[Ben the Gooner]

Whose run will Gus be trying to curtail? I think there's still some doubt over McPharlin (or there was on Friday on the Freo board), and I think Hayden may have to play tall on a Neagle or a Lloyd. Would he be trying to tag Mundy?

Another point which was raised on the Freo board is Sandilands going forward. If that happens, I'd like to see Paddy move from Tarrant to Pavlich, Fletch from Pavlich to Sandlilands, and NLM to Tarrant. That frees Hille up to unleash havoc further up the ground.

Also, I'd like to see Myers on Palmer, but I think that's something Sheeds would have done rather than Knighter. Maybe Welsh to him, but Bell is another candidate. Their midfield doesn't really have a standout to be targetted like Hawthorn, West Coast and Carlton had for Welsh.

Still pretty confident about this one. We're simply a better team, in better form. Dons by 27.

[Bomber57]

Am of to the game today to watch the Dons win easily, over cast around 17c with possibly some rain.

[gloryandfame]

I hope Lucas can continue on that 7 goal last quarter last time he played at subiaco. It should be a close game.

[Bachar Houli]

I thought Dyson was in?

I'd perfer to see Gus not following nor tagging but playing his own game as he did last week. In any event our forward line is tall and Gus is needed at the fall of the ball, as is any other mid. Also I'd like to back Gus' form last week to consolidate things for him. It is worht the investment and changable at worst.

The Myers palmer thing is a classic and would love to see it. Palmer may get more of the ball but Myers will do VERY well off his lack of defensive play and contribute more in set ups. If it plays that way then it leaves Reimers on Solly which is just a bad day for the tribunal but a great day for the spectacule.

David Hille for mine is the key. We already owe this fella alot. He has to maintain his sensational form not only to cover our lack of a second ruckman but also Sandilands inevitable presence and tap work. This is the one day Lazycock could stand up for contributions. Last week really didn't really warrant another run for this bloke but how do you support hille???? We need to consider this going forward.

If Jay gets his 10-14 possessions I am sure there are 2-3 goals in it but it is Matty and Scotty who will lead us through this one. Ball delivery is essential today in the spaces of subi with a tall forward structure, and we have shown a great flair for losing on the rebound. Lovett may or may not come to play when we need him and we are tall. Give these guys a crack and pin the sherrin on the sash.

Good luck to the WA boys, there are a few of them. I will single Jetta out for a big day. It is exactly this kind of match that may make the lad.

A little partisan but will say the Bombers by 4 goals

[GoldenboyHird_5]

whispers are that Neagle will miss for atkinson

[bomba4eva]

Most confident Ive been for a while going to Subiaco. Guess the teams usually arent this pathetic when we travel over there. Our forward line has plenty of depth to stretch the Dockers defence. Neagle may be out though which lowers our potency. Monfries has been superb the last 6 weeks culminating in his brilliant game last week. Lets hope he maintains his strong form.
Will be keeping my eye out for Jetta again. Developed a strange obsession over the past 2 months. His forward pressure has been ok but he simply doesnt get enough of the ball. Fortunately he still has plenty of time on his side.

Myers on Palmer is a mouth-watering prospect. Wonder what former poster Sanj thinks of the decision to recruit Myers now;)

[james_omahoney]

whispers are that Neagle will miss for atkinson

I'd be very surprised if this turned out to be the case, training or no training for neagle.

[Hirdismyhero]

I thought Dyson was in?

Yeah he is, the other 3 were on the expanded bench.
It's a shame really, I would've rathered Pev to come back in.

[Darealrath]

I'm cautiously confident...

[S.C[BANKS]]

I have a feeling we would lose this one......

[MadBomberfan]

Am of to the game today to watch the Dons win easily, over cast around 17c with possibly some rain.

Do us a favour would you while you're there?

That dude with the bell, who rings it every time Peter Bell gets a touch. Shove it up their arse for me. And far enough to mute the noise when they get up to go to the bar.

Thanks. :thumbsu:

[The Dustbin]

Neagle out, Peverill in. McPharlin out, Head in.

[S.C[BANKS]]

Radio coverage if you don't have foxtel.

ABC774

[MadBomberfan]

Jay out. Pev comes in.
McFarlane out for Freo.

Just announced on Fox.

[Big Blow Hard]

Weather has been a bit rough I think. Maybe don't want to go in to tall. Another running player in Pev.

[MadBomberfan]

Jay out. Pev comes in.
McFarlane out for Freo.

Just announced on Fox.

Sorry, already posted. :o

[Bachar Houli]

Will Lloyd play FF now that Neagle is out?

[Lach72]

Thank god Dodd is back...the thought of Thornton playing on either Lloyd or Lucas gives me cold sweats :o

[S.C[BANKS]]

6 - 3 Essendon

McVeigh first goal.

[Big Blow Hard]

All it deserved Tarrant.

[Big Blow Hard]

Mayne goes alright for a Shirle Temple wannabe. :thumbsu:

[S.C[BANKS]]

Rama with the goal. 12 - 10 Essendon.

Jetta goal assist.

[S.C[BANKS]]

Leroy Jetta killing it, great pass to Lloyd!

Edit - Lloyd Goal.

[Grey Smith Bar]

Sounds like Jetta is having a good start.

[Spikey]

Can we unban Bomberbill 22 or whatever his/her name was?

[S.C[BANKS]]

Great mark Jason!

[Spikey]

;11543883']Great mark Jason!


Does he think he's Hille or something?

[Big Blow Hard]

Does he think he's Hille or something?


Cmon, you know how he is. Will take a mark like that occasionally to tease us as to how good he potentially could be, then goes bach to his lethergic old self.

[S.C[BANKS]]

lol I don't know Spikey :D

Anyway, Quarter Time Essendon lead by 3 points!

[Ben the Gooner]

Jetta looking good.
Welshy's doing very well and getting a fair bit of the ball.
Laycock responsible for Spike's goal. He's playing well.
Nash needs to be tighter on Bell.
Carr got Reimered.
Lovett looking lively.
Smokey dropping a few easy marks.
Lucas still looks out of touch.
Lloyd > You.
Reimers looking good.
Stanton doing alright.
Hille ditto.
Ryder/NLM/Pev practically anonymous.
A lot of players are slipping over.

Good to have the lead at quarter time.

[Spikey]

How's Ricky been?

[MadBomberfan]

1/4 time.

Ess 3.2.20
Freo 2.5.17

Reasonable start. We're a bit fumbly at times, Jetta good.

[Spikey]

Carr got Reimered.



I hope Carr gets Nat-rated again too.

[Big Blow Hard]

How about some Holding the balls against freo ump, shit!

[Big Blow Hard]

thankyou, lol.

[eddie_punchclock]

the guy ringing that bell should be ejected from the ground...... :thumbsd:

[S.C[BANKS]]

Margin 15 points, Fremantle.

[MadBomberfan]

We are losing the plot here. The fumbling is getting worse, giving away stupid free kicks, looking slow.

Get on with it! :mad:

[S.C[BANKS]]

14 points, Hille with the goal.

[eddie_punchclock]

needed that one, been an ordinary quarter so far

[Big Blow Hard]

Given them one back all too easily though:mad:

[Big Blow Hard]

What have we gotta do to get a holding the ball decision?! FFS

[eddie_punchclock]

[S.C[BANKS]]

back to 14, Adam with the goal.

[Big Blow Hard]

lol. true.

Stanton Goal. 48 - 40.

[eddie_punchclock]

goals to mcphee + stanton, we're 8pts down

[Big Blow Hard]

;11544277']back to 14, Adam with the goal.


Fantastic Mark too, back with the flight. :thumbsu:

[S.C[BANKS]]

back to 8 points, Stanton.

Good comeback I guess.

[S.C[BANKS]]

Fantastic Mark too, back with the flight. :thumbsu:


Yeah good mark. :thumbsu:

[S.C[BANKS]]

Hille got two! down 1.

EDIT - half time, Dustin leaves the ground and we're down by one.

[B-Bomber]

Woot, back to 1 point.

Bah, fletcher injured his finger.

[Big Blow Hard]

Woot, back to 1 point.

Bah, fletcher injured his finger.

Dislocated I think. Pull it back in and grit it out.

Better second half of the quarter.

Reimers and Dyson need to get into it. Dyson has done nought! Might be a short stay in the seniors.

[S.C[BANKS]]

Also Jobe with 10 kicks!!! and 5 handballs.

Wow....;)

Im actually surprise he got 4 disposals. I thought it will be lower than that.

[kelvin_sheedy]

Hille, McVeigh and Jetta keeping us in the game.

We are lucky we aren't 6 goals down.

Our tackling has been dismal. Too many high tackles.

Monfries disposal and decision making has been woeful - undoing a lot of his hard work.

They are one man down so if we can stay with them in the third quarter there's a good chance we can run over the top.

[The Dustbin]

Nash has given away a some sloppy free kicks. Jetta has been excellent, hope he can kick on in the 2nd half.

If it wasn't already clear by now, Dyson and Peverill are best suited to VFL level.

Looking forward to the 2nd half. :thumbsu:

Especially McVeigh. Had 11 disposals in that 2nd quarter I think.

[Ben the Gooner]

How's Ricky been?

Not shocking. He needs to get into the contest more, but what he's had hasn't been bad at all. Had the first inside 50 of the game, a huge kick to Lucas.

More thoughts:
NLM out of his depth on Tarrant
Who's on Head?
Matthew Nicholls is a ____ing ____.
Pev/Reimers/Dyson/Nash need to get more of the ball.
Sandilands is massive. Ryder looked like a midget on him.
The umpires are shit.
Lloyd is a gun.
Lucas still looks out of sorts.
Spike great in the second half of that quarter.
Fletch not great on Pav atm, but a few of Pav's goals have been lucky. That dislocated finger won't help at all.
Hille is a superstar.
Chook hasn't been bad.
Welshy's been excellent again.
Myers - did he come back on after that split nose? I didn't notice him.
Lonergan is being Lonergan.
We're missing the extra option of Neagle.
We were looking slow in the first half of that quarter.
Jetta has been electric when he's had the ball and tackling well. Hasn't had a heap of touches, but they've all been good. Up yours, bomberbill22.
Lovett good in patches.
Stanton has been his usual self - getting a lot of the ball, and using it well.
Jobe has been excellent.
I'd like to see Myers given a role in some set plays like Head has been - he's got a booming kick on him as well.
Monfries has been alright. Not as good as last week, but he's had a lot of the ball. Needs to improve disposal, but hasn't been shocking.
Rama kicked a good goal, but has been missing since then.

If I've missed anyone, they've either been themselves, and haven't stood out, or they've been shit and I haven't noticed them.

[The Dustbin]

Not shocking. He needs to get into the contest more, but what he's had hasn't been bad at all. Had the first inside 50 of the game, a huge kick to Lucas.

Your too kind. Been ordinary (2 kicks & 2 handballs) since his kick to Lucas in the 1st minute of play.

[Ben the Gooner]

Your too kind. Been ordinary (2 kicks & 2 handballs) since his kick to Lucas in the 1st minute of play.

Look for him to pick up towards the end of the game, on the big ground, where his huge engine will come in handy.

[S.C[BANKS]]

Dustin not starting in the 3rd quarter.

[S.C[BANKS]]

Brent with the goal, Monfries with the assist.

Dons up by 7.

[Big Blow Hard]

It's early but we should be able to notch up our 3rd win in a row here. Comfortable lead with Freo only having a single man on the bench.

Off to hospital with a suspected punctured lung. The first of many to be going to hospital after being Reimered

Should have slaughtered them in that 3rd q, now Freo get the first of the last quarter.

C'mon Bombers, keep going.
