Changes vs Hawthorn

[Wahooti Fandango]

Bradley and Gumby cant play this week. Neither are mobile enough to counter the Hawks running backline.

Good point. Maybe bring in Houli (or Jetta if fit) to play forward and drop Kep along with Gumby (with Fletch to replace Gumby). The Hawks run out of defence is better than the Crows and they really hurt us today.

Agree we will have to look at injecting some running players to try and counter that run!

Lonergan could be a chance Lovett's gotta come back in and Sheeds could pull a rabbit out of his hat and chose Jetta

In: Fletcher, Lovett, Houli

Bring in JJ. He teared up the VFL. Way to good for it

play gumby. drop bradley.

until houli learns to attack the footy he should stay in the twos.

Agree with that.

 

[Lovett Lover 13]

Definetly no Hird next week?

when will we see the great man in action again?

 

[BomberAce7]

IN
Fletcher - Assuming he's injury isn't that bad.
Houli - Has been contributing in Bendigo for a while now, should replace Gumbleton.

IN
Kepler - Fk off, delist him!
Gumbleton - Firstly, congratulations on your debut. But needs more time at Bendigo.

Cant argue with that!!! Kepler you are shocking!!!

 

[marcuz]

Jetta should be considered, we need somebody at the feet of Lloyd and co. His defensive pressure would also be welcomed.

Is gus out a balance selection? I thought he was good value especially in the last quarter.

No Duckworth isnt ok, he seems f***** up!!! Mcphee was excellent today & Pev was BOG IMO! After 4 years nobody even Kepler himself knows his best position! Leave him at Bendigo & our new coach will give him his marching orders!!!

Doubt he'll get up unfortunately.

I just thought a few bad habits started creeping back in, he was lazy early but his work rate did lift. But a number of times he led to the wrong spots, he really needs to lose that from his game.

Reimers can give us some spark and carry.

 

[RED AND BLACK SOLDIER]

In: Fletcher/Johns (if Fletch isn't right), Lonergan
Out: Bradley, Monfries

Why did Fletch miss the game?

 

[marcuz]

****..I'd love to see a fully fit jetta and Dempsey in that side, they would have broken that game open today.

I think Gus and the essendon coaching staff are still trying to work out his best position. He needs to find some tricks next year and become really good at something instead of being average at a few things.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Reimers get a game. Sheeds seems to want to see all the kids gets ome games under their belts before the year is out.

Lovett ?

Otherwise wouldn't mind giving Reimers a run.

Lovett ?

I thought he was going to miss 2-3 weeks with an AC sprain.

Don't think we'll see Dempsey for a few weeks either.

I think Gus and the essendon coaching staff are still trying to work out his best position. He needs to find some tricks next year and become really good at something instead of being average at a few things.

I think he's got some class about him, he just needs to lose a bit of selfishness that's crept into his game. The thing we keep in mind, he's been fast-tracked in terms of games played because of injuries and our win-loss ration. Had he joined Essendon circa 2000-2003 he might have only played 10-15 games in his first 2-3 years.

Lovett ?

I think Lovett needs to earn a game.

I'd wrap him up in cotton wool until pre-season. Guys who do their hamstings more than once in a year tend to do them again. Let the muscle get back to 100% by letting him put his feet up.

Wouldn't mind giving Reimers a run but Lonergan should be given a run in Monfries role first imo. Reimers might get the nod for the fact he has a bit of pace.
