Preview Round 8: Essendon v Brisbane Lions Saturday 2nd May, 12:35pm

I agree. I was actually contacted by a member of James H’s family and thanked for my support. They outlined some things about Voss as a coach that, to borrow your analogy, painted Voss as the ‘ANTI-FAGAN’ and really put me off him. He was delisted in 2012, but according to his relative that was after he indicated he wanted out of the club.

This confused me a bit until I realised it was not James Hird but Janes Hawksley! <chagrin>

Surprising choice, but in Fagan we trust.

Refusing to move gallop back to the position where he kicked 3 goals in a prelim so we then have to play a debutant #utterwokenonsense

Masterful choice Mr Fagan. I’ve been saying this for years.

I hope you give Mr Fagan a standing ovation when curtain turns in a 6 disposal 5 hit pit game!

I'm looking forward to see another youngster get his first game. Good luck Cody!

Play da youth

Henry Smith had a similar disposal and hit out count against Collingwood last year

Yep and his Mickey Mouse performance was immediately exploited by Sydney.

Excited by this. Fagan’s strike rate on bringing key position kids into the senior team is impeccable. Morris and Gallop have worked out, so let’s give Curtin a chance. He looks a promising type.

We’ve hit jackpot on the pokies twice in a row, we’ll never lose if we keep doing it!

I did say during the preseason that Cody Curtin is the one. I want that on record.

Nope, you're not taking that one from me !!! I called it earlier!!!

 

[Dalions]

I think I would keep it simple and just play Drapes and Fort rotating a bit more in the forward line and just bring Zorks back in for either Jimmy or McKenna.
Linc back forward and Gallop stays in defence.
The defence has been the most affected this year via injury and suspension so I think Fages would like some continuity in there.

 

[Dalions]

Whoops just saw this post so ignore my post above.

 

[Nathan Barley]

If Curtin does a Morris how will coke after our ability to draft guns next?

Don’t make me find my receipts.

Cody debuts

Until a video turns up showing the players actually swamping Cody when the announcement happens, it’s all conspiracy, lies, and untruths.

It's Curtins (and Drapes) for Fages!

We’ve hit jackpot on the pokies twice in a row, we’ll never lose if we keep doing it!

In this analogy, we have been purchasing/drafting the pokies so we're basically guaranteed to be the winner, right?

 

[braddsey]

I imagine if we weren’t playing Essendon this week we wouldn’t be playing Curtin. However, given our problems keeping our big men on the park it makes sense to get a look at as much of our talk talent as we can. In that regard, Joyce doesn’t get a run. We’ve also seen ZZ, so he misses out this week.

Ah, and in a Back‑to‑the‑Future moment, I’d like to be the first to welcome Dan to the Den in 2027 and congratulate Dom Ambrogio on a masterstroke during the 2027 trade period.
