Prediction Changes for Essendon (OP updated with player availability)

[Timmy from Thomastown]

That's not the only other option

You can make up all sorts of silly scenarios but you’ll be wrong.

The club will move mihocek back and will have five mediums around cox up forward. With Treloar out they won’t want degoey spending much time forward.

Greenwood will probably play defensive forward as he has done in the past because he’s the best man for the job without upsetting existing defensive and midfield structures. Like for like has been a theme all year.... minimal shuffling of the chess pieces.

Disappointing that Varcoe isn’t named, hope he’s not injured. Looks like Langdon might miss going by the team sheet.

He's not injured, they just don't want to rush him.

Gary Hocking said on Tuesday that Varcoe needed another week in the VFL. Said that he wasn't going full throttle last week.

A bit silly if you ask me. Arguably a massive reason for North losing last week was because Ben Jacobs got injured and therefore Merrett got to roam free. Greenwood should actually resume tagging responsibilities.

 

[TradeDraft]

So Greenwood for Dunn.

So going for Midget Forward Line around Cox?

 

[good4footy]

I was hoping Varcoe would be right to come in. If we pull this off huge kudos to the coaching group. We aren't doing this on talent or personnel.

 

[Matt_352]

Tops 3 changes imo with potentially Greenwood, Murray and Brown coming in. Wills and Ox id leave out.

Don't tell the team that

WHE and Crocker are not short people.

We are actually doing it on both.

Not this week. Worst team for the year. May still be good enough to win but i reckon it will be based on how well we are able to stop the opposition rather than be at our best.

Disagree. We are stacked with talent, and most importantly desire. We will smash them.

 

[nahnah]

adams, langdon, greenwood and daicos will be the bench im guessing

Eventually theres a tipping point for teams you cant just do the next man up mantra.

i think this week is that tipping point

. Looks like Langdon might miss going by the team sheet.

If it looks like that to you, I think you are blind. No chance that he'll miss

 

[nahnah]

no zaharakis, no daniher, no parish. so they have a few outs, nowhere near our level of outs but it evens it a smidgen

 

[jmac70]

I’m not blind yet. Did buy a bottle of Talisker today though.

 

[unplugged]

What's the bet it's Mihocek back and Oxley comes in and plays forward or something stupid. Well that's what we would've done in 2016/17!

 

[CFC2010]

If it looks like that to you, I think you are blind. No chance that he'll miss

Agreed no chance Langdon will be dropped.

This game is just the challenge we need after two lackluster performances.

Brown deserves to come in IMO.

We also need to remember that they are a bunch of down hill skill skiers who crap their pants under pressure.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Midget forward line?
So dramatic

 

[nahnah]

i really stretched it by putting parish in the 'big outs', i'll admit

 

[jmac70]

We will lead by 7 goals at HT, and will cruise to a 5 goal win.
