up.

Or maybe that everyone else named is better at their roles than he is

 

[Keystone agony]

If fit must ins are Dempsey and Fletcher

Daveys injured right? so i think he is replaced by one of Dell, Jetta, Merrett (probably Dell slightly ahead before even looking at how they performed on the weekend?)

 

[kleanr]

In: Dempsey, Fletcher
Out: Melksham, Pears

Have used ladder predictor, this is what I've come up with:

1. Hawthorn
2. Sydney
3. Fremantle
4. Essendon
5. Geelong
6. Richmond
7. Collingwood
8. Gold Coast

Unfortuantly, we play Hawks in first round of finals. If we loose, we play Geelong. We're boned, lets just own West Coast

who wins the Geelong v Hawthorn game in a few weeks time?
im reserving my seat for that game now

Could allow Dempsey to play higher up the ground and even on a wing.
I love Dempsey down back, but I like what Winderlich has done.

 

[daffo]

There is no way Geelong will fall that much or GC make finals.

 

[Jimbone]

anyone know what niggle heppell is carrying? if at all? afl website has reported spotting him coming in for a scan which is the second time in a few weeks iirc. looked to be moving ok on the weekend so cant be too bad

 

[Tassieboy]

I thought Watson was moving better last week. To me it looked like he has been carrying something.

I reckon OP

big call, take with grain of salt but reports of injuries have been with groin before and i think they are just seeing how its progressing (thus the continued scans) or if its getting worse for that matter.

Im sure theyd love to rest him, this week will help but they dont want to get it to a point where it goes too far, expect him to be one of the first rested with a few easy gigs coming up.

IN: Dempsey, Fletcher (TBC)
Out: Merrett, Pears (Hurley*)

*Only if hurley injured and cant play

"Tall trio in line for west coast trip"

Remember when every week the board would go nuts because a small forward would have a day out against us. That hasn't happened for awhile. God we can be an ungrateful bunch sometimes.

They were Pear times, weren't they.

Tall trio in line for WCE.
http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/2013-06-17/tall-trio-in-line-for-west-coast

IN:Bellchambers

OUT:Hooker

*Ryder to the backline to cover Hooker and play back up ruck man.
*Carlisle forward & Hurley to the backline.

The sub has to be a small.

Won't happen re Hooker out. Nice first post though.

 

[HirdyLannister]

I'm also heading over to this game, getting pretty excited. Section 139 row A I'm guessing that's right on the fence, I hope Watson hugs me after kicking the winning goal like hirdy's moment in the west

Hawks are playing better.

 

[Bark Maguley]

Lets be serious, Hird said that our defense needed to improve and baggers, hooker, carlisle, hibberd, dempsey improved... what more can u ask for.

 

[bomberswarm2]

Pears has got to stay in, we need to get his confidence up. He is still in disgraceful form, well down on his best. Remember in 2009 when he destroyed Fev when we crushed them by 12 goals? Running up the wing and almost kicking goals, we need him back to his best.

Giving him more of a run will help his confidence, yes.

But to call his form disgraceful is very strange. Have you watched his VFL games recently? His game against Gold Coast? Not disgraceful.

 

[Keystone agony]

Hurley wont play IMO and we will play a Ryder/JoeD forward line with TBC rucking.

I personally am not sure if its the way to go against West coast as i think Glass and Emac love the tall forwards and will get on top.
