Game Day North vs Essendon Elimination final [CONFIRMED - SATURDAY NIGHT 7:15PM @ MCG]

[OMAN]

not surprising.

 

[Harris 10]

With all the fuss over Port Adelaide having to wear it's away strip today, I can confirm that we will be wearing white shorts with our home top on Saturday Night even though we are the home team.

What are everyone's thoughts on that?

Couldn't give a stuff to be honest.

 

[Wild Bill]

We have own issues.

Hansen, Grima, Adams, MacMillan (underdone)

Couldn't give a s**t about Carlisle.

Grima should be the only one that plays. A cork is not a huge issue. Hanson is gone, Adams should miss for concussion and form and McMillian is not ready for a final.

 

[Spitta09]

Definitely won't be attending then

 

[hotham]

That'd be right. Royal blue shorts can be easily confused with black.

 

[Bigeasy]

I don't care about shorts. They could be orange for all I care.

Agree. But damn I would love to have Hansen playing on Saturday. He is so important to our defence, especially in a final

Scott is confident on the health of the list

Haha. Last week we wore blue shorts, melbourne white. Does this mean our royal blue clashes with essendon's black more so than the dees' blue? Whoever makes these decisions must be colourblind

Scotts selection will go a long way to who wins the game.

mcmillian underdone-should be out
Adams concussed/ out of form- out
Hansen injuried out

the above three are the key when picking the team
Hope Scott uses common xense

Don't like. *essendon should be in white shorts.

 

[Wild Bill]

*essendon pushed our to $2.20 now. The good money is coming for us.

 

[TheKanga]

Anyone else having flashbacks to 2012?

Mexican wave.....

Probably due to the news about Carlisle.

 

[Wild Bill]

Probably due to the news about Carlisle.

Probably due to essendon being inferior.

Carlilse is over rated. 2 good games - 1 v the under manned dogs.

[kangaspurs]

After thinking about ti for a bit, against an undersized * backline on a fine night I'd love to see a foward line of:

Black - Brown - Thomas
Turner - Petrie - Wood
With Cunners and JZ rotating through there as well. I dont think we lose too much in terms of running power, Woods an outstanding runner, or defensive pressure, Turner and LT can do a good job yet it gives us a significant advantage in the air. If Hooker goes to Petrie and Hurley to Black and Baguley to Thomas it leaves a Steinberg on Brown, someone like Hibberd on Wood and Turner doing a defensive role on Winderlich.

Yeah he is but i don't want him doing a Kerridge so glad he's out.
Wish i felt as confident as you.

Don't have a good record in orange.

However that was at Etihad.....

We will continue to firm. Our best is so much better than theirs - so if we do turn up we win. If neither turn up we win as their worst is terrible - see saints and demons - last and 2nd last.

At least Carlisle competes - their forward line is a bottom 4 forward line. The key is watching how long their back line can hold on for.

[Deep We11s 1]

Out: Hansen (inj), Adams (inj), Jacobs, Currie, Wood
In: Firrito, Greenwood, McDonald, Goldstein, Thomas

McDonald, Thompson, Firrito
Atley, Grima, Wright
Wells, Swallow, Dal Santo
Goldstein, Greenwood, Cunnington
Ziebell, Black, Turner
Brown, Petrie, Thomas
Bastinac, Gibson, Macmillan, Mullett

I'll back Macmillan and Mullett in, although one will make way if Hansen is fit, both if Adams comes up as well. Harvey is a huge loss. We'll win by 13pts after leading by 30+ late in the 3rd qtr. Best will be Brown (6 goals and the sealer), Cunnington (30 disp, 8 clearances), Greenwood (28 disp, shut downs Heppell), Ziebell (24 disp, 4 goals, Grima (25 disp, 12 marks), & Atley, (22 disp, 15 bounces).

 

[Kanga1996]

Stopping Dyson Heppell will go along way to winning on Saturday .
Wells is my pick from left field .. Thoughts ?
