Changes vs Essendon

[iluvparis]

Well these selections have got me excited....not!

Disgraceful selecting IMHO.

MrGrath and Sporn are alright...but think Fisher and Saddington should be out before Bannister/Carrazzo/Kennedy. Both McGrath and Sporn were unlucky to loose their spots in the first place.

Wouldn't mind dropping Wiggins to give Blackwell a go...we need to spread the load a little with the clearances.

Maybe French is not playing (injured)...so they need to bring in Deluca?

Its the same bull every week, pagan goes for the win instead of rebuilding the team

i can't believe some of the stuff i have read here today. Prenda, yeah, good game for the Bullants last week. We beat up a depleted box hill side. Prenda has never done much in the seniors, although if everyone played with his endeavour we would go ok. Now if Prenda played 5 or 6 senior games in a row and didn't perform to the standards that we expect people would be saying "why the hell does Pagan keep playing Prenda, he is crap", which is what i used to hear every week when he was a regular senior player. Same goes for McGrath, he doesn't do terribly much at all. Now if you want to have a good look at the listed best players last week for the Bullants, please tell me who out of those players will be bringing our club up the ladder. I know how frustrated it gets for everyone bringing in the same old people, but there is no difference bringing back De Luca or Prenda, we will get the same out of both. And Longmuir, why would we want him playing in the seniors, he has done nothing at all yet to impress anyone. Hopefully when the guys who are ready to play senior footy actually get the chance. Not those who aren't going to be leading our club forwards.

sorry i have to disagree with you here. why on earth would you bring back adrian deluca after one week in the seconds?

Do you disagree with everything i said, or just DeLuca? I understand where you are coming from, but i fail to see how Prenda will be of any value to the senior team if that's who you would rather come in. I don't rate DeLuca that highly - he has very slow decision making. He can be uesful, and Pagan is probably trying to strech the Essendon defence this week. Who would you like to see in the seniors this week? Beleive me, none of the 'ins' excited me when i heard them either, its just that no one else is really up to it yet. And DeLuca is no certainty to play at this stage either

He is as he's in the 18.

Final changes:

French, Bannister- out
De luca, McGrath- in

I am a bit worried about those changes. Last year when French was out we were slaughtered. Just hope McClaren can step up.

Think Bannister is a bit stiff too. Hasn't been to bad with limited game time...personally would have dropped Saddington. Another example of player in form being giving limited opportunity and returned to the VFL with lowered confidence.

 

[jj1978]

I say for this game lets rest; Kouta, Lappin, Whitnall, Stevens, Fevola and Thorton and let them play for the Bullants... just so they can feel a bit of a win and get some perspective... give some of the younger kids a go in their place and hopefully learn a bit about desperation and self pride.

The season is shot and I agree with a lot of our members that we need to play more kids and if a game against Essendon where our backs are to the wall and a loss will put us in Last Place (most likely unless Bris lose too), wont be enough to inspire our kids to fight and fight and be proud then we're in deeper trouble than I thought!

Go Blues no matter what I still love ya's!

I have read on another thread that Pratt is going to give Carlton 7 mil to get it out of the .... does that mean pagan is gone as well as the board?

I still can not understand Pagans logic why not put prendergast at CHB he is mobile and tall enough to play there can be any worse than what has been going on at present.

this would also whitnall to paly chf with waite next to him & lappin/houlihan etc on the other hff and kennedy at fp next to fev and betts crumbing off them ... ??

 

[hang the boots up pagan]

I heard that Prenda had a go at Pagan.

Pagan was saying to the team about the lack of backline players, Prenda cracked them and said basically he should be playing in the backline.

Dont know where you got your information from but this was not the case.
