ESS vs ADEA Official game thread!!!

[The D-ROD]

its finally here!!! im excited lads... will be a thrill to see the likes of lloyd, hird, lucas, fletcher back in the same team....

add the excitement of monfries, stanton, davey and co. and IMO we will be competitive....hope we give it a red hot go...

un4tunetly i wont be able to see it live...i have a footy practice tournament to play in...but i will enjoy the replay (and hopefully some good posts on here) to get me up to speed later on!

my prediction: head says - adea by 21pts
heart says - ess by 9pts - Lloyd 5 goals BOG: B.Stanton

GO DONS!

2 hours and 42 minutes to the first bounce.
I'm excited. We will give them a decent shake up there.
Too bad it isn't on channel 10 today, we get W.B Vs Geelong. Fantastic...
Is Johns playing for us?

Is Johns playing for us?

Nope.

Good thing it isnt on FTA because it wouldn't be live.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Nope.

Do you know where i can get the official team?
Can't seem to find it on the AFL Website.
Thanks.

Is Jobe definitely playing, Longy ?

Heard a whisper he could be a late withdrawal.

 

[Longy413]

Got no idea, haven't heard anything myself.

I think if there was a real danger of someone missing they wouldn't have played all our emergencies yesterday. I know Bolts went off at half time, but I doubt they'd have taken that risk if someone was a big chance to miss.

Unless something has happened in the last 24 hours.

Bolton not playing the 2nd half leads me to think there could be a late change.
Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Watson should be playing...
He's certainly in our best 22. and havn't heard anything about him not playing.

 

[Boris_Bewick]

The only reason he might not play would be if he wasn't fit.

He's in our best 10 let alone 22

I think that's Adelaide time, so allow half an hour for a 1.10 start.

[mattdavies_03]

good first quarter, disposal from some of the backline is letting us down. Some good signs however from gus and stanton. Also good to see Lloyd get into the action and get a goal early
