Big test next week.

marcuz · Apr 25, 2008

We'll see how many fans have jumped off after todays rubbish. Sunday afternoon twighlight game against Port. Could be a record low crowd for a Dons game at the dome.

I'll be there again, i just love unaccountable footy coupled with a shit skill level.

Can't wait.

Seeing Fletch is out we'll get murdered.

It will have more to do with a team full of downhill skiers rather than any injuries to our tall players.

The Dustbin · Apr 25, 2008

I'll be there, regardless.

Gumby in for Fletch?

Myers in for Jobe?

Dempsey in for Pears?

Anyone in for Johns?

There's going to be a lot of changes made for next week!

YG -- Can't see the reason why people are calling for Pears to go back to VFL..? I would much rather see games into him.. he more than earnt his spot last week, and even the week before. If we are ever going to get back, it is these guys who will get us there.. not the 22-27 year olds because we have few of those of true quality. Can't agree on Jobe going out either.. but certainly need for changes.

1. Gumby hasn't even played for Bendigo yet and isn't expected to play AFL until after the break
2. Jobe should stay in
3. Pears was quiet but i really enjoyed watching him put in second and third efforts and some good tackles
4. Yes, anyone for Johns

Fletch has been covering for these guys for a long long time.

I still can't believe the inside 50's were 67-40 today... embarrassing.

We played the Power in '06 coming off 8 or 9 straight losses and got 29k.

Think we're heading for a similar figure.

Who's going to compensate for the lack of defensive ability in Nash, Rama.

Lade or Brogan will push forward and kick a bag.

You have no idea

You called for johns to be included all week.

He was.

You posted an "I told you so" post

He played like he always does.

Now you want him out.

If you had of listened to people that actually have a clue you were told he is no good.

Gumby in and Jobe out? Not even worth commenting on

retroparty · Apr 25, 2008

Me and my 3 mates will be there. We are always at the footy. Rain, hail or shine.

Hopefully the crowd is over 30k but I gotta feeling it won't be.

Smyth94 · Apr 25, 2008

It'll roughly be 35k

glad somebody else shared my thoughts

I think we need a serious change to the midfield, i would bring in JJ and Myers pending bendigo form.

Knights' emergencies for this game were just.. well stupid, 3 talls as the emergencies was just asking for a mid-fielder to go down, Jobe, stanton and maybe nash were the only players who can hold their heads up, and even then, can't hold them too high.

Outs: Fletch (inj), Monfries, Laycock, Rama, NLM

Ins: Bellchambers, Myers, Magin, JJ, Hooker.

If we are going to get beaten, at least we can see a young team. I am tired of out 22-27 yrs old dogging it out there. I realize JJ isn't young, but his form in bendigo warrants selection. He should have played to day, as we only really had 1 clearance player today and that was jobe.

Four debuts in one game.... Now thats ambitious.

YG, you might make reference to Merv's post. Where is John's at?

There's going to be a lot of changes made for next week!

Gumby in for Fletch? NO - Gumby is still weeks away.

Myers in for Jobe? NO - unless you really want to dump our best Mid?

Dempsey in for Pears? NO - Give Pears extended time.

Anyone in for Johns? YES - Let's see who performs for Bendigo

There's going to be a lot of changes made for next week!

Fletcher, McVeigh and Lucas all out. 3 of our best 4 players out. We are being decimated by injury. Tough ask to beat Port. As usual ill keep my faith and considering Port's recent poor form it isnt entirely impossible that we can beat them. All I ask for is the boys to show some fight and passion for the jumper. Disgusting performance on ANZAC Day.

Especially considering Magin is rookied and can't play unless he is elevated.

The_Young_Gun · Apr 26, 2008

Gumby's only 1 week away (Says EFC.com).

Also why wouldn't we bring in Dempsey, he'd be a perfect replacement for Davey....

Even though Pears has had a good run, with our loses he would need a bit of a confidence booster at bendigo, before he'd be at his best again in the future.

Dominating in the 2's will do good for him anyway....
