Preview Changes/Preview Essendon v Richmond Sat 31st August 7.40pm MCG

[vaughany]

Will be interesting week at selection table, obviously want minimal changes after the great win. The Davey situation is awkward he should be dropped but he is on 99 games, do we give him one more so his 4 kids are eligible for father son rule? Hopefully Winderlich is ready? Play Belly or Hille and NLM possible farewell games?

Logical approach:
In: Fletch Winderlich Colyer
Out: Pears Davey Hocking (susp)

Sentimental approach:
In: Fletch Hille NLM
Out: Pears Daniher Hocking (susp)

 

[VelvetSledge]

Davey won't be dropped, and I don't think Licka is right yet.

IN: Fletcher, Colyer
OUT: Kommer (I know it won't happen), Hocking (susp)

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Out: Hocking, Kommer/Merret
In: Colyer/Browne, Fletch


ZOOMMMMGGGGGGGMGMGMG DAVEY 100 GAMES!

What did Buddha do?

In: Fletcher, Colyer
Out: Pears, Hocking

 

[BrunoV]

Davey can only play as sub if he has to play at all. He has been terrible since early season.

What did Buddha do?

In: Fletcher, Colyer
Out: Pears, Hocking

Got Yarran with a forearm. Looked pretty deliberate and with his record don't think he's much chance of getting off.

[Ben the Gooner]

Good lad, **** Carlton and **** Yarran.

 

[table tennis]

I'm not fussed by the ins and outs.

Just every motherfecker get to the MCG on Saturday night and throw your support behind our bombers.

Our players have been wonderful under the most extreme duress this season, and we owe it to them to get our arses into those 100,000 seats, and celebrate what they have done.

A little milestone for Dustin Fletcher too.

Lets give these Richmond folk a hard time. It's our home game, lets get 70-80K Essendon fans there.

Gave an elbow/forearm to Yarran.

EDIT: I should really refresh pages before posting.

 

[Crimsons]

Farewell game for Lovett-Murray, Hille, Davey & Fletcher ?

We didn't drop Kommer when he played shit, so why drop him when he played well?

 

[rines]

Davey will get 100 games. Even if he is sub and comes on for 5 minutes in the last qtr.

Hocking is gone.. and who know what the MRP will do given the current situation.. maybe 6 weeks.. maybe 12.. don't know.

So IN: Fletcher
Out: Hocking

there isnt much difference between his best and worst, is there?..

 

[loopy_cam]

Out: Hocking
In: Fletch

Make it work.

No way Kommer played poorly enough to be dropped. I think he's become a whipping boy.

 

[lemon chicken]

Simpson gave him a dead set bath for the second time this year. Takes an eternity to kick the ball from a mark or free. I'd like to hear nominations for worse footballers from any club to play 20 games in a season which he will do this week. Even opposition supporters have cottoned on to how much of a spud this guy is.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Kommer has to go. He was quick and agile at the start of the year but the season is too long for him. Looking very sluggish out there.

Stanton looking dead also.

Depending on what happens and if we do play finals then I think Dempsey and Winderlich may have to play. If not then the kids plus NLM and maybe Hille.

 

[jesselift]

surely we'll give hille and NLM a game

 

[eth-dog]

Hille deserves a game, as does NLM. Put Joe back in the VFL. Hocking out. Fletch in for Pears.

 

[Zach Package]

There's a possibility (wrongly) that this ends up a dead rubber, if so farewell games for Hille and NLM, 100th for Davey are definitely in order.

Lets hope the giants inflict physical damage today

Sheedy's pre-match pep-talk (no pun intended) was a good indication then.

 

[yaco55]

The AFL's media driven campaign has costs crowds in the last two weeks. Should have been 70,000 last night with essendon entrenched in the eight, and Carlton fighting for a place in the eight. This week against Richmond should get 80,000, but won't, because the fans see it as a dead rubber.
