Browne was crap.  'named in the bests' give me a break.  It's like a bloody junior encouragement award sometimes.

as for morton, if he dont give a toss he should be sacked now

probably being a bit harsh here ,but I dont think mitch farmer cuts the mustard

I was very very very disappointed with one of Farmer's efforts today that cost us a goal.  Shirked a contest badly when running at Franklin and McGuane at the Ponsford end.  Should have helped McGuane out by creating a physical contest, instead he side-stepped and Franklin took possession, goal resulted.  Very poor play by Farmer and you wouldn't like to see it happen again.

Just.  Wow.

To drop him after his best game of the season would be plain cruel.

I know it is but for me was purely match up. Was thinking Nahas rather than White but I just think if Nahas is played exclusively in the forward line I feel that Essendon have no clear match up for him or one they want to go with.

Furthermore Cuz adds to our midfield and Polo has good prior history in this match.

If White stays in I won't be upset either. I know he has pace and Essendon are quite a pacy side when they play the game on their terms.

I am just finding it harder this week to get a few outs of the side based on today's match which I suppose is a good thing.

I'd drop Framer well before White.
Rance too must be vulnerable.

Bring in Cousins and perhaps Polo and Astbury. Jackson may be in trouble for striking. Keep Polak in. Farmer in danger of being dropped. Would be great if Hille got rubbed out. Keep Angus and Vickery in team.

RICHMOND - in the mix

Daniel Jackson is on report and could miss, but Ben Cousins is looking like he'll be fit, so would slide straight into his spot. Nathan Foley has pulled up well, while Tom Hislop or Jake King (1.6 for Coburg) are also a chance, but it would be hard to drop too many from the side that did so well against the Hawks.

Sorry torch but based on the "efforts" for Coburg last Saturday neither Morton or Collins deserve a game this week.

Hislop & King deserve a game more than Morton and Collins

Yep was thinking that too. If Cousins is fit, Cousins plays.

In: Cousins, Thompson

Give Rance another go, at least he is hard at it and doesn't look too bad when in the forward line, his hardness at the contest has enabled us to keep the ball in our forward line longer IMO.

If Rance came out......of the side that is.. ;D then maybe give King a go but we can't run with King and Farmer in the same team IMO. The Bombers are too tall and the combination has not worked this year so far, even though they have played limited games together, it makes us too small IMHO.
