Prediction Changes for Essendon (OP updated with player availability)

[wicksy]

If Dunn is injured. Does Moore come straight back into the aFL side?

Personally i'd go with Reid.
Mihocek is doing brilliantly up forward and can go back (Reminded myself last night that we actually drafted him as a defender anyway).
When Moore is back, we sit him on the pine and use him as a swing man but we have to be absolutely convinved that his body is ready to go.

 

[Darkyprotector]

Think the humidity and lack of rotations might mean a few changes
Think Dunn , daicos , Crocker out

2 big games today for us , vfl and north vs dons

Greenwood mihochek apples
Shaz Howe crisp

Phillips pendels Sidey
Grundy. Adams. Seir

Need to keep an eye on their small up forward. Might need to get Murray back in next week. Hopefully he has a good one today.

 

[RGpies]

Really nervous for this game against the bombers, they are in good form and playing to get in the 8. How long can our depth hold on for?

 

[Kirby]

He had a very good game from the last 2 and a half quarters that I saw. Used it well and looks ready for a recall.

Why the F is this game a bloody Sunday game Essendon vs Collingwood should never I repeat never be Sunday graveyards time slot! What a shit time slot.

Someone at AFL scheduling needs shooting. An oversight of Eds/clubs too as they also have some say over it.

Just like Phillips last season we need to pump games into young Murray because already his best performances thus far have proven more influential on a match than any of Appleby, Greenwood, Crocker, Mayne, Daicos or Brown in 2018 IMO.

Like Phillips he's still a rough diamond but what he offers is still of value to the team.

With Wells, Treloar and now Dunn injured we've reached a tipping point that unless we get some quality back real soon from the sidelines and provide another opportunity to the likes of Murray it's hard to see us going deep into September.

 

[TradeDraft]

NO Change IF Injury Free IF Dunn is Injured:

IN: C Brown
OUT: Dunn

Mioheck go down back

IF we think we are good enough to make Top4 we beat Essendon

How'd McLarty look, Kirb?

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Just need to smash Essendon in the midfield. If they get easy clearances, they’ll kill every team in the spread. Need to keep it tight.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Unlike some previous false alarms....................

This is a danger game.

They're in great form, it would be a huge win with our injuries if we can pull through.

Our next two are 3.20 games.

Meh.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

School holidays...theoretically a more friendly timeslot when the kids dont have school the next day.

Using the Pies to drag in the crowds as usual. What else is new.

We sucked last year. And they were't that much better. And TV rights money speaks. That's why...

More friendly time slot than 2.10 on Saturday?

 

[Copeland]

Out: Dunn (amputation)
In: McLarty (back)

Remind me if he's played since being injured pls

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

More friendly than 3:20 Sunday when its not school holidays.

Sorry if I didnt make that clear. The AFL want to promote this timeslot and what better way than to schedule Collingwood when the kids are more likely to be brought along.

 

[Tippy78]

More friendly than 3:20 Sunday when its not school holidays.

3.20 Sunday timeslot just shouldn’t exist. School holidays or not

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

3.20 Sunday timeslot just shouldn’t exist. School holidays or not

Its not my point. Take it up with somebody else.

 

[domus]

How’s Elliot tracking?

Starting to lack that run out of the half back moving abit slower now. Think it’s time for Murray to have a run.
Varcoe’s forward pressure would be handy against this mob.

Spot on. Essendon is loaded with pace. Varcoe and Murray in regardless of their performances in the VFL. Daicos and Dunn out.

 

[Tippy78]

No thanks Timmy, I’ll keep it to myself

We got kissed on the dick with results this week and are now a game and a half ahead of 6th
