i would like to see zaharakis come in for natrat.

winderlich if fit for nash.

[The_Young_Gun]

Oh awesome has this been confirmed?
Venue and date/time please?

Not sure yet...

I only saw a small glimps on channel 10 after tonight's game. All it said was Brisbane play Bombers next..

[IriDiuM]

Oh awesome has this been confirmed?
Venue and date/time please?
Friday Feb 27, 7:40pm at the Dome

[yaco55]

There will probably be 8 or 9 changes as per the rotation system.

[bomberstomake8]

There will probably be 8 or 9 changes as per the rotation system.

yeah id say all the players who were not meant to play on friday may get week 2 off, lloyd gumbelton watson hille?

[saladin]

it's so far off that it's difficult to say. hurley won't be ready, but reimers, myers and probably pears should be. zaha you'd think will get a run. maybe even lucas might play a quarter.

if it was next week, i think lloyd might have skipped. i think gumby will play again - he just needs footy now, and a fair bit of it -, and i reckon Still will be given at least one game. quinn probably keeps playing

at a guess, i'll say Zaha, myers, reimers, Still in and dyson, nash, t slatts and lloydy out. but the fortnights break makes it impossible to say how the rotation will work - mcveigh looked well underdone, but probably has to play.

presumably there will be an intraclub next weekend to keep some continuity? i think this extended 1st round is actually counter-productive.

[DaSawx]

yeah id say all the players who were not meant to play on friday may get week 2 off, lloyd gumbelton watson hille?

Yeah, definately a possibility, Knights will probably like to get at least 2-3 games into most players like he did last year, so there could be quite a few changes.

P.S. anyone for NLM

[saladin]

There will probably be 8 or 9 changes as per the rotation system.


that depends on whether we have 8 or 9 players ready. hurley won't be, pears would be line-ball, reimers and myers are a bit of a mystery, stants would be close but quads can be tricky, darcy and winder unlikely.


maybe a few rookies get a run? i'd like to see klemke and carroll in particular.

[Wahooti Fandango]

I don't think Still will get a game as I think he is still a bit injured (a hammy, I think). Nothing serious, I don't think.

[dave_27]

IN: Stanton, Winderlich, Lucas, Zaharakis, Magin, Williams

[Windas_Magic]

Not too sure if Alwyn is ready?

Lucas, Stanton, Myers, Winderlich, Reimers and Zaharakis should all get a run but for whom, not too sure myself.

[Merv]

I don't agree that we will be looking at giving heaps of players experience.

We have some players that due to injuries need games, mainly Gumby and Jay, and these guys are seen as part of our future forward line.

With the 2 week break, barring injuries, you can guarantee they will both play as would most likely Lucas.

Still has no hope of playing with the above 3 and Lloyd in competition for forward positions.

I could see us giving a couple of players a rest for management reasons if we get past Brisbane though.

If we do drop players it will be either to give a player a run that is seen as being a part of our best 22 for this year or to replace a player who didn't perform, not to have a look at them.

[stay true]

Yeah you'd think Gumby and Neagle will keep their spot. I'd like to see the substitute boys Tee Slatts and Quinny get a chance to play most of the game.

McVeigh to miss maybe?

[Ludwig van Bertstare]

OUT: H. Slattery, R. Dyson
IN: D. Myers, B. Stanton

[Ben the Gooner]

I'd like to see Lloyd out for Scotty, or at least have them play half each, just to give them both some match fitness.

[Smyth94]

IN: Winderlich, Stanton, Myers, Reimers, Lucas, Zaharakis, Klemke
OUT: T. Slattery, Quinn, Lloyd, NLM, McVeigh, Watson, Dyson

[monfries_monster]

Yeah, cant really predict the ins and outs because game is in a fortnights time. Though you would probably suspect there will be some key changes, simply because of player management. Knights said the important thing is round 1 rather than looking at winning the NAB cup, wins are important though. Think up until round 1 there will be some intra-club matches during the week to get players who are not ready for a proper match some match fitness for round one. We all know that alot of players would have sat friday night out if it wasnt for the fundraiser. This will impact on next fortnights team you would suggest.

Gumby is an interesting one as he needs footy, but also needs to be managed. If gumby gets injured again soon I will most likely cry like a little girl

[yaco55]

I imagine that there should be 8 or 9 players ready for selection, or you are saying that we have more than 10 players injured before the start of the season.

I think German and Carroll may be behind in their preparation but Bock and Klemke should be available.

I assume that players like Neagle, Gumbleton, Houli and Dempsey will play most games.

[warney7]

Given there is no game for 2 weeks, it will be interesting to see how many players play Brisbane, having played the Doggies this week.

Nice draw though and we should win it...Because it's always good for the kids to play in some wins, even if it is a NAB cup match.

[white_noise]

We've had some interesting NAB cup battles with the lions in the last few years I think.

Anyone got the most reason scores?

[warney7]

Lions by 1 after a Jared Brennan point in 2007?

[dave_27]

This is the 4th time in 6 years we're playing the lions in the nab cup.

[bomba4eva]

IN: Stanton, Winderlich, Davey, Myers, Zaharakis, Lucas

There's 6 changes off the top of my head. Not sure if Lloyd and Fletcher will play two consecutive matches. Hurley won't be available and what is happening with Pears? I've just realised I have no idea how far away Pears is from playing. Saw him outside the ground with Daniher on the weekend. And Reimers for that matter? I'm just putting down any thoughts that are entering my head and just remembered seeing Reimers outside the ground. What's the go with him?

Confident about this game. Always confident of beating the Lions these days and being at home only fills me with more confidence.

Don't agree with posters that are happy to exit this competition this week. There are many benefits for staying in the NAB Cup and whilst I don't particularly care about winning the comp I do prefer playing on the better grounds and not out in the country. Be good for membership, coverage, intencity etc.

[The_Young_Gun]

OUT: Hille, McViegh, Lloyd?, Fletcher, NLM, Watson, Lonergan?, The Slattery's.
(? = Maybe)

To be honest I have no idea who will come into the lineup for ^...

[daffo]

I don't think Still will get a game as I think he is still a bit injured (a hammy, I think). Nothing serious, I don't think.

He was just on SEN and didn't say anything about an injury. He said that he was looking forward to playing another game.

[Phat Toni]

I'd rather us give players opportunities that we believe to be apart of our top 30 players. Take out Alwyn, Welsh, Laycock and Prismall due to injuries and the team just about picks it's self.

Sure we will use more than 30 players throughout 2009 but for the 16 others make them earn their spot (Bendigo play practice matches too), even if it is only a NAB cup game. It’s been easy getting selected at Essendon(for various reasons) for the last few years, time for change. Let’s build a bit of form and cohesiveness into the guys that are going to start the year for us and get away to a flyer in the real stuff.

[Sir James]

I would like to see Myers and Zaharakis in for Nash and NLM?
All i know is that im going and cannot wait:D

All players are on a program to ensure that they receive enough game time in AFL sanctioned games, to ensure thay are properly prepared for Round 1.

Under your scenario about 33% of our list will be unprepared for round 1.

[daffo]

That's the advantage of the extended bench in the NAB cup. We can get some game time into these kids. NAB cup/challenge matches need to be used to get some game time into the other players that aren't in our 22.

Lions by 1 after a Jared Brennan point in 2007?

2008 - 1st Round Match @ Carrara

Brisbane Lions: 2.8.7 (73)
Essendon: 2.11.16 (100)

[Colin D'Cops]

IN: Winderlich, Stanton, Myers, Reimers, Lucas, Zaharakis, Klemke
OUT: T. Slattery, Quinn, Lloyd, NLM, McVeigh, Watson, Dyson

He hasn't got a hope of playing unless a miracle happens overnight.

[daffo]

Can you inform us on Reimers in you know? How's he going?

[Colin D'Cops]

I can't really. He's not 100%, so is highly unlikely to play this weekend.

[Wahooti Fandango]

Lions by 1 after a Jared Brennan point in 2007?

From memory Welsh stuffed a chance to give us the win.

[Wahooti Fandango]

He hasn't got a hope of playing unless a miracle happens overnight.

He does have magical green boots.

[bipolarbeaR]

I personally wouldn't play anyone just coming back from injury, don't want them hurting themselves again, take out all the stars and let the young ones play unassisted, the only player above 25 should be Skipworth I think.
How is Pears going?

[Colin D'Cops]

He does have magical green boots.

Well that's right, so don't rule him out just yet! ;)

[Merv]

How is Pears going?

He is training but they are taking a slowly does it approach with him from what i have heard.

[kleanr]

McPhee=Skeletor

ahhh LOL - i never saw him as skeletor, ive always seen a spitting image of Kevin Bacon in him... cheers for the laff Sir James

[royboy2]

We've had some interesting NAB cup battles with the lions in the last few years I think.

In 1990 we were the 1st 2 sides to play extra time due to the scores being level.

PS Brown wont be playing this game either.

[lionshine]

[Ludwig van Bertstare]

I remember when Lucas kicked 5 on Patfull.

[stay true]

Yeah but essendon should look out because joel patful daniel bradshaw and matthew luenberger are all likley to come back and play!
Uh oh Matty Leunberger!:(

[mercs]

Yeah but essendon should look out because joel patful daniel bradshaw and matthew luenberger are all likley to come back and play!

Yeh good inclusion but I dont think Bradshaw would play full game and Matty is still a young and developer. Bombers should do it easy but no players to be risked, so I am saying no to a Reimers return especially when we have Lucas, Myers and Winderlich looking at a game.

Rest them up for round 1 and get a nearly full list ready.

By the way mate were do you see Brissy going this year, I thought the game against St Kilda was a bit of a nothing game beside your second quarter?

Luckily for Lance Uppercut's computer monitor, "Meyers" is a combination of Myers and Meyer. He only said he'd go crazy if someone on BF called Myers Meyer. I too would get annoyed if our future premiership captain/brownlow winner/gun/star/superboot/saviour was compaired to trash like Danny Meyer via name mix up.

David MYERS

In all fairness Myers has several spellings "Myers, Myer, Meyer, Meyers"

Spelling is important for example if you apply for a job at Myer and you put an "s" on the end they will not open the application.

[Special Guest]

Does anyone know whether club members get free entry on Friday night? I've got a home game membership without a reserved seat.

I can't believe how hard the AFL (or the club) make it to find this info. Or am I just looking in the wrong spots.

[mercs]

What the **** is going on with Riemers can someone please tell me

must be ok cause the only listed injures are as follows on the AFL & Essendon site

Player http://www.essendonfc.com.au/images/spacer.gif
Injury http://www.essendonfc.com.au/images/spacer.gif
Jason Laycock
Foot


Jason has resumed running and controlled skills after suffering a foot complaint. He is progressing his training load and hasn't been ruled out for Round 1 of the 2009 season.

Andrew Welsh
Ankle


Andrew suffered a dislocated ankle and a broken fibula during a routine tackle in an intra-club practice match. Will miss 3-4 months of football.

Tayte Pears
Hip


Tayte had minor hip surgery during the Christmas break. He is currently running freely and progressing his training load but is unlikely to play in the NAB Cup.

Brent Prismall
Knee


Brent had a knee reconstruction to repair his ACL late last year. He is completing running, and speed/agility controlled skills training and is expected to play senior football mid-season in 2009.

Michael Hurley
Gall bladder


Michael had surgery to remove a non-funtional gall bladder. He is progressing his training load and is expected to return to full training in March.




Brent Stanton
Quad


Brent suffered a minor quad strain at training last week. Progressing training load and could still play in the NAB Cup but the club will be cautious.

[windyhill]

Hanging out for this one, like a 5 year old waiting for Santa.
Ess under 39.5, get on.

[daffo]

Not a big injury list but all six could be in our best 22 by seasons end.

Hey fishguts notice your from Gippsland you play footy in the area

Had a year off last year due to OP, but might play for Traralgon, Morwell or Glengarry. You?

(Might not play as I plan to go to all of our Melbourne games atleast)

[warney7]

What the **** is going on with Riemers can someone please tell me

Still waiting for his new pair of custom coloured boots to arrive from the states....;)

[ghostdog]

Friday night's starting to look interesting.
Dalzeill apparently picked up 25+ possessions and some are using the word 'elite' in predictions of his ability. People on the Brisbane board think quite highly of Dalzeill, and I read one post comparing our midfield with theirs and saying that it made their current one look like ye olde premiership four.


Big things are also expected of Tom Collier off half-back.
Collier apparently ran in a straight line off half-back. Quite an achievement.

Leuenberger is also being touted over there, though Hille's skills are noted.

I'd like to see Houli go with Dalzeill. Same weight, though Houli gives up 4cm. Should match for pace, Houli has more experience at the top level. Winders is a go for Dalzeill as well, and if we're thinking of Myers moving into midfield then Friday night might be a good opportunity to muck with that. FWIW I'd like to see Myers crunch Dalzeill simply for the sake of saying get that up ya. Dalzeill finds his own ball, so he'll need someone equally keen... could be a good chance for Houli to prove his worth, particularly to the nay sayers and doubters (of which I slightly am).

I don't remember seeing Collier play, though I get the impression he can run (and in a straight line too). Maybe McPhee for Collier, especially for his defensive abilities in the forward fifty. Maybe Lloyd. Atkinson???

It'll be interesting to see who Voss sends Daniel Merret to. I'd like to see Belchambers have a bit more of a crack at the ruck and give the Brisbane defence something to think about by sending Hille forward. Definitely a formidible match up for Merrett.

Brennan is in doubt, but depending on the role he is given if he does play I would think maybe Ryder??? (although Paddy was awesome on Brown in our victory last year).

I'm getting very excited anyway! Bring on the weekend! (What day is it again!?)

I would say that they're just being slow with him.

I recall a few training reports with him being in the modified group. They obviously just don't want to rush him back in. Get him right for round one.

[Smyth94]

I'm really rapt for Licha's inclusion - the kid bleeds for the 'Dons and its so pleasing to see all his hard work come to fruition, especially since most of us had doubts (including myself) if we were ever going to see him in the red 'n black again.

Kudos to our fitness staff and Licha's perseverance.

I'd imagine he'll be rotated quite heavily, along with a few other of our senior players.

As for the game - I would be pretty disappointed if we lost.

[DonMania#5]

So the ins are Lucas, Winderlich, Zaharakis and Davey.

[bombersno1]

Nothing wrong with that but to wish they do it against us is just wrong.

I'd rather see all players at their best. Makes for a better game of footy, and that includes every team we play. I'd rather beat an opposition side at their best than beat a side who played poorly. Plus I have Rich in my fantasy teams so I need him to to well and not get injured.

[GoDons]

Seriously what is wrong with the kid? injured? suspended?

Has a quad or a hip niggle if I remember correctly.

Somehwat surprising he's still missing, but a conservative approach is better than an overly hasty one.

so you're saying you want this opposition player to play well against us in real life so your FANTASY team goes well?????

Now I've heard it all....

I'll take a win any which way it comes. Against sides at their best or worst. I couldn't care, as long as we win.
