Prediction Changes for Essendon (OP updated with player availability)

[eth-dog]

Got that from one of the Ess supporters. Is it not correct?

I said last year.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Doesn't make it a desirable outcome. You would like players to have a few games under the belt come the pointy end of the season. Last thing you need is a deer in the headlights.

Ideally. But it has happened and will happen again. McLarty should only be selected if his form warrants it.

Dont forget legendary Collingwood forward Dermott Brereton also played his first game in a final at his original club!!!

I'll tell you whats not a desirable outcome....14 injuries is not a desirable outcome!!! We need some back before September, eg Moore Reid Elliott Varcoe Treloar (fingers crossed) and Aish. In the meantime we have the depth to scrape through but are certainly starting to test that depth.

He is playing in the VFL this week. If he isn't 110% right he wouldn't be playing. I think my GPS question has been answered

Is he (Moore) actually confirmed for the VFL yet (or Billy)? Not convinced til I see it in writing.

Our average length for getting blokes back from hammies is about 3 years currently.{sarcasm font}

Weren't they listed as "test" to return for VFL duties? So they maybe another week away from even a VFL return yet.

 

[Corby_4]

Okay now you say that i think it was when he played at Port last year. Apparently he had kicked a bag game before and a bag game after, but Mihocek kept him goaless in between.

Hopefully this play in McKernan's mind, knowing that Brody already has one over him.

How much do we need to win by and Richmond lose by for us to be first?

You'd be looking at roughly a 20 goal swing - give or take a couple of goals.

I'm pretty sure Greenwood will come back if available. He can play either as a back pocket or forward pocket, or alternatively tag merrett if need be.

Hes an absolute certainly and its total madness to suggest he shouldnt be picked.

 

[Mongo Ming]

Oh thank Jebus for that. Time for him to race back and pump up his contract by dominating at CHB in our top 4 push (hoping).

he is terrible up forward, rather him play back pocket

Didn’t the Incredible Hulk (Aka Rene Kink) debut for us as a 16 yr old in finals (Prelim) too?

Timmy Watson debuted at 15.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Len Thompson and Rene Kink debuted in finals!

As did Dermie

Wore number 3 for us

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Turd Browne really is becoming a germ

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

Forget Reid, the bloke's toast. Probably do himself an injury 10 minutes in and leave us a man down.

That’s a bit harsh. He may still have a massive role to play.

 

[Fruit]

Greenwood had a really good few weeks for us last year as a Centre Half Forward.

 

[Quicky]

I guess it's a choice between Mihocek and McLarty for full back this week. I reckon the selectors will go Mihocek and it would be hard to fault that. But I really hope we debut McLarty, give him a taste and maintain our existing forward structure. McLarty can either step up or get replaced by Moore or Reid when they're available in the coming weeks.

 

[Mongo Ming]

That’s a bit harsh. He may still have a massive role to play.

He can bring out the oranges at half time.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

I'd like to see something like this:

Maynard, Mihocek, Crisp
Langdon, Scharenberg, Howe
Phillips, Greenwood (Merrett), Mayne
WHE, Cox, Varcoe
Thomas, De Goey, Stephenson
Grundy, Pendles, Sidebottom

Murray, Adams, Sier, Crocker

 

[Yidaki]

Forget Reid, the bloke's toast. Probably do himself an injury 10 minutes in and leave us a man down.

Agreed. He isn't part of our 22 anymore sadly. His games this year were average at best.

 

[good4footy]

Does anyone know if WHE has trained?

 

[TW Sherrin]

That’s a bit harsh. He may still have a massive role to play.

They dont cut oranges anymore.
