Preview Rd17 2019: Changes/pre-match discussion vs the *Scum

[Rod Stroker]

When was JMac’s last game? He’s already played under Rhys no?

Yes, did his calf in the Richmond game

 

[Rod Stroker]

So on the eve of their biggest game for the year, the most sought after opposition strategy coach tells the Bombers to GAGF after just 18 months there.

Two Bombers assistant coaches set to depart at season's end

Essendon will have a new-look coaching team next year, with two assistant coaches to depart at season's end

Also rates highly for both intercept possessions and spoils, and has a contested 1v1 loss% of only 15 this year.

But apparently everyone else who was out of form before Brad's departure was a victim of the gameplan except for him.

Mate, you're preaching to the choir. I mean, yeah, I do get frustrated at his obvious deficiencies, but for the most part I rate what JMac brings.

I, too, am looking forward to seeing how he goes under Shaw. My one reservation, however, is that what the team under him so far prides itself on, that absolutely relentless attack on the contest and the man, isn't exactly in JMac's wheelhouse. But with a better structure around him and simpler instructions when he has the ball should hold suit him well.

The Jmac debate might benefit from reference to actual facts; this is why he plays

He's on that list for leading rebound 50s because when he kicks it outside 50, it goes to an opposition player and comes straight back in again!

I think any player is entitled to a chance under a new coach before being written off.

Very good call TD.

Except: S.McCann, M.Arceri, R. Scott, S.Clayton, S.Watt, S.Gibson, J.Macmillan, M. Wood and a warm BigFooty welcome to the newest member, S. Durdin.

In my time in this country, they have been the whipping boys who have had many doubters. Thankfully for them, they don't get their cars burnt out or physically threatened like they would back home for underperforming/not living up to expectations.

 

[the flying ham]

Nah sorry doesn’t matter how poor Macmillan went apparently we should just be happy to give him a chance under Shaw

Yeah, that would be a start hard man.

Can't wait until that hits 10,000

 

[Gasometer]

Haaa.

Hope it’s us that denies the days until 10k rocks up

 

[North11]

Hey guys, what corruption scandal do we think will hit the Bombers next?

They've done salary cap a fair bit, done doping.

Is the Charity Regulator making sure this "kids with cancer" stuff is actually going somewhere other than a Tullamarine slush fund?

Is it me or is it everytime we play * they always have a charity game/ fundraiser they do a couple days before the game? Just seems like they try to make out they are a wonderful club.

 

[Event Horizon]

Now that we are a day away from the game, it feels like a day before the final. Weird.
Hope we can do it, it will make up for a lot of crap we've had to endure this season.

Yes, did his calf in the Richmond game

And we killed it once he was off the ground too... was a tight game before his injury

 

[Hojuman]

My * supporting brother in law invited me to sit with him and our nephew tomorrow in a good seat if l could not be too parochial amongst the * faithful.

I respectfully declined.

How many times has he sold out a team mate under pressure or turned it over? How good is this bloke with an average of 5 turnovers a game... this is an actual fact bud

 

[Rod Stroker]

I think it's a long bow to draw to make that connection.

I would have declined disrespectfully!

I would have replied "I'd prefer to be gelded".

Your only sensible almost rational post.

Let's see how he goes under Shaw, if he fails and we lose, we know who to blame.

I have 4 medallion seats, never once given one to an * supporter, could offer me any sum of money for em and i’d rather wipe my arse with em

 

[NarniMagic]

Fyi I guarantee everyone calling Jmac a "squib" would shirk the first contest on an AFL field if they were asked to put themselves in harms way. Hypocrite I believe the term is...

THAT'S the best post you have made this week.

 

[Firestarter]

If only people were this passionate about the young lad playing his 2nd game. Well, passionately positive...
