Hey guys so I got canned for posting this on the crows board but the pies board appreciated it so I thought I'd let you guys know about it. There's this new footy talk show and they. Go through Essendon's changes and stuff this week. Link is :

Really rated their analysis. Not sure on their 22 but you guys would be more well versed than me on that!

Here's the side they put up.

B: Fletcher, Carlisle, Dempsey
HB: Heppell, Hurley, Hibberd

C: Zaharakis, Watson, Goddard

HF: Hardingham, Ryder, Winderlich
F: Jetta, Daniher, Crameri

Foll: Bellchambers, Stanton, Hocking

I/C: Melksham, Howlett, Baguley
Sub: Lovett-Murray

Emg: Myers, Colyer, Hille



Fairly reasonable, although Hardingham at HFF?
I'd move Jetta there and put Davey in the Forward Pocket.
I guess they felt like they had to have an outlandish opinion on one player.

Not too bad, I didn't agree with their best 22 or their opinion on Matthew Knights, but over all it was pretty good. They seemed like Essendon fans TBH.

Out of interest, do you guys see yourselves as finishing top 4 this year? Personally thought that was a bit ambitious but I suppose you were the unbeatable top team in the league until the Melbourne game..

If everything goes right, we could. Though having said that, rarely does everything go right.

The general expectation of most seems to be to win a final this year, obviously the higher we finish the better but as long as we win a final.

I see finishes anywhere between the top 4 and #10 as equally likely given the evenness of the competition this year. It all depend on injuries really. On our day we can give ******* good sides a scare but I still see our list as being somewhat inconsistent. If we can regain the form we showed at the beginning of last season and keep it up for the whole year we're a chance at the flag.

Myers not in the team. Hardy in the forward line. Bags in the best 22. Hurley bulked up, which is wrong 100 percent. Anthony Long with his off field problems comment. Comments that Daniher will slot in a full forward straight away.
Cool :)
I agree with all of that, they appear to know our side, just not the stuff that proper fans know.
