Hmm thought we might've played a few more essendon listed players with the week off. Big test Laycock vs Bellchambers here, if Belly outshines Laycock he could be in some serious trouble.

Aren't they playing the full quoter of AFL listed players?

Is it usual to have a night VFL game? This is the first ive heard of it.
I feel sorry for JJ, he works his guts out week in week out in the 2nds, and if he hasn't got a call up with all the injuries, i doubt he'll get one for the rest of the year and then get delisted. Shouldn't happen to champs like him.

His time was up at the end of last year and he should have pulled the pin.
2 year contract was absolute madness and the club and Sheeds were negligent in actually giving him that.
We should have phased out JJ along with Bolton, Heff and Pev a lot quicker than what we have.

Totally agree, Sheeds has a lot to answer for in my books. Add to that list Hennemen and im still wondering why we recruited camporeale, zantuck and idiots like them.

Interesting that none of Daniher, Myers, Hislop or Neagle are playing. I thought they would all need the run.
Great to see Lonergan & Reimers back too.

Get over it
Everyone here knows the story. It is dusted.
And re JJ, KS and the club wanted to give him a one year contract but he would not budge. Wanted a two year contract. He got it and we got the player we wanted for a year, plus one.
There is a human side to this.

Human side?
The only human side of this was JJ's selfishness in wanting more than he was worth.
The club,it's members and supporters don't need to offer him a free ride.
He should have been man enough and realistic enough to say I'll take a one year contract and work my butt off to get another one.
He used to be one of my favourite players but I have lost a lot of respect for him now.
Is there a limit to the number of guys who can run out for Bendigo from the Essendon list?
I would have thought that guys like Hislop would need another game for match fitness, even if they were going to stay in the seniors.

Fair enough i hear you, but perhaps sometimes there is too much of a human side. To get anywhere in this world unfortunately you have to be ruthless.

That's just not correct.
Anyway, they took a chance with JJ and it turns out that the ways things have gone it's hasn't worked well. The club obviously decided that JJ was worth the risk of a two year contract. It might have turned out better for us, but it didn't. It's hardly the end of the world. It's not like we've missed out on a whole heap by him going on for another year, he's just not in the team.

I might be contradicting myself here but i guess at the end of the day JJ did deserve 2 years after the service he gave us.

Bendigo Bombers will this week be boosted by the inclusion of several Essendon players as the VFL side take on Frankston at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Saturday night.
After suffering hamstring injuries in the early part of the season Leroy Jetta and Sam Lonergan will play this weekend as they try to regain fitness and touch before coming back into the senior Essendon side.
Jetta played in last weekend’s loss to Port Adelaide and will no doubt be better for a run with Bendigo on Saturday night, while Lonergan will make his first appearance since injuring his hamstring in the loss to the Western Bulldogs a month ago.
Also playing for Bendigo this week will be one of last week’s three Essendon debutants, Jarrod Atkinson and he will joined by youngsters Tayte Pears and Kyle Reimers who did not play in last week’s loss to Port Adelaide.
Although Bendigo has not won since their season opener against Tasmania at Windy Hill, this week presents a great opportunity to build some momentum following the split round and the week off.
Essendon Coach Matthew Knights has shown a willingness to give his young players an opportunity to test themselves at AFL level and it is great motivation for those selected in the Bendigo side to perform well.
Frankston sit one game ahead of Bendigo on the VFL ladder and it promises to be a tight encounter as the Bombers look to get another win on the board under lights on home soil at Queen Elizabeth Oval.
Bendigo Bombers play Frankston at Queen Elizabeth Oval, Bendigo at 7pm on Saturday, 10 May.

I'm a Frankstonian lad, and i'll still be supporting my Bombers. Went down last year i think it was with a few of me mates to the Frankston/Bendigo game, essendon fans they are, and they are yelling abuse at the Bendigo players, cheering on Frankston. Don't know how they could do it, i love Frankston, but anytime i see a team pull on that Essendon jumper of the red and black, just gotta support them. Except Coburg, ofcourse ;)

Excellent to hear that Laycock played well! We all know he has the talent, but we have become justifiably frustated with his lacklustre efforts on the field. Ive been a massive fan of Jetta after we drafted him and I look forward to seeing him play against the Swans next week. Its players like him that we need to be getting game time into. Love Reimers grunt also and expect him to slot straight back into the 22 next week. Hope Pears comes into the team.
Good to see the boys get a win. Saw their game on ABC a couple of weeks back and they were shocking.

4 goals from the two ruckmen, bonus.
I'll wait for a fellow member to post a report or wait for the one on essendonfc.com.au before I get too carried away with Laycock's game.

Nice to see Jetta, Reimers and Laycock in the best. I hope they all play next week. Jetta will own Sydney with his pace.
Aslo Pears in the best he could be back but if Fletch comes back he might not get a game.

100% agree. Some might say his time was up at the end of '06.

Bombers dig deep
12/05/2008
THE Metricon Bendigo Bombers fans endured a roller-coaster ride as they watched their team win Saturday night’s clash with Frankston Dolphins under the QEO lights.
At half-time they cheered loudly as the Bombers went in to the rooms leading by 40 points.
Bendigo’s pressure, pace and one per cent plays was outstanding in the first hour of the contest.
The first quarter included goals by Jason Johnson, No.1 ruckman Jason Laycock, and also by first-game players Steven Stroobants and Nathan Meade.
The Bombers added another four goals in the second quarter as Tom Bellchambers, Kyle Reimers, Jon Coghlan and Laycock were on target.
Frankston’s sole goal was by Justin Berry on the run from 55 m in the 14th minute of the term.
Momentum swung dramatically in the third quarter as the Dolphins swept forward in waves.
Frankston’s intensity and run was far greater and the forwards began to win a lot more contests.
The Dolphins slammed on five consecutive goals, four of them in five minutes, to turn up the heat.
Bellchambers was freed in a marking contest and booted Bendigo’s only goal of the term.
By three quarter-time the red and black led by just nine points.
Frankston’s run rolled on in the last as it scored four consecutive goals to lead 80-65 at the 22nd minute.
By that time the Dolphins had scored 9.5 to 1.4 in the second half as the Bombers’ hopes nosedived.
Then it was the Bombers’ time to turn the contest on its head.
A Stewart Crameri mark and goal from the 50 m arc was the spark that the Bombers needed.
Bendigo won the next centre break and capitalised as Tom Bellchambers marked and passed to Jarrod Atkinson for a goal.
At the 24 minute mark the Dolphins led 80-77 as play see-sawed between the half-back lines.
Atkinson was in the play again as he swooped on the loose ball after a team-mate’s high kick from the swimming pool wing and goaled on the run to put Bendigo back in front.
Somehow the Bombers had scored three goals in eight minutes, and just as importantly halted the Dolphins’ wave of attacks.
Minutes later and the Bombers celebrated a dramatic victory.
Medals were struck to mark the 150th year of Australian Football celebrations.
Best afield honours and the Bendigo medal went to Jason Laycock.
The medallist for Frankston was Paul Kennedy.
Victorious Bombers coach Adrian Hickmott said there was a lot to be learnt, and gained from the match.
‘‘We went in at half-time leading by eight goals, a position that a lot of these boys had not been in for a long time.
‘‘Maybe the boys thought we would just take off from where we left off,’’ Hickmott said of the mental approach leading into the third quarter.
‘‘Frankston really lifted its run and pressure in the third quarter, and we dropped away.
‘‘To the boys’ credit they really dug deep and found something late in the game.’’
Hickmott said the camaraderie and willingness to help one another between the Essendon-listed and Bendigo-based players really shone through.
‘‘At 15 points down late in the game, they could have thought that’s it, all over.
‘‘Our fitness was a huge factor in the last 10 minutes of the game, as was the determination to keep on going.’’
Hickmott said the Bombers would gain a massive amount of belief from the victory.
‘‘Our work without the ball was really important,’’ Hickmott said of Bendigo’s play on building a big lead in the first half.
‘‘It’s those one per centers - tackles, shepherds, smothers, knock ons - that all add up.
‘‘They may not be noticed by a lot of the fans, but they are so important.’’Hickmott said Laycock’s play - in the ruck or up forward -was outstanding.
Leroy Jetta marked his first game since a hamstring injury by winning a lot of the football on the wing and across half-back, and Kyle Reimers also provided a lot of rebound.
A first-year player in the VFL, Blair Holmes was again among Bendigo’s best, along with Tayte Pears and Stewart Crameri.
The senior debut by Meade and Stroobants, a late call-up for Brent Hartigan who was battling an ankle injury, was also one to remember.
The Bombers will be back on home turf at the QEO for this Sunday’s clash with Williamstown.][/QUOTE]

Sensational that Laycock won the medal. Maybe it (being dropped) was the rocket he needed? Do you bring him back this week or leave him there for another week with Bendigo to make sure the fire is well and truly alight?
Great that Jetta & Reimers got through unscathed. Did Lonergan get through the game?
i say reward his good effort and play paddy in defence. paddy did a good job on micky o last time we played them
Did Lonergan get through the game?
Not sure why, but Sam didn't play although he is a chance to return to the seniors this week
