Changes vs Bombers.

[samcantstandya]

We made 5 changes albeit 2 forced, Garlett has always had these quiet periods in his career and usually after a rest comes back and plays his best footy.

He played really poorly in the VFL last night. He needs 2 show some hunger 4 the ball & hunt it.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Tim Smith had 31 possessions last night & Pedders dropped quite a lot of marks he shouldve taken.

but muh 2 good performances this season

 

[samcantstandya]

There's quiet and then there's shit. Some of the efforts he put in last Tuesday were farking weak - even for him. Might have been in the first or second quarter, but I remember the ball being loose in the forward 50 and Garlett half ran passed the thing and was given a very gentle nudge by someone that basically cleared him from the contest. It was U12s type stuff. Normally he'd swoop on the ball and have a pop at goal, but he looked disinterested and was in some other dreamworld against the Tigs.

I'm glad Goodwin dropped him to show it isn't acceptable to put in performances like that. Would be nice to extend that same standard to Harmes, although with him you can't accuse him of not trying; his problems appear to centre on the gulf between his imagined and actual ability.

If he plays poorly again 2day & doesn't get dropped then we def know the selection process is a crock of sushi.

I was talking about Harmes.

I feel sick about today's game tbh. I'm not going to watch it until I know the result. I need a break from watching us live. I'm getting too mad and upset. I tipped the Bombers, but this is a must win game. Yes, I know it's just round 6, but I honestly feel if we lose this one, it's season over. Our % is trash, and our form.is shot. Maybe a Sydney can recover from a start like that, but not us. We have to win this one..

There are the vaguest suggestions from a couple of Bombers posters that Daniher might be an out today. Not being reported anywhere reputable as yet though.

Please let this be true.

Feels inevitable to me this will be a game just like that Brisbane debacle where both sides lose. Low quality an turnovers galore.

even if he plays our LORD AND SAVIOUR omac will mean essendon only have 21 men anyway

To be fair we were majestic for three quarters v Brisbane. But yes, I agree.

Yes. Football will be the loser today.

No the Etihad Brisbane game. The worst game in AFL history

Do you mean 2015? I'm almost 100% sure that was at the G. Thought we were pretty decent against Brisbane last year - closer that it should have been but it was a grinding win. 2015 was a shit show iirc. Even 2016 when we won by 60+ was shit house. Why does playing Brisbane bring out the worst in us?

Wait nope ignore me, I remember the game you're talking about. Jesus Christ, so ****ing triggered by that memory. How ****ing dare you.

Nah. He definitely means the one at Etihad. It was a revolting joke on the part of everyone concerned

 

[demondavey]

The way Joey's playing at the moment we may as well just throw a blue and red jumper on him.

Not sure why we'd waste a premium defender on a witches hat.

It’s the kind of game he will come out and kick 6

 

[demondavey]

Surprised Robbo managed to put a sentence together.

 

[CTHORANGE]

AFL website has confirmed final teams, Jo Daniher is playing despite the rumours to the contrary

Surprised Robbo managed to put a sentence together.

Since being on this forum, I started watching AFL360 in a new light and I sort of cant stand Robbo now - I keep calling him Slobbo in my head, but in a looong way like Slooobbboo. He seems like a drooling lackey who is secretly plotting to overthrow his boss - He can't seem to decide if he hates footy players or wants to get it on with them

I bet he gets paid like $400K a year what a joke

I also think Chris Scott will strangle him one day, then burn him with a flamethrower

Go easy on me

From 29/04/2018 Joe Daniher now calls Oscar Mcdonald 'Daddy'. Also, I realised that if Jake Melksham still played for the Bombers he would be our best player by a country mile. Please come back to us Jake, we need your milkshake now more than ever.

but muh 2 good performances this season

15 touches, 11 hitouts, 1 goal , with 7 tackles and 5 inside 50s doesn't seem like that bad a game to me

Granted I didn't watch the casey game, but off stats alone it doesn't really seem like pedersen played poorly. 15 HO, a goal, 7 tackles, 5 i50s. If your second ruck does that, you take it, no? How'd Weid go yesterday?
