Changes v Doggies

[go team]

If you were a member of the Essendon Football club selection committee, what would you suggested lineup changes be this week?

Me, well, if I was a member of the selection committee, I sure as hell wouldn't be posting my thoughts on an internet discussion group - so i'll keep my thoughts to myself.

[Let's Fly Jetstar!]

We know.

I hope you've got a trade up your sleeve, because he wont be playing.

Are you suggesting you are on the selection commitee? In which case it might be the reason Essendon have struggled this year if they ask for advice on the internet.

*Just in jest, in a perfect world i'd want essendon in the 8 ahead of collingwood*

JJ back in, Rioli mentioned that he wanted a rookie to come in to replace him, perhaps Firman will get a chance???

INs JJ, one other.
Outs Rioli, one other.

I'd Go

In: JJ, Lonergan, Lee & Nash
Out: Rioli, Reynolds, Cartledge & Bolton

 

[foj1]

In: Lee, Nash
Out: Rioli, McPhee
McPhee looks proppy to me. Farewell games for Bolton, Reynolds, Cartledge, Peverill and Solomon?

 

[DaSawx]

McPhee won't be dropped, sure he fumbled a little last week, but he still provided a heap of run off HB, will be very important against the Doggies this week, especially if need against B.Johnson at some stage, could even have a stint in the forward line if we want to try and stretch teir defence

I would be 'resting him'.

 

[go_the_bombers]

Why would you be resting him?

 

[Squeaky]

He'll have 8 weeks to rest AFTER he plays this weekend.

 

[Crave]

Cant see Bolton being dropped...seeing as the Dogs are vertically challenged at the minute. Might be a win for us if they stay true to their word and rest some of their gun kids in Cooney n Griffen. This game has youth written all over it.

Mark Johno has been offered 1 week for striking Kayne Pettifer

He was offered a reprimand (1 week without the early plea), but they are going to contest it anyway.

So if they lose the appeal does that mean he miss this week or just gets the reprimand?

He'll get the week, he is going to plead not guilty.

 

[go_the_bombers]

He'll get the week, he is going to plead not guilty.

Thanks Longy

I would of taken the reprimand

 

[Longy413]

Thanks Longy

The only problem with that is, he carries 70 odd points into next season and if he gets done again is in danger of getting an extra week.

If the club believe he is not guilty, and the footage looks like Pettifer may have taken a dive, then pleading not guilty and walking away with no points at all is a much better outcome.

Thats true!

Given the job McVeigh did on Johnson last time hopefully we wont need him to cover

I'd Go

Id go with this as well , Bradley back to second ruck.Not sure if there is a match up for Lee , maybe Jolley back for one last shot.

Good point!

I'd have Winderlich in instead of Lee or Jolley, even with him suffering slight concussion on the weekend.
