    Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

    So Hogan free to play. Maybe Redman should have appealed?

    Preview Round 7: Essendon vs Collingwood, MCG, Anzac Day, 25/04/24 @ 3:20 PM

    Yeah, not for Anzac day. Can't see them bringing in Shiel either. Might just be Wright in Hind sub for Tsatas.

    AFL Player # 3: Darcy Parish

    He didn't have the best game I agree but wasn't disgraced by any means. I have watched the last quarter a couple of times and he had some super important touches. Just because he got a good contract deal doesn't mean he has to be BOG every week. Seems he gets bashed just because he signed a...

    Did you actually watch the game? He is actually working harder and less selfish than he has ever been. Was super important in the last.

    AFL Player #10: Sam Weideman

    Laverde gets out of position too much. Was poor again against the Crows. That clanger summed up how he is going. Had absolutely no clue against JUH. He is lucky we have so many injuries. Hayes just a little light framed for the Pies IMO. Weid or Lav unfortunatey for mine until Reid/Ridley back...

    The question is, who goes out for Wright?

    Preview Round 7: Essendon vs Collingwood, MCG, Anzac Day, 25/04/24 @ 3:20 PM

    He is a lock you would think. Looks like 2 Rucks plus Wright. Maybe no changes. I would still have Hayes for Lav. Re the weather: Only 50% chance of any rain and if there is it is predicted to be <1mm. So basically dry game. Edit: it is Melbourne so weather could change!

    I just hope we don't go to tall. Looks like the forecast has improved so shouldn't be slippery but Pies have lots of medium types so might backfire if we go too tall.

    Hopefully stop DeGoey operation in full swing, just like we did with Bont. He is their barometer/MVP IMO. If he has a good game Pies win.

    AFL Player # 3: Darcy Parish

    23 disposals (11 kicks, 12 handballs) 4 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal 2 behinds is hardly a putrid game IMO.

    Preview Round 7: Essendon vs Collingwood, MCG, Anzac Day, 25/04/24 @ 3:20 PM

    Bobby Hill looms as a massive danger. Maybe start McGrath then switch to Kelly later. Hind could be an option if he stays in the side. Watching yeasterday, Port really dropped their bundle after quarter time. Amazingly, Butters was off the ground for ages and they never went with JHF, Rozee &...

    Could be a cool showery day so I hope we don't go in too top heavy. Draper for Wright makes sense.

    AFL Player #33: Alwyn Davey Jr - Lindsay Griffith Rising Star

    Yeah, that tackle late in the game showed great closing speed. This is exactly what you need to be a good forward pressure side. Also creates referred pressure on defenders causing mistakes.

    AFL Player #32: Ben "Buckets" McKay - Worth every penny

    Absolutely. It is one area we have been lacking forever. Even Fletch struggled against the big gorillas. Zerk was good but not in the same weight division. McKay's highlight package against Hawkins was all I needed to want us to throw everything at him. To me this is as big a signing as what...

    VFL Essendon v Southport

    Watching today I would only have Hayes in the mix IMO. I don't watch much VFL but the standard looked very poor. Looked to be played in slow motion with nobody really giving a stuff. A far cry from the old VFA days.

    AFL Toast RND 6: Win Against The Crows

    regardless of where the Crows are at coming back from being down in the third is not an easy task, esp as we wasted so many opportunities earlier in the game. Would have been easy to drop our heads. Every bit a Collingwood type win. Pies won heaps of games off dubious non calls but silence...

    AFL Toast RND 6: Win Against The Crows

    Yeah, there are a few saying they were robbed but many acknowledging we were the superior team by a long way. If our forward line was geelong's that is a 100+ win.

    Good that Goldy will play an Anzac day. McKay too. Don't think there will be many changes if any. Hind might be in trouble but could easily be sub again. Just didn't take his chances enough. Draper should be dropped but can't see the club having the balls. If Hayes has a good game then he must...

    Even late in the third we toughed out a couple of goals when Crows were front running with crowd behind them. That hasn't happened for a very long time.

    Had a poor game but loved his fight in the last. Some crucial touches when he could have dropped his head.
