Preview Changes v Bombers.

[Sunny_]

Essendon at Etihad!

OUT: Dixon (inj), Martin (inj), Gorringe (inj)

Out best for the NEAFL on the weekend were:

M. Warnock , J. Ellis , J. Leslie , C. Cameron , L. Osborne , T. Murphy.

So I would go:

IN: Broughton, Warnock, Murphy.

Also, how good to see Leslie amongst the best? He's really started to come on.

 

[Covertackle]

No K?

 

[Sunny_]

No K?

Needs to play well to be elevated.

 

[SUNS]

Leslie to possibly come in and get a game in the ruck?

Leslie to possibly come in and get a game in the ruck?

He's not a ruck unfortunately. Really struggled in that position even in the U18s.

Rory and Day will be our rucks I think. Bring Warnock in to cover Rory in defence.

Ryder will jump all over them though.

 

[SUNS]

Yep my first worry was Ryder is gonna have a field day

 

[SUNS]

I know it wont happen but I say stuff it, bring Schade in

 

[Sunny_]

I know it wont happen but I say stuff it, bring Schade in

Think he might have had 5 kicked on him in the NEAFL.

Not really deserving.

 

[nutstar]

Why has Warnock not had a look in this season?

Isn't that a good day out for our NEAFL team

 

[Sunny_]

Why has Warnock not had a look in this season?

Not getting a new contract. Long term view is... would you rather get games into the young players like May and Rory, who will be around for the next decade? Or Warnock, who will only be here for another two games?

 

[TheSunGod]

Geez the cupboard looks pretty bare. Maybe Bluey and Solly to pull on the boots?
Our supposedly over-generous "premiership gifting" draft concessions suddenly don't look so over-generous now, especially when we need to reduce the list by another two players for 2015. The depth on our list really drops away after 25 or so. Long way to go before we can match the depth of a Sydney or Hawthorn. Clayton really needs to earn his dough over the next couple of ND / FA periods - could either make us or break us.

 

[eth-dog]

Hey fellas, you're welcome to come over and discuss the game with us. Is Gorringe injured? Wow, if that's the case...

 

[Ben Drever]

Swallow to ruck.. The kid flies like the wind at a million miles a hour as the 3rd up.. **** Ryder..!just have all on ballers in there getting Ryder's tap.!!

 

[Ben Drever]

Give Ellis Leslie n Allen a crack this season.. Put some fire in there belly for pre season

 

[Ben Drever]

Almost willing to wrap Prestia n swallow in cotton wool...
More so swallow.. Goes in soo hard.. Takes so many hits... Been playing injured for weeks... Don't want him going down now...
Give him an extra 2weeks to recover.. Come pre season.. His ready to give 120% n drag his team mates with him

 

[Experimental]

I haven't seen the replay yet, and I haven't seen an injury list, but I swear I heard Bluey say that Martin only had a cork and he should be right for next week against Essendon. Same with Dixon actually. Unsure about the others though.

OUT: Martin, Dixon, Gorringe, Sumner
IN: Hall, Smith, Broughton, Warnock

Will update this once there's been an injury update.

Gorringe and Martin will be a big difference for our game against Essendon. We're a chance if we have those two, but without them I'm not as confident.

 

[supernova_]

Isn't Nicholls just about right to go? I swear I saw something this week he was hoping to come in for the last 2 games?

 

[jackenny]

Sounds good. How did Jobe Watson perform in his first game back?

He is probably my biggest concern taking on the Bombers tbh.

Think he just started doing contact work this week?

30 disposals and a goal

 

[SandyToes]

I'd be surprised if Shaw and Hall weren't back in to try and expose Essendon's lack of pace.
Sam Day will play again by default because of our big man injuries.
Rory will have to ruck, so Warhammer will probably play
Broughton straight back in
You can pick the outs from 6 or 7

 

[Iva Bigun]

Why has Warnock not had a look in this season?

Its been great to watch him run around in the reserves why Zorko kills it in the seniors, hindsight is a wonderful thing but geez did we make a mistake in going for the short term fix here. Hopefully we don't repeat this error with Frawley.

Agree Shaw comes straight back in
If Gooringe is injured Sammy will have to play ruck , there is just no one else .
Warnock will have to come in and repace Day down back , but still leaves Lynch alone focal point , ive got no idea what Bluey will do here , maybe throw a leslie or a Schade to help out?

 

[Iva Bigun]

Why not bring in Leslie, Schade, Allen,Hunt, the season is over and a taste of the level they need to play at could only be a good thing going into pre season and give us a chance to say goodbye to K.
