View Full Version : Guerra & Mead - Out!
Can't understand why the Guru has been dropped.
Meady obviously, but Guerra not right IMO.
Che & Lade are back.
For Essendon, Mercuri is back and Hird & Lloyd have also been named.
The line up (from portadelaidefc.com.au)PORT ADELAIDE
Backs: Poulton, Paxman, Kingsley
Half Backs: Montgomery, Bishop, Hardwick
Centreline: James, Carr, Schofield
Half Forwards: Dew, Tredrea, Wanganeen
Forwards: S Burgoyne, C Cornes, P Burgoyne
Followers: Primus, N Stevens, Francou
Interchange: French, ****atoo-Collins, K Cornes, Lade
Emergencies:M Stevens, Guerra, Bassett
IN: Lade, ****atoo-Collins
OUT: Mead, Guerra (both omitted)
Essendon's team:
B: M.Johnson Jacobs Bolton
HB:Ramanauskas Lucas Wellman
C:Peverill Caracella Heffernan
HF:Barnard Hird Rioli
F:Alessio Lloyd Mercuri
R:Salmon Misiti J.Johnson
INT:Moorcroft Welsh Blumfield McVeigh
EMG:Henneman Forster-Knight McGrath
IN: Mark Mercuri, James Hird
OUT: Sam Hunt (omitted), Dustin Fletcher (suspended - pending appeal)
Personally doubt that Lloyd will play this week. Hird probably will play & Fletcher's appeal is currently on, but can't see him getting off.
** Zombie - backs and forwards now corrected **
I hope the AFL fine Essendon for that ridiculous line up.

And we think Choco submits some dodgy team line-ups;)
Of course the forwards should be backs, but still!

If you can't see why a player has been dropped it might be a bad sign, cause it might mean it's something the coach sees, like, eye to eye. But that's just speculation, bad luck to both of them.
Yep the Guru for one reason or another does have that elusive "gold pass" from Choco yet. Can't really work out why because he reminds me fair bit of Choco, not the most talented but one of the hardest workers (atleast on the field).
Hey Mud, whats going happen to you avatar once we win this week and get him off our backs?:p

Mead is out of form, but Guerra was just the unlucky victim of oversupply.
I thought Guerra again got some useful disposals last week, but Mark obviously wants Che marking and goaling (the marking not being a feature of Guerra's game). I hope it works.

Yep, sh*t if they lose this week that will be two years that they have gone straight out. 3 finals loses in a row (one less than our current monkey situation), atleast the monkey will have a new home and not have to move too far either.
