Big Mal to Play Full Forward?

[Daytripper]

Sorry Andy Maher, didn't know I'd offended you. I also apologise that I feel that those WB players you mentioned aren't footballers but more so athletes. These guys you think are quality from the Bulldogs are nothing more than running players they call "the modern day footballer". What a load of crap! Their defensive skills are nothing short of shithouse, sounds to me like you get too caught up with the commentators glorifying them.

If you think we'll lose because we're without Lloyd and Lucas then you can go join all those other muppets who think Essendon are crap without their 30+ year olds!

As for the Essendon players not being robots, well that they are not, on the same token they are professionals and are paid accordingly, therefore with the modern facilities, recovery sessions, massages (without the happy ending ) I would expect the same quality of running and/or game play. It's not as if we played in the wet last Saturday night. It seems to me you're as soft on the players as the game is getting, TOUGHEN UP!

Nothing to do with Lucas and Lloyd.
Its all about the 3rd 6 day break in a row and losing another runner. That is far more important in the whole scheme of things.

If you don't think thats important these days then I'm sorry but we will agree to disagree (vehemently).

Footy is different these days. You need recovery as is emphasised by the increasing interchanges this season.

The coaches aren't doing it for the sake of it.....

I know you are being realistic, but.....

I really do hope I'm wrong but I've got a nasty feeling about it.

Still going though. Must be a masochist.
