Wouldn't mind seeing Dyson get a run for some extra speed against a very quick West coast outfit.
Wasn't Watsons injury a 3 week one?

See that article on him in the paper last week ? (forget which day sorry).
I'd play Mercuri forward. That's where he belongs. Tell him it's his last chance to perform. Then to Bendigo if he can't get a kick.
How long are M.Johnson and McVeigh expected to be out for now? :(

If you're telling me you would play Winderlich of Misiti. Well evryone is entitled to their own opinion, but Winderlich is too small, he doesn;t work hard enough, has no confidence at the moment. Essentially, needs game time in the 2s and lots of it. And another pre-season might not go astray.
Mercuri is just hopeless, how many times did he go sideways, how many forward thrusts did he stuff up. Needs to play well next week or he can pss off to the magoos for good. What a waste of talent he has become.

The club website is saying one more week.
mercuri is not a backmans bootlace!

Winderlich is essentially not getting a game over Misiti. It is because of team balance and structure. Winderlich's problem is that he is being dragged every 10 minutes. He needs to be put in the forward pocket and left there for at least a quarter and a half. Then slowly work him into the midfield as the year progresses.
Essendon cannot afford to have Misiti, Peverill and Watson in the midfield together. They are all slow. Simple logic tells us that Misiti, and maybe Peverill are not going to take us to the top again - so one plays for Bendigo. If Watson doesn't come up this week then I'd have Joey in the side. He is still good enough to make a good contribution off ther bench, but the days of him being in out Top 4 midfielders are over. He lacks speed, presence and penetration.

I understand where winderlich is playing, but simply - he is not ready - I think it is time a different kid is given a crack as he hasn't taken his, even if he is coming off and on, his lack of presence can not go unnoticed.
Unfortunately for us, the best we looked all nightn is when Misiti gets the ball. He is essentially the only midfielder in our team who can kick to position - not 10m too long - or 10m wide of the target, actually out in front of the leading player. I realise with he, watson and peverill we look too slow, but that just means you don;t play them all in the centre at the same time. Anyway, if they get it, it doesn't matter how slow they are as we will ahve the ball.

If Lloyd is suspended then put Lucas at FF and Hille at CHF.
**** Henna off, he's garbage. Richards in to the forward line. Misiti on the bench and Mercs anywhere but defence! Lucas at CHF as I dont think WC have a tall key defender to take Lucas.
Look I think they'll kill us in the centre but I think if we can win our fair share of the ball like round 8 last year where we were severly undermanned against a red hot eagle side at the time then we r not without a very good chance. We have to try and expose their lack of KPP's around the ground.
Hard to have VFL form when we don't until Saturday afternoon!!!

1. Swap Dyson with Solomon, sure give dyson a game but solomon deserves the starting position over him,
2. Swap Rama and Bolton, rama may be unfit but he's getting there and still ****s over a fit bolton on the wing, bolton was ok in defence lets leave him there and see how he goes.
3. Is hunt really a chance of getting a game? i don't know anything about his recent form.
4. Can see your reasoning with walsh on the wing, but i'd give winderlich the run there first, at least he's been in the team and hopefully is getting used to playing in the seniors.

Original side now edited to take into account Watson's absence.
What is the general consensus on the side I posted first? I am hoping to use that one as the "majority rules" side - although somebody has to start it so I am going to do that each week.

when is cupido expected back?
we need to kick goals!!
Cupido listed as 2 weeks away.
In light of Lloyd's suspension, I make the change to my team this way:
Out: Lloyd.
Richards from Interchange to Full-Forward
Bradley into Emergencies
In: Winderlich to the bench

Put Fletcher full forward. Just for the **** of it Sheeds.
Height in defence vs the eagles isn't such a priority anyway.

Not a bad idea actually...

would Cartledge be able to play Full Forward or Laycock? (not sure about injuries.
if not Fletcher may be the man though i wouldnt mind seeing Richards thrown in the deep end. If sheedy dares to put Mercuri on phil Metera ill come into the box and break his head open with a rusty can opener.
Lloyd, Cupido out...
Where are the ****ing goals going to come from ?!
Huge forward line problems now with lloyd out. I'd go with teddy richards at full forward. He proved last year against Adelaide that he can kick goals under pressure. Deserves another shot.

I'd go with Hille or Fletcher at FF. Hird may spend some time there too. One of the worst games for Llyod to miss as West Coast really struggle to stop a good tall forward.

lufc618 agree with your sentiments. Look it is quite simple. Either Richards is good enough to play senior footy or he is not. the only way to find out is to give him a shot. Isolate him in the square, but a crumber at his feet (do we even have any aside from Rioli) and give him a crack at it. throw Lucas to CHF and tell Hille that if plays like a girl again, then he can fcuk off to bendigo for a week and cartledge can have a shot.

I agee, in that Adelaide game Teddy seemed to play very well one out deep in the foward line, and after that game he was basically given the flick from the team, or put on a foward flank which didnt seem to suit him much.
also agree with pevers about Hille. He needs to clench his teeth and throw his body round a bit.....cos he will hurt blokes.
one other player that is due for some form is Marc Bullen, he needs to lift this week and really hav an impact in the midfield.
Our defence looks good, but as we saw last week, it doesnt matter how many times Rioli and co. rebound of half back if our half foward line is non existant.....maybe play fletcher at CHF, and utilise his long kicking. Im not a fan usually of taking Fletch away from the back line, but desperate times.....

one or both of Lucas and Fletcher should play forward, but it may depend on whether Welly comes up, and who their key tall forward is, they only have a couple of youngsters.
The Team
Welsh Fletcher Solomon
Rioli McPhee Bolton
Alvey Bullen Rama
Richards Lucas Murphy
Winderlich Hille Reynolds
Allan Pev Hird
INT: Wellman, Walsh, Mercuri, Stanton
EM: Bradley (If Welly doesn't come up)
With Wellman in it will allow Fletch to move into the forward line for a couple of quarters, and Hille to give Allan a rest in the ruck. Hird will also play forward at times. I don't think Lloyd is such a huge loss for this game, at least it will give Richards another chance, and Fletch'll be able to float forward at times as they ain't that tall.

Lloydy is back in, and Cousins may be injured.
Still the prospect of Mercs on Sampi scares **** out of me. I can see him kicking a last minute goal for the win.

We're gonna get smashed anyway, why not think outside the box? I suppose Alvey could be put on the bench. I couldn't think of anyone else to crumb; we don't have anybody.
Irrelevant now that Lloyd's back anyway.

I reckon we will win this. I expected a thumping from Port and a comprehensive loss to St. kilda (they clearly outplayed us). This week I reckon with WC not being able to play away from home that well. We just need to get off to a good start and I reckon we can win a hard fought game - just. 15 points, although Lloyd and Lucas will have to play well up forward (and we know one will, will the leadership man do it as well though)
Good to see Marcuz' man Dyson getting a run.

Looking forward to seeing how Dyson goes. It's good to see a bit of speed added to the line up. Maybe he could do a tagging role on judd or cousins(if he plays).
