Prediction Changes V Essendon

[Suma Magic]

Lucky that Adelaide is struggling with injuries.

I think we can win the next three with no JD and JK.

And then perhaps they would both be back for the Pies game.

 

[WCE Wizard]

We have to be real clever how we move the ball and score goals. Have to be extra efficient in front of goal

1-3 weeks. Well lucikly we are playing an injury riddled Crows and GWS but it will be tough and we will have to grind out 3 wins till JK and Darling are back.

 

[Astro7]

The Footy Gods have shat on us again! Opp. teams boning up?
Need NN and Gov injury free for the Pies game in 3 weeks time,
which is supposedly when JK will be ready (maybe)..certainly JD.
Meantime Vardy, McInnes and M.Allen might be decent fillers.

 

[Dark Sharks]

I think Petruccelle would have to have the most misspelled name in the history of this board.

I'm actually offended.

 

[Crimson King]

Brander to kick 5.

 

[rog1995]

Yeah but not six weeks a tiny fracture is different to a serious 6 week injury. We have to be real creative with our forward half play for the next few weeks

A fracture is a break.. would be very suprised if Josh is playing in three.

 

[WCE Wizard]

Darling had a fracture as well and his was 4 to 6 weeks so JK 3 weeks seems about right. Oh well what can we do

 

[campaigner___]

Ahhh yep, the old west coast "3 week injury"... Always ends up being 6 weeks.

 

[Obeanie1]

So I hope those on here who went to town on the pies poster who advised of Kennedy's hair line leg fracture are posting their apologise.

Because he was spot on.

Well not exactly spot on, he said it was a six week injury, but yeah he was closer to the mark than we wanted to believe.

It's predicted to be 6 now. It was a month to 6 weeks supposedly 2 weeks ago. Fully expect that to blow out.

What’s with all the injuries and what really happened in the offseason camp? Also sack Burton.

 

[Spoon_Man]

Who TF is Burrows?

etc etc

EFA

Quality.

 

[Balls In]

Tell Gov to take some intercept marks in the forwardline, especially if we deliver it like we did last week.

In seriousness though we need him back in his customary one kick behind play intercept role. We missed that with him playing as a lock down defender last week.

 

[Suma Magic]

Our backline will be fine with Schofield playing Barrass' role. And our midfield is full strength.

No JD or JK is going to be a real test though.

 

[boondy]

Out . Kennedy
In . MAllen

 

[Obeanie1]

Maybe as a key defender? Not sure who comes out though. I think if we were comfortable going in with just Gov and smalls against Sydney then we'll be even more comfortable with that setup against a Daniher-less Bombers in the wet.

So do we think Woosha will pick a tall side?

Get ready for the land of the giants.

 

[omgfridge]

- Kennedy + Mallen as he can play fwd and back. Really think he offers more than McInnes.

Sheed probably deserves to be dropped and would be happy with either Ainsworth or AhChee.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Just bring big Fraser in a have him run through campaigners. All we need is for the ball to be brought to ground then let our small guys take over.

 

[boondy]

Out Brander
In Ah Chee

 

[Biggie]

Out Brander
In Ah Chee

JJK on one leg is better than Brander I’m taking?

 

[Obeanie1]

Do we bring in Vardy and McIness and Kennedy plus Brander make way?

That forward line needs some experienced heads. We cant play 4-5 players with less than 10 games and expect our structures to hold up.

Brander comes out if JJK isn't there. Play Vardy and Lycett up forward. Nic said he is prepared to run out games.

 

[Eagleboy68]

Any chance for Mackenzie to come in?

If we play McGovern forward McKenzie and Schofield covert down back?

I'm not sure where emac is in terms of his recovery

Sucks to have so many lower leg injuries.
Any chance it's the ground at Optus?

At least it's not losing them for finals.
