Preview Changes / Pre-game Discussion for Rd 9 (Dons in Vic)

[Mogumber]

We'll lose unfortunately!
We just ain't that good

 

[Bigger]

Stringer is injured.

Ah, well, there you go. I saw their Anzac game and that's all I have seen of them this year.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

For this week I'd drop Aish before Crowden

 

[Joao]

Acres before Aish. He might have butchered the ball, but at least he got the thing.

I think we should try droping Acres for Cerra and put Tucker on the wing.

Yep, that would too.

Frankly, I think we are seeing why we got Acres and Aish at a "discount" (note: I don't think Aish is a bust, its just that he is ... average). The sign that we are going somewhere is when younger guys overtake them

 

[freo_leo29]

We should beat Essendon if we are showing improvement, they are playing about 5 players under 10 games.

They are a very raw team through injuries who are learning a new gameplan from their new coach.


Massive questions need to be asked if we drop this

 

[wayToGo_]

I think we should try droping Acres for Cerra and put Tucker on the wing.

I don't think we can because we'd be short a defender.

 

[wakojako]

Our midfield is getting spanked atm, our defence can hold its own.

 

[Taylor]

Darcy carrying the effort and intensity into this game is vital.

No I mean in terms of player numbers. We have Cox, Logue, Wilson, Watson, Duman, Conca. That's 6. We need a 7th to play. I'm fairly certain Tucker played at half back mostly/only last week. So if you move him on to a wing then you need someone else to rotate to the back line. Who is that?

Aish? Cerra to the wing too?

 

[Piggy Smalls]

That's the sort of reply i got when i said we'll get beaten by the freshly thrashed Eagles and the down and out blues (got the margin of 45 right too)

Essendon have been great this year and probably should have 5 or 6 wins.

This one will be hard viewing.

Great is a strong word to describe the team currently sitting in 15th. Especially when contrasted with the pessimism you have around Fremantle who are 4 and 4 and outside the 8 on percentage only with two winnable games coming up.

 

[DragoDelph]

Another case in Melbourne?
think the game will be moved?

They would play it with no crowd first IMO, we only moved ours as we were in a million dollar hole from the North game already

 

[Spirit Level]

Damn would love to play this at Metricon

 

[TheLastCall]

We could also swap the game with Bris later in the year. Bris happy with that as it would have meant they didn’t travel for 4 weeks.

 

[Wilksyy]

Switta and Cerra coming back this week?

Not confident on the win, I’ll be livid if we get smashed.

 

[freo1997]

Damn would love to play this at Metricon

Where did we beat Dees last year? Went alright there.

 

[Mogumber]

That was Cairns

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Ah, well, there you go. I saw their Anzac game and that's all I have seen of them this year.

injured his hammy last week against GWS.

Roughly 4 weeks out at this stage.

 

[Schauermann]

Well, I am not confident. But we really should beat Essendon. Even away.

 

[BStaff17]

They have been crap for 2 decades and i can only remember beating them once at marvel.
