Prediction Changes for Essendon (OP updated with player availability)

[domus]

Definite possibility, but I don't think it will happen. Whilst I rate Brown higher than Daicos, I wouldn't make that change, as I reckon we're well stocked for inside mids.

Daics hasn't done enough in recent weeks.

 

[sr36]

Agree, with Sier JDG Adams and Greenwood doing the dirty work, I think Daicos offers more of something different compared to what Brown offers.

Plus Pendles and Sidey do a fair bit of dirty work. Callum's got to push one of the insiders out, or get significantly better on the spread to become a genuine inside/outside mid. For me, he should be viewed as inside depth who is developing his overall game in the VFL.

 

[1eye]

Actually a bit worried about this game. My superstition has me concerned that outside West Coast, every other team that got on a run maxed out at 6 in a row. They lost the 7th.

Then we'll win....we're not other teams!

 

[mike123]

Your selection strategy is anyone but him.

It actually isn't, I'm fine if people want to bring him in and I'll accept that's the most likely outcome. I'm just not going to call people silly if they don't include him.

 

[mike123]

Daics hasn't done enough in recent weeks.

He had 18 touches and 5 tackles. He's not lighting it up but he's getting his hands on it applying pressure and usually does a couple of more clever things a games.

It probably comes down to whether he is following instructions and sticking to structures. Personally, I wouldn't drop him after what appeared to be his best game in the seniors so far.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Yet you still havent come up with a viable alternative 22 without Greenwood that would support your argument that hes not an automatic in this week.

 

[Mukesh]

We embarrassed them on Anzac Day.
Since then they have got form and we are injury struck.
Not really sure how we can stop them kicking a winning score with our backline in disarray.

Don’t think disarray is accurate but I share you misgivings. I suspect we’ll be unhappy come Sunday night... and it doesn’t get any easier over the next few weeks

 

[Tarkyn_24]

So Greenwood for Dunn.

So going for Midget Forward Line around Cox?

Who did you expect us to bring in? Magden? Kinnear?

 

[Piesnchess]

a danger game, these bastards are playing better now, we cannot take em lightly. and I don't think we will. Be tight and tough, but I don't rate Dons defence much, bit ragged, we can and should win by three goals or so.

 

[Finnishpie]

So Greenwood for Dunn.

So going for Midget Forward Line around Cox?

De Goey will play forward. He’s a medium - once would have been considered a key position player.

 

[Old Spice]

Brown for Daicos is a possibility. But that could just as easily happen next week or the week after.

Brown has some toe and I think we need breakaway speed more than what Daicos is offering on the outside, which isn't much at the moment.

I'd go Greenwood in for Dunn (Mihocek down back) and Brown for Daicos.

 

[grayza2018]

Greenwood definitely in, I can't split that last bench spot between Daics and Browny...Murray Oxley and Wills to play VFL

Don't have a great feeling about this one, but we've stood up already this season when it's been needed so lets do it again!

Celebrate Sidey's 200th in style

 

[Old Spice]

What's the go with McLarty at the moment?

 

[mike123]

Yet you still havent come up with a viable alternative 22 without Greenwood that would support your argument that hes not an automatic in this week.

Why would I bother coming up with one when you opinion is already set stone and your convinced everyone who thinks differently is an knows nothing about football?

 

[jmac70]

What's the go with McLarty at the moment?

He’s a boy in a man’s body.

 

[Old Spice]

I'd like to know. Who are your ins?

 

[mike123]

I'd like to know. Who are your ins?

Either one of Murray, Brown or Greenwood.

All involve Mihocek going down back for Dunn

Murray to wing Mayne up forward to give us height.

Brown in the mid/fwd rotation De Goey to spend more time up forward.

Greenwood to the mid/fwd rotation De Goey up forward.

Doesn't bother me which one happens.

I'd like Brown's form to rewarded, Murray to be intergrated into the team asap and Greenwood is an experienced body.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Bring in Rupert. He’s as tall as Mihocek, and can play a role as the 2nd forward. He likes to tackle, and can rotate with De Goey through the midfield.

Contested possession is the key to this game.

 

[Bad Horse]

Why is this a bad thing

I find it significant, and indeed not surprising, that a follower of the most vile regime known to history could pose such a question, a regime of such transported evil, such an affront to all that is good and decent and life-affirming, such a sick and twisted cult of personality, that the mere mention of its name may cause good men to vomit and bad men to feel vaguely good about themselves like stealing but from a bank or something.

The North Korea reference is also a bit in bad taste but we will let that slide.

What, indeed, is wrong with ponies?

Some people, the weak and naive and comfortably satisfied amongst them, might see advantages to ponies. I will enumerate them; home defense; elimination of possums, feral cats, Melbourne supporters, and other small pests; establishing swift dominance of Australia day barbecues; deterring neighbourhood citizens from sneaking into the back yard and fondling Greek statuary suggestively; companionship for disfavored relatives; and tax deductions.

But those of us who look beyond such frivolous things (well, the statuary thing is kind of useful, but I digress), know the truth. Ponies sow turmoil and confusion, Mister Dapperjong or is it Mister Fluttershy?. They are sent forth to take peace from the earth so that we should kill one another, and failing that, so that the ponies will kill us, possibly but not necessarily using our own Thermomixes.

You might as well ask what is wrong with dwarf pr0n, what is wrong with war, what is wrong with injecting all your players with the kind of cocktail of unapproved substances only a ****ing B-Movie villain would come up with while losing the ****ing excel spreadsheet...

Actually, what is wrong with dwarf pr0n? I went to this [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] small tub of baby oil and a barrel of gerbils.

Yes, it does not surprise me that one of your ken should see fit to dabble in the dark places, to do "whatever it takes", to find in the great unabridged Schedule zero of life something that even a One Nation supporter would shun and I don't mean anal sex I mean the other thing thank you very much.

In summary,





Ein volk, ein reich, ein fluttershy.....Mister Dappershy.

I know your kind. Begone.

 

[Tazzaye]

Well im likely to go so that pretty much means that we will lose
