Changes for me:
Out: Dawson, Heron, Joyce, Ellis, Brodie (Hammy)
In: Weller, Ainsworth, Bowes, Miles, Murdoch
Riska was important early on and would keep his experience about, otherwise we would have been further behind.
Having a fine year, will be interesting to see him vs Saad, who defensively hasn't put a foot wrong as well as rebounding from defence. Betts, Cameron and Walters kicked 1 goal between them on Saad.Sexton kicked 31 goals in 18 games
5 games left.
He's a chance for 40 goals this year especially if he can kick 2-3 this coming week against Essendon.
He's always been a gun defensively. Except maybe his first year. Just not as flashy as his rebounding stuff so noone notices.Having a fine year, will be interesting to see him vs Saad, who defensively hasn't put a foot wrong as well as rebounding from defence.

I'm not so sure about that but he's definitely been great this season. He's been in AA form IMO.He's always been a gun defensively. Except maybe his first year. Just not as flashy as his rebounding stuff so noone notices.
Nah he was always a great one on one defender for us. Gave Betts a couple of baths over the years, and CyrilI'm not so sure about that but he's definitely been great this season. He's been in AA form IMO.
Certainly did on the weekend. Only 9 touches for Eddie! Hasn't kicked a goal against us in his last 3 games, but in his previously he kicked 13!Nah he was always a great one on one defender for us. Gave Betts a couple of baths over the years, and Cyril
Oh yeah sorryI'm not so sure about that but he's definitely been great this season. He's been in AA form IMO.
From inside the club Brodie wants to stay and the club look to be wanting to keep him so I doubt you’ll get anywhere with thatCertainly did on the weekend. Only 9 touches for Eddie! Hasn't kicked a goal against us in his last 3 games, but in his previously he kicked 13!
Anyway, looking forward to this one, we're in some pretty handy form right now, and hopefully it continues here. Was hoping Brodie would play because many think we're into him end of year.
Where did I say that? I know you developed his ability to play AFL, I've followed his career longer than most given I'm a Coburg supporter and always follow players drafted from there wherever they land, I just didn't think he was defensively very sound whilst he was at Gold Coast, but that may have been more of a midfield issue.Oh yeah sorry
The Suns don't develop players right?
Except we took him as a VFL player and taught him how to play at AFL standard
So why don't you call it a night and do some research before you post drivel on our board?
Fair enough, hope he stays. We probably don't have the capital to tempt him anyway, money or picks wise.From inside the club Brodie wants to stay and the club look to be wanting to keep him so I doubt you’ll get anywhere with that
He was always fantastic defensively we just had s**t house pressure out of the midfield. And yeah i highly doubt there is anything the bombers could offer us to get him down thereWhere did I say that?

Sorry if it came off that way. Also I live on the other side of the city so...#16
Did you seriously come onto our Clubs page to gloat about Essendon then crack a stiffie over Brodie because you want to pinch him off the wooden spooners.
Have you been outside Moonee Ponds before?

Can only hope the Essendon players are drinking their own bath water like some of their supporters are this week. Some very handy ins this week as well, not without a chance.
Forgive the negative responses you are seeing to your fair posts, I dare say some of it is due to experiences such as mine where dons fans I know are already gloating about how this game will lock them into the finals, so humble.You will be in this game up to your eyeballs.
Fortunately (for you) we are often our own worst enemy in games we are expected by the football public to win. We've won 2 of our last 6 when playing the team on the bottom of the ladder. Not to mention a few important injuries for us.
I think the Carlton game was a step in the right direction for the Suns. Most Essendon people with some idea about the game will be nervous before this one.
What's wrong with Heppell?There are two types of Essendon supporters following what was an exceptional win for us against Adelaide. Those who are projecting that sort of performance as normal, and those who can see that it was not something we can expect to repeat often. We have a core of players out (Daniher, Bellchambers, Smith, Fantasia, Hurley) and our backups are doing remarkably well. But if we add to that with McKenna, and possibly Hooker and Heppell, we will be fielding a team without real match winners, and a lot of fillins/fringe players. Even if Hooker and Heppell play, they will not be capable of their usual standard of performance. It is not a complacency/arrogance thing. We genuinely are pretty weakened and vulnerable ATM.
If GC can fire up, they are a real chance.
If you contain Merrett and Shiel, we don't have much in the way of weapons. Ruck and clearances could be a real chance for GC to control the game.
