Good to see Ch7 using a banner at the bottom of the screen to give all games :laugh: ;D
-
Ivan on his own vs the 2 essendon ruckmen..
-
I'm beginning to think we will wear big Ivan out by the middle of the season :(.........and Miller will get slaughtered this week :help
-
Mmm, ok, well thought we would of gone with onw more tall.. :-\
-
Might be a late change, cant see Ellis playing
-
ellis will play , he had a rest last week
-
Morris shouldnt play this week. I would play Post or Arnot out of the emergencies. Gus can shove it
Cant do any worse than Morris last week plus we need to find out if he can play by giving him half a dozen games like they are doing with Dea now
-
Morris? Are you on drugs?

lmao danny made a booboo
Yes, now we have to wait 48 hours to find out what he really meant :lol :lol :lol

Was hoping we'd bring in a tall to make Fletcher accountable and he can't play goal keeper.

Do you think he will take Jack, if so Jack needs to run him off his feet..hard to do.

I am with Dan, Morris is soft and needs to find some heart

-
lmao danny made a booboo
He must be reffering to someone else...
Anyways I'm corncerned about big evan only getting support from miller
He will be stuffed mid way thru the season imo unless vicks or derickx came to play
-
Still think they will play Gus
This will depends if Hurley gets through training tomorrow ;)
-
no gus rain is forecast

Am kicking about. Just occupied with some coaching. I haven't said anything in a long time to warrant a ban apart from throwing a few insults to my good NT buddies al and smokey the other day. ;D I love both of them though.
48 hours bans are nothing to complain about. The Coach was gawwwn for a month once.
Back on topic! :whistle I thought the Gus was injured?

The other two will take Jack and Miller. Fletcher will get to play goal keeper again, amazing everyone how good he still is racking up cheap possies as a tall, manless defender.

I always look at our side lined up against the Bombers and think we are better.

Dan I don't know if you are mixing up Morris with Ellis but if you mean Morris then I can't say I agree with you. Not one of your best calls and for the most part you are pretty spot on.
Just for the record I think we are playing chess with them and I expect Ellis to come out for Graham or another tall. If Vickery is fit and we have not named him in the emg but he is named on Sat in the team what $ fine is applied.

What time would you recommend to get their folks?
-

This will depends if Hurley gets through training tomorrow ;)
Has been four weeks since he did his hammy Jack. Was apparently ready to play last week.
We'll wait and see. :shh

Pre-match entertainment starts around 6.30

Our midfield certainly stacks up better. I think we're going to have a red hot crack. One team is going to walk away really deflated after losing this one. If we lose, I'm afraid it will kill our self belief and hunger to win the next week over the Dawks.

Yep would agree with this post!

Wtf.. According to Footylite app on my iPhone, Betstar has us $5.35 :huh

Hurley was on Ch One's "The Game PLan" and I have to say he didn't sound convincing when they asked him if he was definitely playing... "he said I hope so"

From the Tigers point of view we could make a late change given Coburg plays on Sunday. :thumbsup

I reckon it depends on how we lose Dwaino. Honourable loss anyone?

I thought about that first, smokey. But how many more 'not quite good enough's can we take? We've already proved we can mix it with the best, but now it's 4 points or nothing.

For sure, I was really referring to the bit about killing our self-belief and hunger. Losing in another tight pressure after the build up of hype and expectation might have the opposite effect - it might galvanise the group to take the final step in the big matches.

I agree Dwaino. Narrow galling losses yeah better than getting flogged or watching this site go into meltdown. Essendon are overrated. We know that and pound for pound our side stacks up well against theirs. It's not so much beating a top 4 side because the jury is still out: it is only round 8 and they haven't done anything of not since 2004, it's about beating a side that if anything will around the 5-8 mark on the ladder and given where we would like to be in 3 months time a win on Saturday night is critical. Plus I want be selfish for me and all of us and to have bragging rights over these so called contender wannabes. :thumbsup
What a win will do is give us the self belief to beat the teams around us when they are in form, not when they have injuries or suspensions or a in a rut for three or four weeks.
Furthermore another reason it's Newy's 200th game. Let's have a win in celebration game. We have had our share of misery at the hands of most opponents on days of their celebration.
We have more reason to win as we have built up the right way and have done it hard and dug deep they have had a much easier ride and their sins are forgiven more easily.
If we can finally break it down further it's not about us or them its about RESPECT. Do we deserve it? Saturday night will tell and I hope we get it but I don't want a close loss consolation call from anyone. It's time to win the big game. We can win a game here or there but these games like Saturday night are the hardest to win. Once we win that first one we'll start winning many more, more regularly more convincingly, more importantly.
Next Saturday against Hawthorn we can talk about the pros and cons of our chances beating a top 4 side and we can start the big game must win process again and next week game has a different story to write and a different feel and consequence of win and loss to it altogether.
It's cliche but one week at a time boys.

That's how I look at the Blues when we go into round one every year......doh

Bit disappointed no changes. Believe it would be beneficial for Ellis to have a run at Coburg. Will be a big task for Maric. Would have taken a punt and played post up forward
-
I think this is a clever idea from the selectors and one I thought they would make. Essendons greatest strength lately has been their spread, run and carry not their big man dominance. Ryder and Bellchambers have been good at feeding their midfield true but Maric will nullify their influence.
By having an additional midfielder who rotates through the forward half, Fletcher will need to be far more accountable and be shown up for pace and agility rather than height. Additionally, Fletcher and the other tall backs will find it much more difficult getting the ball out of their defense with an additional smaller midfielder making them accountable.
Maric should be able to shoulder much of the center square bounces and stoppages through the middle of the ground and backline by playing as a spare man in defense. This gives him time to rest too. It will also mean that he can double team either of Bellchambers and Ryder when they rest in the forwardline. The Bombers will try and man him up and then try and run off him, make him more accountable plus get him running so he blows up when rucking. Miller will ruck in the forwardline with players coming over the top when necessary.
I think its a good tactic but its yet to be seen if it works. :-\

Caught about 15 minute of this morning's training session
All emergencies trained with the main group
-
if we go into this game with one ruckman. prepare for a loss, even if the weather is bad we need 2 rucks.

The weather is meant to be clearing in the afternoon

Just been reading some of the posts over at bomberblitz. Geez those guys have serious tickets on themselves and their team. The're talking like their team has won back to back premierships with another on the way this year. For some reason their Gold Coast narrow escape doesn't seem to rate a mention. A club that was beaten by GWS almost beat them.
I can tell you If we win, I'll be parking myself in the front row with a big gulp and a bucket of popcorn to watch the complete deconstruction of what little humanity exists over there. :lol
-
Can we win?? ....Yes
Will we win?? ....I doubt it.
Will it be over by qtr time? ... I hope not but it wouldn't suprise me.
Have the tigers really changed? ... We'll see. I hope so.

no gus rain is forecast
I agree Jack

Gus probably wouldn't appreciate what the rain does to his cute little hairdo, anyways.
