Preview Changes Vs Essendon round 21

[Dark Sharks]

Heppell is their most dangerous player for mine. Need to shut him down.

I think it's safe to expect Hurn won't be getting anywhere near as much space as Collingwood gave him in the first quarter last week.

Forgot about Dyson. Hmmmm, nah his ball use is still pretty average. I'd still prefer to clamp down on Goddard and take his elite kicking skills out of it.

No chance. Hurn will have someone hanging off one of his thighs all game.

 

[Dark Sharks]

more like we have ditched the Simpson style and reverted to the Worsfold game plan in the last two weeks

Which was what exactly? The game plan that saw us kick record low scores in his last few weeks before he was tapped on the shoulder and moved on?

 

[ep2018]

Na our percentage is too good to win all 3 and not make it, unless of course the pies win all 3, and the crows win all 3, then we screwed, can't see that happening given both of their form of late.

Hope Richmond can continue their good form and beat the crows this week. I think Adelaide are good enough to beat North and Collingwood will beat Hawthorn if Hawks have nothing to lose losing.

I'll be amazed if Collingwood beat Hawthorn.

Yeah true, hopefully the Hawks are more worried about playing well leading into the finals, rather than resting everyone for the last game. Don't think Richmond will beat the crows at AO, but I do think North will beat the crows in tassie, so crows likely to finsh on 12 wins, bombers probably 12 too, they could even only get 11 wins if we beat them and Carlton beat them in the last round.

So many what if's and could be's, we are still a silly chance to make it even if we lose this wekeend, but everything would have to go our way, and there would have to be some MASSIVE upsets for that to happen. Sadly I reckon we will go down the the Bombers and it will be back to feeling like we did after the richmond game, season over

 

[3KZ is Football]

We have no trolls on the Eagles board. We are all nice people.

This is true. Really hoping the Eagles can win this one. Speaking through my pocket, because I am leading my work tipping comp by 1 game and I will be tipping the Eagles. Essendon are over-rated,particularly in attack. If your defenders can get on top early, then that will go a long way to getting you home.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Surely Watson needs a run in the VFL?!

What's it been...12 weeks? You would think he needs to get some run into his legs before coming back into the ones...

like Watson told the coach, you don't see too many Group 1 racehorses running around in the country

 

[Lance Uppercut]

heh

 

[eagles rule]

I'll be amazed if Collingwood beat Hawthorn.

Could depend on Clarko freshening players or strategy with playing Geelong or Freo/Port

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[eagles rule]

Hawthorn will mash collingwood. Buckley has the tactical sense of Mitch Brown

Hehehe yes very true

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Yes agree, the really good players don't come through the seconds.

 

[Kakkle]

FYI


In: Ambrose, Watson, Hibberd, Steinberg
Out: Fantasia, Kavanagh, Carlisle, Dell'Olio

 

[DickDunn]

Ryan Daniels @FootyRhino · 17m
Lecras out again, X Ellis will also miss

Ryan Daniels @FootyRhino · 17m
Adam Simpson says Dean Cox and @RealNaitanui will both play against @EssendonFC

 

[Prem87]

Carlisle is a huge out, especially since Bellchambers is not in and they're keeping Daniher.

 

[JADED]

Watson in > Carlisle out so probably a better side this week than last.
Few best 22 out of both sides. Our depth is playing reasonably well. We bat deeper!

 

[lewigie]

Watson in is huge. Carlisle out is pretty big too though. Means we can swing McGovern forward ?

 

[94_Eagles]

If there was any week I would put my house on an Eagles win away from home it would be this week? 40+ easily, maybe even a 60 point win.

Literally who will kick goals for them?

Someone fast and pacy of they get the ball in fast behind the defence maybe?

Their midfield and smalls.

Jab?

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah their smaller types worry me, especially if Jab goes forward. Him and Chapman are goal kickers, add in Melksham, Winderlich & those type of running mid/forwards, we will struggle to contain them. Their talls shouldn't worry us.

 

[dajesmac]

Interesting to see if Cox is selected if we play in or even win a final.

 

[94_Eagles]

If fit he would be a certainty.

What the actual **** is wrong with you?
