Opinion Objectives for round 23 v Essendon?

[76woodenspooners]

Last game of the season. It's a dead rubber. We're playing one of the worst teams in the comp on recent form, and half of them will be dreaming of November.

What do you think we want to get out of this game?

Poll above. List below for those who want to quote.


Give promising debutants a taste of senior footy (Cox, Goodyear, Mantiet)
Give young players experience ( + Oxley, Kennedy)
Give players likely to retire a farewell game (Dwyer? Young?)
Final chance for players who are becoming uncontracted (Seedsman, Karnezis ...)
Give young leaders a chance to step up? (- Pendlebury, - Sidebottom)
Beat the stuffing out of Essendon, put the best team we can out on the park
Refusing to provide a 'Tanking' option
Other?

To give them their euthanasia shot for this season to replace their peptide shots

 

[Matt_352]

Smash the suitcases out of them

 

[76woodenspooners]

It was around this time last year we debuted Ramsay and Gault to give the lads a taste going into the off season.

Could we do the same thing this year? Cox or Goodyear a chance?

Show a replay of 1990 on the screens.

My one game of the year. Will be there.

 

[doodles98]

We are already well and truly playing enough youngsters. Playing to win the game must be our main objective obviously!! Don't see how playing a bunch of unready or unworthy players and losing to Essendon in the final round of the year will help our development one iota!

If you remember, we had no one left who was fit.

Smash the dirty pricks. Pick the kids if they will help this happen, but smash them please

SMASH THE PEPTIDE BUMMERS

 

[PicaBoo]

We got 3 players injured from last night. There's some room for changes.
PK for Sinclair.
Marsh goes back and Pendles goes mid / fwd.
Cox for Cloke.
BenKen in for Swan

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Last night we ended the Cats reign of finals success.....as well as a few careers. Next week is the start of a two year holiday for the drug cheats. Lets see them off in teh right manner with a smashing.

Cloke didnt play, he cant go out.

Cox wont play.

The only possible ruck change will be Witts for Grundy if Grundys shoulder is sore. White will stay

 

[Stoods]

I say smash them with the best available team, we dont want to bring in players that arent performing just to give them a run. We want them to get in the habit of earning there spot in the 22 and want the hunger for a spot to be high

 

[Anzacday]

Make sure the VFL team gave a chance of winning

I say this tongue firmly planted in cheek
There is irony in us calling them drug cheats

No there isnt

 

[SpongePie]

Objective: no injuries.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Thrash those campaigners. The thing is, our "best 22" is laden with youth and players we want to give a game to for development purposes anyway.

 

[PicaBoo]

Cloke didnt play, he cant go out.

Cox wont play.

Oops

No mucking around, pick the best 22 we can to win the game.

I'd even consider dropping Marsh or Scharenberg back to the VFL just because we might be going in a bit young.

I'd bring in Caff as a reward for getting back from the knee injury, he will add to the toughness around the ball, something Essendon aren't renowned for now that the peptides have worn off.

Smash the Bombers, then line up like good sports to farewell Fletcher.

Totally respect the caf, but not sure hes seasoned enough for seniors.

Can always play as the sub, and judging on what I saw in the VFL last week he's only one run away from being ready. We did promote him off the LTI for Gault last week, wouldn't have done that if we weren't considering playing him. Perfect Swan replacement, heck he's like a B class Swan, can play mid or forward.

 

[doodles98]

Objective: no injuries.

Definitely! We don't want anyone to miss mad Monday with an injury. Last thing we need. Be a shame if it interrupted their 6 month break too.

Take your point, didnt think of the LTI upgrade with Gault.
Ha ha agre he is a B type of swan, but there really is only one swan and caf is top clubman.
But does the beard come off? That beard has its own spot on our list.
