Changes v Essendon

[LeverPuller]

Damn.

 

[Topkent]

No hogan gawn smith Spencer makes it bloody hard

If we lose Trac as well jeez we are in trouble

 

[Bluelegs]

Bring Omac in and put Frost forward with Pederson. We're really not having a good period with our talls unfortunately.

The universe is writing a sequel for Supermercado at present.

 

[Skipper_]

Man I feel for you guys. Can't catch a break at the moment.

 

[JayJ20]

Having a bad week

I hope for your sake that the game still lives up to expectations.

 

[dee_mac]

Out: Smith, Spencer, Hogan, Tyson
In: Pederson, Weideman, Kent, Bugg

B: Jetta, Tmac, Melksham
HB: Hunt, Frost, Hibberd
C: Stretch, Viney, Lewis
HF: Petracca, Watts, Vince,
F: Garlett, Weideman, Kent
R: Pederson, Oliver, Jones
INT: Harmes, ANB, JKH, Bugg

Pedo, Frost & Watts to share the ruck duties

 

[Sando22]

Really hoping Tracc gets up!

 

[thetank]

Hannan back in...so I can get some extra cash from him in Supercoach.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Out: Smith, Spencer (both inj), Hogan (give him some time off)

In: Pedersen, Weideman, Lewis

Trengove or Bugg in if Petracca is unfit

 

[rhaz]

Hogan is confirmed not to play on Saturday. I would be hesitant to make any changes based on form now - just bring players in for those unavailable (Spencer, Smith and Hogan with Petracca another possibility).

Will be interesting to see how we set up our forward structure. Mosquito fleet?

 

[schmuttt]

Bring Pedersen and OMac in, Frost and Pedo swap forward/ruck so Watts can play forward all game.

 

[booshboy]

In: Pederson, OMac, Kent, Weideman

Out: Hogan, Spencer, JKH, Smith

I know Kent did nothing in the VFL, but he's a proven goal kicker at AFL level.

Bugg in for Petracca if unfit.

 

[Tulip]

Changed my mind on JKH. He can play again later in the season. I'd bring in Kent and Kennedy now and try playing Roos football with plenty of kicks over the top.

Yeah Kennedy Garlett Kent and Hannan. If we are gonna push right up with our press we may as well play some small blokes

 

[Tulip]

Hannan is 189, believe it or not.

 

[Topkent]

Hannan is 189, believe it or not.

Good at ground level though and has goal smarts. But he's deceptively tall I wouldn't have guessed that

 

[R_Grunter]

And if he'd gone through with it, probably would've won us the game...

Everything else aside seeing Jack Riewoldt get punched in that stupid sooky face of his would've made everything better.

 

[R_Grunter]

Hannan is 189, believe it or not.

I actually find that hard to believe...

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Jordan Lewis would be wanting to have a big game this week.

Given that we'll likely get killed in the middle of the ground unless Frost plays the game of his life in the ruck we need to pick midfielders who are able to pile the pressure on at the stoppages

 

[schmuttt]

I actually find that hard to believe...

He is definitely 189, I'm 186 and he has a couple on me.

Feeling for you guys re: injuries and Hoge's Dad.
You have good depth, which is good. I don't expect us to be much chop after the 5 day break.
These factors might make a reasonably even contest.
FWIW: Melksham will have a blinder, all of his weaknesses are between the ears, playing against the Dons will resolve that IMO.

Good luck this weekend.
RIP Mr. Hogan.

 

[booshboy]

Really didn't think I'd be saying this at the start of the year.

But if we beat Essendon this week it will be a really, really good win given our outs.

Given how gruelling our Monday night game was I don't think the break will make much of a difference
