Gameday: Round 5 - Essendon vs St Kilda

[Merv]

 

[Spikey]

I can't wait for Mal to go up against Frasier

 

[Margim]

Except I think Fraser is dropped??

 

[Spikey]

Exactly. Read the preview.

 

[Merv]

I can't wait for Mal to go up against Frasier

 

[Red Black and Blue]

3 biggest match-ups

Ryder on Riewolt
Slattery on Harvey
Reimers on Dal Santo

If we can win 2/3 of those match-ups it will go a long way to winning the game.

where do we put mal in this game?
fletch should get kosi
ryder for reiwoldt

i dont see another valid option for mal, the saints dont really play a resting forward down there, and kosi + reiwoldt are too agile and both probably too tall for mal..

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Mal will play on Kosi with Fletch as loose man dropping back to be third man up

 

[GoDons]

Koschitzke vs. Michael shapes as a good one.

Pace isn't on of Koschitzke's trump cards, so going with him on the lead shouldn't be too much of an issue.

However, Koschitzke's got the centimetres and a pretty decent pair of hands.

Looking forward to it.

Slattery on Harvey

Shoot me now

 

[bruce29]

what will the crowd figure look like tonight?

50000 +??

I cant wait....should be a solid night at the Dome

 

[Spikey]

Shoot me now

If we do, will you stop bagging Henry out whenever you have the chance?

 

[rainman06]

We will win tonight
I havent been this confident of winning a game for a fair while. St Kildas efforts in the last 2 weeks have been weak. We match up on them particularly well, and our running style will worry them. They play posession football which requires precise skills and im not sure if they have the cattle for that. We must hurt them on the turnover which with our pace should be simple enough to do and if we do this well enough we will win without a doubt i feel.

 

[NoobHunter15]

The way Dustin Fletcher plays as third man up will determine who wins this game.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Winderlich and Montagna will be a fast, great match up. To me it is critical Winda gets on top in this one. Montagna has been pretty good for them.

 

[SAINTERS06]

any late changes?

 

[monty1104]

Nice to see Houli and Pears being on top of our possession list at qtr time. Just on a side note, Dyson being played in a tagging role on Montagna. kept him to 2 possessions (both handballs) at qtr time while grabbing 2 possies himself

[Colin D'Cops]

Now the Dons are @ $10.00 if anyone is game.

Haha, we've got absolutely no chance now...

 

[hugorune]

4 in a row to Bombers are we still in this?

I think this game will still end up being a cold shower for us, but at least we're having a good quarter.
