Changes v Essendon

[bresker]

Eff da haterz Hayesy. Play a blinder. 26 touches and 3 goals.

Score involvements are if you have a possession in the chain that ends up in a score, correct? That is damning on Caleb Daniel. So he gets it to a player safely but those players might not be in advantageous positions??

Apologies. I didn’t update JJ and Daniels score involvements to the correct figures.

Hayes might be an inspired selection. I thought he was picking up the pace of the seniors reasonably when he was dropped earlier in the season.

I remember him being completely out of his depth.

I predict he will go ok. He's pretty versatile where he can play coming off the bench. Could be a good bench rotation choice.

When you break down his qualities so succinctly, I imagine we’ll be hard pressed to hang onto Hayes in the next couple of trade periods. Can’t play football but you should see this lad come off the bench. Hawks, Tigers, Pies...everyone is going to be kicking the door down to get their mitts on, bench rotation superstar, Will Hayes.

Duryea for Daniel was obvious. Would've rathered West to Will Hayes

Can’t help it ... would rather have had ...

 

[ScragCity]

Hayes inclusion tells me that Bevo has gone into tank-mode now that we can't make finals. I approve but he should have brought in Roarke too.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Can't for the life of me figure out what Hayes actually offers the side. Makes no sense.

Maybe with the son of David Hayes selected we will bolt in and win by the length of the straight in a canter.

It's common knowledge that his dad has been sending cheques to everyone on the match committee.

 

[grassman75]

This is the Will Hayes we brought in right?

 

[ScragCity]

Essendon will win this by 20+ goals. Stringer will kick 7. Zack Merret and Dylan Shiel will embarrass our mids and Hooker and Ambrose will mark every ball we send inside 50.

Why do you bother giving opinions?

It's been sooo long since you had a decent bite that it's come to this???? You're better than this Scrag. Lift son!

 

[Unorth]

Yeah, when you lose a game the week before because of woeful foot skills and decision making when driving the ball forward, playing well enough in every other facet of the game but let down by atrocious forward entries and shots on goal...And then Will Hayes is brought in?

It's just so perplexing when you consider what our issues were last week and what needed to be rectified.

That being said, Essendon's gone for 6 changes, can't be ideal for them. And Hayes alone is unlikely to determine the outcome of this game. There'll be a lot more at play, so hopefully our more experienced players step up and lead the way, because some of them have been letting us down big time.

 

[wian]

Hayes?? Surely Bevvo is in "Tank Mode" now..

Hunter should have been dropped... He needs to go back to the Magoo's and earn back his place

 

[Adz]

Bevo is playing the kids.

Have you seen our ins?

You will win by 100

 

[CarnTheScray]

Nah mate if we were to thrash you, it would be like the Freo game.

Dominate the entire game but only win by under 50, as it is Bulldogs tradition.

Someone please ban this numpty. Mods??!!??!!??!!

 

[darthbards]

You should send messages like that privately. I even think it's in the rules to do it that way.

Rules schmules. I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

 

[Yojimbo]

If you imagine Hayes is French for Sweet it helps you get through, I would not be surprised at a late
change of Lachlan Young in for the injured Hayden Crozier just a feeling I am getting.

I know Hayes is not French for Sweet by the way.

darthbards is my favourite poster and the Earth is flat.

Have you been watching us lately? We are trash. Your mids will run riot over us. Dogs by 33.

Also how bad is Daniels Hammie? He out for long (SuperCoach)

 

[Ash1337]

No Saad or Francis for essendon means they're going to seriously lack intercept ability and attack from the back line which is where most of their goals are generated from. Hayes is not a bad kick by foot but he isn't elite either. I hope he's there to provide forward pressure.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Too much noise for my liking about how under manned Essendon are, backs against the wall etc

Yep.

 

[perro_loco]

Lol. Love how MC trolls our selection thread most weeks.

Anyone live near VUWO? Could you look through the venetians and see whether the pitchfork and torch mob have arrived yet, please?

not yet. its raining and cold, so doubt it too.
