Review Round 22 vs Essendon @ Alphabet Stadium (Sunday 15.08.2021 - 3:20pm)

Footy Classified just reported that it will be at Marvel. Absurd decision by the AFL. No integrity whatsoever. Our HOME GROUND at the AWAY TEAMS HOME GROUND!

Happy to take 2 home games against Essendon next year

If thats true, then the suns must have chosen it. Could have chosen ballarat. Can't use the G on sunday. So marvel. geelong or ballarat is the only options I could think so

Marvel not the worst place to play, hopefully a shootout this week

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

we did win there less than a week ago I suppose

Chill dude, we would of chosen to play there. 3rd week in a row at the same ground has some benefits, no home crowd for Essendon still either so it's not a problem

Pardon the intrusion. Will we see Markov back in this week? Gee I'm loving your medium defenders in Powell, Ballard and the rotation of HBFs like Markov.

Got a lot of good bones at the Suns (esp with Touk, Rowell/Anderson, King, Ainsworth).

I recognized the area. You can briefly see AAMI Park overhead, and that close to the main road? I didn't think it was GC lol And I did check the weather to compare.

Injury report has him as a test for this week im pretty sure, so there is a good chance. Have missed his dash off HBF a lot.

 

[Supersuns]

Ugh not alphabet stadium. Horrible ground for us

Will certainly help with Ellis out.

Least we have experience playing there, how often have Essendon played there recently?

We played there maybe 5 weeks ago? But other than that the last time was in 93

We also played a pre-season game there (is that eth-dog?)

Seems really silly especially considering that VIC is in lockdown anyway and are restricted on what they can do.

Ugh not inbred stadium

Stinks of the VFL wanting the shooters to make finals

 

[Mini GF]

They will probably appoint Mr Baldy as an umpire now too

GOLD COAST
In: R.Atkins, W.Brodie, S.Flanders, A.Davies
Out: B.Ellis (injured)

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Essendon get Dyson Heppel and Andy McGrath back

Managing Tippa though

 

[Dave]

We’ll come into this game with the leagues
9th best defence
17th or 18th best attack

Essendon defence is bottom 5 or 6.
Can we please kick a few goals!

needing king to get to 50 goals this year - due to slot 3 or 4.

We're also 4th for attack

 

[Ben Drever]

We're also 4th for attack

FYI

also have never won when Tippa doesn’t play.

C'mon Ben, you know how it works.........law of averages, 1st time for everything, commentator's curse.....you've just hammered the nail into the coffin
