If Lonergan wasn't a forced out then the selection committe made a HUGE mistake.
In: Lonergan (If inj Reimers), Hocking, Lloyd
Out: Jetta, Davey (inj), T-Bell
NLM was effective in the ruck against Brisbane and Hooker played well today. We don't need two big men against Hawthorn imo.
First person to go Out: Stanton, Slattery, NLM, Mcphee etc gets a red card (Do it Whomb, you know you want to). If you can't post sensibly don't post at all.

Persist with Jetta another week. I'd probably look at Prismall and Quinn getting omitted. Prismall's fumbling and disposal is letting him down atm.
IN: Lonergan Hocking

In : Lonergan, Hocking, Lloyd (if fit)
Out : Quinn, Jetta, Welsh
Anyone noticed the pattern when both Lonergan & Hocking are out. Once against Richmond and again tonight. Jobe needs these guys to give him a chop out.
Quinn was shown up tonight and its time for the experiment to end. Great effort by the lad but we need to win next week.
Its a toss up between Jetta and Davey. Alwyn seems to have lost some pace since his knee reconstruction. He just doesn't seem to be the same player any more. Very tempted to keep Leroy in as I'm convinced he is an MCG player.
Welsh is the same as Alwyn. Lack of pre season seems to be taking its toll and when he is the number 2 hard at it midfield player, we really struggle as his disposal isn't up to scratch. Love his endeavour and works his guts out though.
Loss wasn't unexpected tonight. We were severely undermanned and Fremantle are a good side at home, capable of beating anyone on their day. They have a good group coming through and Harvey is on the right track.

I think Alwyn will be out injured. His shoulder didn't look good.
Lonergan did miss becasue of injury. He should be ok to lay this week.
Have to say i agree with Daytripper. I mentioned after the Richmond game that we looked average without Lonergan and Hocking. They are not in the best 22 ability wise but they give us some toughness around the contest when Jobe is being well held.
On the form from Bendigo today you probaly would pick no one. Skippy was ok and Hocking did not have much of an impact in the first half. He was ok in the third but i did not see the last quarter.
In: Lonergan , Hocking , LLoyd.
Out: whoever, i did not bother to watch the game after half time.
We need Lloyd to come back for sure this week, would like to see Reimers in also but would like to see some heart in and weak of piss out
Reimers has done his left hammy. Went off before half time for Bendigo today. I think his season is over :thumbsd:

How did Still go, ant ?
Thought he might be the logical replacement for Dempsey but apparantly not.
By the way, this agreeing with each other has to stop.
PS : I turned it off at 1/2 time too. Flicked it back on with 15 minutes to go and then turned it off again. :(
Amazing how bad we can look sometimes and how good we can look on other occasions.

Depending on whether Davey and Atkinson can play next week, Quinn would be very lucky to hold his spot. He tries hard but everything he did today was horrible. In fact, he was around 50% with his disposal effictiveness and had 5 clangers.
Bellchambers is another who must go. 6 disposals and 5 clangers he had, get NLM to ruck with Hooker.

23 Aug 2009, 20:34
Won't look too much at the outs yet, but in, well i think Lloyd needs to come in if fit, as well as Reimers and Lonergan. All 3 definate ins if fit. Hooker was better than Bellchambers in the ruck today which is a serious worry.

Lloyd is our captain, he will come back in if fit.
He's missed a month of football. It'd be very risky to have him and Neagle in the forward line after a trip back from Perth.
The more I think about it the more I can see us coming to a standstill against the Hawks.
The only thing that's going to save us is Buddy getting suspended and Roughead missing. Could be a ugly game.

He has no idea on the field - his attempt to shpeherd for Dyson was laughable - he does not understand the game well enough.
His nickname should be UV (what a pale kid he is).;)
Hocking and Lonergan must come in against Hawthorn.

-lloyd will come back in if fit....absurd to suggest he shouldnt

people need to show some rationality, and try to deliver a considered and reasonable response instead of just shooting their mouth off in anger.

that is one slow looking side paz, we just lose the one advantage we have over hawthorn.
Jetta will stay due to daveys injury.
A bit better and a bit more,as HAWKS are fighting for the same spot as us.

Reckon Hawthorn are arguably as quick as we are (Rioli, Osborne, Bateman are far from slow).
With windy conditions forecast, we probably need our best skilled players out there to control the ball-use.

In answer to your question. We beat the tigers on Saturday night in a rather low standard affair. This is the same tigers that fell over the line against a demons side that was being coached to lose.
I don't actually think our coaches box was trying to hard to win either.
The only team I would tip us to beat this week would be Melbourne.
I think you'll be ok.

I think that'll work both ways. I still have the voicemails from your win earlier in the year, if we get up all will be returned. Lets just hope whoever wins goes through and knocks out Carlton:thumbsu:
In Lloyd, Lonergan, Hocking or Skipworth
Out Davey ( inj ), Atkinson ( inj ), Bellchambers, Jetta
We need to take a chance and play Hooker and NLM as Rucks.
Hawks play Bailey and Renouf who are hardly household names in the ruck.
Bring lloyd in if fit - he wont be playing against an elite defender this week.
Play McPhee as the third tall forward to provide contrast with Lloyd and Neagle.
Pears on Franklin, Hurley on Dowler and Fletcher to provide cover.
It is a pity that Reimers and Houli are injured because the side is a bit slow but its not such an issue against the Hawks.
Lets be honest whoever out of us makes the 8 won't make it past week 1 of the finals.Yep.
If we make it into the finals we'll have a rested Patty Ryder coming back into the side. That will make a HUGE difference.
I really hope we knock off the Hawks.

You know I wasnt feeling good about this game in the heat of the moment yesterday but thinking about it this morning I think we'll win.
Hawthorn without Roughead, possibly Franklin, inexperienced rucks and an awful backline gives me confidence.
I agree. Franklin deserves one week for that hit!
Out : Davey, Atkinson
In : Lloyd, Hocking
We are starting to see a longer injury list again.
More importantly (hopefully) Franklin will be out for the Hawks.

What do we do with Spike and Welshy this week, yesterdays game was begging for them to make an inpact, especially with Jobe being held so well.Neither of them could step up and play any sort of real part.:mad:
Do we drop them both?? Do we drop one of them? If so which one?
Do we play both and give them specific roles?
My opinion is that we should play Welsh on Mitchell and play Mcveigh on Hodge!!! For the whole game "listen boys you gusy play on these two, we dont care if you dont get a kick as long as they dont have an impact on the game".
Then we need some one to cover Batemen possibly Dyson???
Hooker to Buddy with help from Fletch.
Is there a match up for Pears could he go forward??
Although maybe with his hand he's better staying back.
We can win just have to stop there guns.
Also Slats to Rioli.

24 Aug 2009, 12:22
jetta and davey out could hurt if we're relying on neagle and lloyd in his first game back for any sort of forward pressure. that said, jetta hasn't impressed and davey probably won't pull up. probably lonergan and lloyd come in though.
bomberfan101
24 Aug 2009, 13:04
Lloyd will be back - and i have a feeling he is going to have a blinder of a game and score 5+ goals.
He is such a good leader, and we miss leadership when we travel as evidenced by the 2 losses in perth. He will lead the young dons to the finals!
I also think Ryder will be back which is a MASSIVE in for us..
Franklin has 94 points hanging over his head, so if the MRP think there is anything in that bump then he gooonnee..which will make it a lot easier for Pears and co.

must be a stupid thread lol
Buddy has pretty much carried the side in the second half of the year. He's in good form playing midfield/half-forward with very little support.
A couple of young inexperienced (and decimated) sides battling for spot in the 8. Whoever wins won't last long in finals but it would be great to get that experience into the kids.
Horace Scope
24 Aug 2009, 14:02
From the footage I've seen Buddy will play and has nothing to answer for.
As for us, we've had week after week to cement a spot and ****ed it up nearly every time.
Lets face it.... we got pants'd by FREO !!!!!
And we want to play FINALS?......phhhhht!!!!
We're doin a Bradbury. Hoping to fall over last.

Well he does; apart from anything else if he has to front the tribunal, then he does have reason for concern. They may see things differently than you.
I watched the game on TV, and they showed the replay over and over many times. One replay in particular showed Benny being hit by the Express to Franklin going full speed. Benny was weaving when he ran into Franklin and went down rather abruptly.
One other from a low front on angle showed Buddy lifting his elbow just after contact.
The way they could rule: intentional, head contact, and more than moderate in intensity.
Of course, others might see it exactly opposite.
We'll know soon enough - tonight in fact.

Lloyd, Ryder a chance to return for Hawk's clash.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/83335/default.aspx
"ESSENDON could regain three key players ahead of this weekend's must-win clash with Hawthorn, with skipper Matthew Lloyd a chance to play his first match since round 17."
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/83335/default.aspx
(Hope I did that right, apologies Whomb if not)
*Like many, I'm hoping Ryder can get up. I also hope that one of Hocking or Lonergan can come in, given that we seemed to lack some grit yesterday despite having the likes of McVeigh and Welsh in the middle. With Watson compromised, the ball escaped too easily. Hocking played quite well on Mitchell last time and could release one of Welsh or McVeigh. Lonergan offers hardness and very often plays a part in keeping the ball in our forwardline- an element that will be missed in Davey's absence.
*I believe this game will be won or lost in the midfield;
- If we win there it will go a long way to getting the ball into the hands of Neagle, Hurley, Monfries, given some half decent delivery of course, but more importantly will prevent the Hawks getting first use and delivering it down the throat of Franklin.
-Obiously, if our midfielders don't get back and help out, we will lose, as exemplified by the discrepancies b/w the Carlton/StKilda games and the Subi games.
*Atkinson was cramping on Sunday, hopefully he gets up given the absence of Dempsey. Lovett, Atkinson, NLM, Dyson- run, run, run.
*Sorry, don't have a concrete in/out list. Just giving my opinion.
(Hope I did that right, apologies Whomb if not):thumbsu:
Am not entirely sure why people have both Jetta And Davey as outs,
I know that Davey may not come up for his shoulder, and Jetta was not great, but you need to keep at least one of them in if Riemers does not come up, as you need someone to put pressure coming out of the back half, and with the likes of Guerra, Birchall, Hodge using the pill out of the D50, then we will need to pressure them as much as possible.
And Hooker should be an in, even if Fletcher comes us, the Hawks do have a tall set up, with Franklin, Dowler and Mark Williams contributing up front, so with Hooker, it gives us some versatility in the back half.
And as reports on here suggest, no one at Bendigo was even remotely close to getting a call up from there games on the weekend, apart from maybe Skipworth.
So...
INS: Lloyd, Riemers (If fit for Jetta) Ryder (If fit for Bellchambers)
OUTS: Davey (Inj), Jetta ( If fit for Riemers) Bellchambers (If fit for Ryder)
People calling for people to be axed because of one game should take one long hard look at themselves, even Gary Ablett, Dane Swan, Nick Dal Santo do not play well every single week, they are just alot more consitant that our young brigaide. give these guys a break.
Put it this way... the team that wins on Saturday will be the lesser of the two shit sides based on form. I gotta feeling this will be a real scrap, and that will suit Hawthorn.
If Buddy is out, we've got a foot in the door of september already, but even then they struggle to run out 4 quarters (having seen them against Geel and Port when they were literally walking to contests!!!).
They've got as much to play for as we do.
Will be going to the game regardless of the fact I might be devo'd walking out. You should all adopt the same attitude and Hawks supporters will no doubt be thinking the same way.
Lloyd is out of sorts, but he's still a KP forward and, even though it's possible, I highly doubt the Hawks will put a 3rd choice defender on him and win the battle. They will mark him with the best they've got and that's a win for us before the whistle is blown.
Takes pressure of neagle. And with no roughead (possibly no buddy) we should see Hurley go forward to provide another option.
in: lloyd, lonergan, skipworth
out: davey (inj.), jetta (dud), quinn (omit)
i'm doubting either of ryder or dempsey will get up in time. shattered about reimo's injury...
lloyd has to play - even if he's not 100%, play with some pain and put his body on the line for the club like a true captain should.
in: lloyd, lonergan, skipworth
out: davey (inj.), jetta (dud), quinn (omit)
lloyd has to play - even if he's not 100%, play with some pain and put his body on the line for the club like a true captain should.You've dropped our three first-choice crumbing options and replaced them with two mid-sized players who can play forward.
On top of that, you've brought in an unfit Lloyd to play alongside Neagle; where's the pace, tackling pressure and crumbing ability?
Either one of or both of Jetta and Quinn needs to be retained if Davey's coming out.
Id rather see pears on buddy than hooker. And rioli will run rings around slattery

Give it another link or two, just to be on the safe side.
Was just following Whomb's stickied instructions :thumbsu:.
Let's hope Hawthorn doesn't appeal Buddy's 1-match suspension, although they've really got nothing to lose if they do..

I just hope we match up well and our fowardline functions, Buddy 1 week helps if he loses appeal maybe we can try pears up forward or something.
I so hope they fight it and he gets two.
Win win situation. If they happen to jag a win over Essendon without him, we don't have to find the matchup.
On the other hand, if he's out and Essendon win its a dream final for both Essendon and Carlton. You'd fancy your chances, and we get a chance to get rid of bitch status on the big stage. Delicious.....

Our form is pretty awful at the moment.
Lets be honest whoever out of us makes the 8 won't make it past week 1 of the finals.

i watched the freo game, no way you deserve to be playing finals after a performance that bad.
then again neither do Hawthorn. But i would rather you than the hawks...
Those including Reimers: Injured at Bendigo game yesterday..spent the 2nd half on the bench with leg strapped. Won't play.

Can't believe it (although I am not surprised with the MRP). No way the charge will stick on appeal.
He will be playing on Saturday for sure.

225 points, w/ a 25% reduction on early guilty plea, reducing it to 166 point something. Appeal won't work hopefully haha

Right or wrong, I'm obviously happy that the oppositions best player won't play.
It was definetely a fifty-fity call though. I suppose if you say intent when it comes to the head doesn't matter then he should go.
