Preview Changes vs. Essendon

[Dancing Potato]

BIG CHANGES ARE AFOOT Topkent

 

[schmuttt]

His goal on QB is still top 3 dees goals of all time for me

Probably loudest Dees crowd excluding the 2018 finals

 

[Daemon]

My god he is infuriating with his nothing answers lol. Blame should go to the journos also for the ridiculous softball questions.

Tholstrup/McVee/Kentfield will be available next week, VFL bye this week otherwise they would have played according to ****wit.

Wow those three in will certainly see us win. Were clearly the missing links.

 

[Topkent]

Personally I love the argument that we ruined Tom Fullarton because he could be studying at uni rather than playing footy.

It's true though, if we didn't trade for him and he went back 5 years and started training as an astronaut he could be equally shit at that by now

It's like a reverse Good Will Hunting where Robbin Williams needs to convince Fullarton to stop wasting his time pursuing a professional AFL career and fulfill his potential as a bricklayer.

I'm picking the Dons because Draper is (currently) a more reliable shot on goal than Max.

 

[melbun]

Final score: Dons to win, 8.17 to 3.7

 

[mrmonkey]

Essendon scoring at an average of 85 per game compared to Melbourne 62. Essendon have cracked the ton once already (in a loss) in only 3 games. Essendon are an easy team to score against, but we'll make it hard with our woeful ball movement and skill errors. We'll get an improvement on the 46 last week but I'll suspect it will be close to the average scores for. Essendon 13.7 85 to Melbourne 9.8.62.

My ears felt like I was listening to a blown-out speaker when he kicked that goal ... probably did permanent damage to my hearing. Worth it though lol

It was insane, then to be drowned out by the Booing by pies fans post game (that said even i said in that last quarter that we got away with some decisions late in that game)

 

[Toump Ass]

Absolutely one of the best moments I've had as a Dees supporter. That was such an epic moment.

 

[mrmonkey]

A bit off topic but in terms of epic moments ATG for me was Jeff White’s winner against the dogs in 05. Season hanging on the line and the dees stormed home to pinch it. Ne next week was Robbo's leg break. Both games were like elimination finals well the dogs game for both essendon had nothing to play for but for Melbourne it was. I regret not going to the Geelong game, beating Hawthorn was great, I think it's the only finals game win I've seen live. I don't think I went to the 02 elimination final. Was too young to go anything before and then nothing again after saints in 06 until 2018.

 

[Mich0]

Define the word 'recent players'...

You have literally got Jordan Gysberts listed on there and he was on our list as far back as 13 years ago. Were you even born then Mich0??

Bizarre list really... I mean Majak Daw? lols..

You take yourself way too seriously lol

Imagine actually analysing that list.

 

[jhong]

Coach has really swung the axe .


Nah just kidding .

 

[Scythe]

Ah yes, holding players accountable etc. At least there's one less tall forward, but once again, none of the premiership players get axed (surprise).

 

[wingersclub]

oh my

 

[Mich0]

Love how Goodwin threatens to drop under performing senior players, only to drop Turner and no one else.

Meanwhile we got 32 touch Laser and 5 goal Fullerton being unrewarded in the 2s.

Goodwin 'Surely Bigfooty will love me now I'm going small up forward'

Also no Tsatas FFS

Does this mean Fullarton gets a gig.???

if i had my way, i would play Turner as intercept defender... put River's to play mobile CHF... Lindsay to halfback flank... Fritta out to Casey... and Fullarton to the Forward pocket.

I would rest Windsor, if he needs injections in his foot/ankle.

 

[Scythe]

Suppose we couldn't drop a bunch after 'Hope Down the Highway'

Let's see what transpires on game day.?

 

[Bluelegs]

At least we'll have a smaller forwardline

Goody sureing up his support base.

circling the wagons as it were.

 

[schmuttt]

Also I don't rate Turner but why pick him then drop him after one game?

 

[Mich0]

Wonder if Sparrow will get chaired off for his 100th game after picking up 7 disposals in an 8 goal loss

 

[Daemon]

Well, great to see form is rewarded and punished. Goody doubling down on hoping people find form and learn how to play his exciting new game plan.

Expecting a 30 point loss.
