Preview Changes/Preview – Round 18 vs. Essendon - IN: Petty the RUCK

[PerfectFooty]

Does anyone give the Demons a chance of winning?

I tipped purely as a risky tip to maybe catch me up in my comp or set me further behind

Melbourne Essendon games can be funny sometimes though, a lot of times the outright favourite has lost

Not a bad risk. My prediction it will be a bit like our 2017/18 games a bit of a shit fight in the first half but essendon will break the game in the 3rd quarter and run out pretty comfortably in the end.

This is one of those games we could come out and win from nowhere.

Like others have said, Dons Dees games are often very weird with the favourite regularly not showing up

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

If Goody rates Fullarton so little, it's staggering we recruited him.

And let’s not forget Schache was gifted multiple games last year and then re-signed for this year.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

People should be melting hard over Tom Sparrow being given a game every week.

We did and got told off about it by somebody

I wouldn't be surprised either if we came out and pinched it, but the bombers have too much to lose.

You'll be happy to know both mods support Sparrow-bashing. Go for it

 

[melbun]

On current form there is a couple of others to bash before Sparrow.

I think I know which overLORD he was referring to.

I keep saying similar things for other teams this year but most teams keep shitting the bed when they have a chance to differentiate themselves from the pack. Odd year.

 

[SugarHealey]

I haven’t seen much of Fullerton but I’ve seen enough to know he’s a better ruckman than Petty.

Got no issues if they’d gone Verrall but they obviously have him even further down the pecking order.

 

[SugarHealey]

We need someone to do something about Petty like make his GPS glitch or something.

I'd rather Fullerton, Verrall, Kyah Farris-White or Tomlinson.

Looks like we'll have to shark Drapers Rucks

I'd rather Draper than all of them... you listening Mfc.?

The current sentiments here and on social media towards selection.

Goodwin is a ****ing idiot of biblical proportions.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Apparently, Im not in any Dees related Facebook groups so have no idea, Dancing Potato to post links or screenshots to social media melts please

Please enjoy this curated selection. The spicier ones have been deleted.

Also, please enjoy my excellent redaction skills. You're welcome.

I can't believe they are that upset about missing out on what would likely be 8 useless Fullarton possessions. #RageOnBros.

This. Although I concur with the raging about the 8 useless Petty possessions incoming.

Its the same outcome no matter who we play in Gawn's place. I thought Verrall would have made the most sense coz at least he is a pure ruck and might win some hitouts (not exactly a game changer if he wins 5-10 more hitouts than Petty) to go along with his 8 useless possessions but its not a big enough difference to burn the club down over. Plenty of better reasons to do that.

Na, you’ve taken all the fun out of it now

Yeah I agree we’ve got no rucks that can cover Gawn’s output. Yet, I still think our selection integrity is ****ed when a bloke who’s rated the worst player in the comp is straight in.

Agree, best to never play him so we don’t ever have to witness the shame of a Melbourne tall playing a useless 8 possession game

 

[Dancing Potato]

I still might card you.

Go on, take a chance.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I've liked Petty's ruck work this season.

Gee, make up your mind. At least Tom Sparrow is consistent.*

[CTHORANGE]

last year Essendon blitzed us in the first half by filling their forward line with talls and marking everything, perhaps if Petty does play ruck, then Petty might end up playing most of the game in defence if draper and co continually push forward to try and replicate last years deeds. Could this be tactical ingenuity from Goody? (pigs might fly but just trying to figure out what the idea is here)
