The team selections are fine. We lose two good players unfortunately, but absolutely no excuses to lose to an Essendon team ravaged by injury.

We lose and season over. That should be enough motivation for every player to lift their game. Expect Bont to get a bit of attention off the ball, so I'm expecting big games from Hunter, Dunkley and Macrae.

Getting behind Hayes, kill it son.
 
Still can't fathom the level of criticism directed at Hayes.

He had an excellent debut albeit in a losing team, followed by few reasonably solid games before running out of steam/confidence against Geelong at the Cattery.

Hope he comes back with renewed confidence and surprises some of his critics.

I’m not really a fan of Hayes, as I think he just offers redundancy, but I recall Hayes producing a few really good inside 50s. If he can do that this week he will add something.

Whilst I would have preferred West in, Hayes is a strong runner who will cover plenty of ground. Given that is Essendons main weapon, the selection is not completely without logic.
That must be it. He can certainly cover ground and I hope he does well, I have little faith that his disposal under pressure is good enough to play a running role in AFL football. Perhaps that will come with time and experience.

If anyone questions why we would be interested in running types like Isaac Smith or Jack Martin, this is exhibit A.

Sorry, slightly off topic, but whats the chances of rocking up on Saturday night and getting entry with my membership. I know this is a replacement game however subject to capacity
 
Haha go on and list the 12 walk up starts, we could all use a laugh. Besides, they were all in last year and we accounted for you comfortably.

Not having Joe “Swan” Daniher handballing in the goal square is probably a win tbh

lol why are you so mad? i said 10-12. i didnt say its an excuse? someone said you had 6 outs, i just said we had more.

Doggies are a good team - would likely beat us best 22 vs best 22.

you are a dh. We have some important outs but 12 players is a huge stretch. Heppell is playing too.
