🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

or maybe i could pin my hopes to players like campo or michaels thats the way to develop young players...........

im going back to my board now but will watch essendon with much interest as they slowly implode next year. As I said you guys are in for a world of pain over the next 5 years or so

Campo who was brought in as a depth player? Or Michael who has been fantastic in developing the kids such as Ryder. I woudl say having competent senoir players helping our them is the way to develop young players. Of course it's not an option with Richmond unfortunately.

Richmond supporters :rolleyes: not everyone is crap like your team. Culture of mediocrity Vs Culture of success.

Easy

yeah we sure do hang all our hopes on a player who hasnt played more then half of this year and a player who wouldnt have been in our top 12 players this year

you juts picked to players who we have no reliance on whatsoever,, you really know your footy
 
10-11 blokes in the side that are either 21 and under or less than 50 games experience.

That sounds pretty ****ing young to me.

Lucas, Lloyd, Fletcher, Michael aren't 19 either. Get rid of them?

Why bother playing Hird, he won't be there next year.

They are in our best longy, you know that aswell. Campo and mj arent, they also arent contracted for next year and a small chance to be there. Have a feeling that Lucas, Lloyd, Fletcher and Michael will be.

Why houli and watson dont get a game is beyond me.

Hird trained well today and now a big chance to play
 
Why do all the whingers who want to play the kids then complain about how the selections will have cost su the game. We have brought in the guys who played best in the VFL. Campo and MJ by all accounts were terrific. How does bringing in more kids who haven't played as well mean we are more likely to win? please enlighten me Bombs Away. Sheedy has selected the team most likely to win, so either decide if you want to tank and play kids or that you want to win.

Farrrk .. lets recruit Chad Liddell and Ezra Poyas then :thumbsu:

They've proven they aren't up to AFL standard.

Campo was good when he was in the seniors, got injured and performed to earn his spot back.

Mark Johnson just about won us a game off his own boot, played a stinker, went to the VFL and did everything that was asked of him.

It's not like we're playing the likes of Bolton, these guys deserve their spot. We're a better side for having Campo in particular in the 22.

I think Macpie shows more reasoned opinoins about essendon than you do. How do you want to select our team then? WHy woudln't you take the guys who play bets in the 2nds? Just because someone is under 21 doesn't mean they shoudl get a game. At the moment Cmap and MJ will be of more sue to use than Houli 99% of the time. You are the guy who said play Lee despite his form so dont worry I'm not expecting a convincing or logical repsonse from you.

Campo and MJ are proven NON PERFORMERS on big grounds.

MJ has basically played stinkers all year
with the odd goodish game.

Campo has had half a good game at the Dome and been irrelevant in other games.

You know there's a reason why we are bottom 4 AGAIN.

Maybe they are saving us from the spoon then?

I guess with your reasoned logic we should have selected Mark Bolton ahead of Reimers then. :thumbsu:

Heck lets give Heff a game and drop Nash or Gumby or Monfries or Lovett or Slatts or .....

Unless we lose all three games we won't be bottom four.

Campo runs the corridor, he actually forces us to go straighter.
He's played one game at the G and we won it.

Hawthorn game aside, I don't think Mark Johnson has been that bad and I do hope he's played forward.

A special thanks goes out to Jobe Watson for his game that night.

Bolton hasn't been killing VFL so irrelevant point. Why was playing Reimers accepted as teh right move? He got 6 or 7 touches and we got belted, maybe if we had played someone else they may have had mroe impact adn we coudl've won. Then we wouldn't have had to put up with you whinging about "ohhhwe aren't a bottom 4 side, but i still want to tank"

Haha you really battle with winnign an argument on its merits dont you. You're changing your point. I'm saying Campo and MJ played better in the VFL than Houli. Do you dispute that? Houli also played better than Heff. So Houli would be ahead of Heff yet behind Campo and MJ. If Heff was dominating in the VFL to the same degree as Campo and MJ did, and there was a spot for him because someone was not performing well enough, then yes play Heff. Try to use sense rather than hyperbole next time champ.

Heff has been poor at VFL level, Campo and MJ haven't.

You're bad at this.

Heff has not been poor at VFL level. He's been one of the best in the past few weeks. He's one of the few that look like the can play at AFL level.

Campo has barely laid a tackle at VFL level and hasn't been very accountable. Cheap possi king.

MJ had one good game at VFL after a shocking year in the seniors. He's surplus to requirements and should retire or told to retire.

Your good at making pointless arguments :thumbsu:

Do you see a spot for Campo and MJ in the side next year?

Your good at changing your mind to suit your argument at any point in time especially after the fact.

No mention of Campo and MJ in this post:

Hird and Hocking for Dyson and Laycock works for me.

I'd also be tempted to give Mal the rest of the season off and extend the Johns at FB experiment to AFL level.

Time to get p**ssed and wallow in another year or sub standard rubbish.

I'm convinced you either know little about footy or haven't seen anything of Bendigo and you're making your judgement based on the "attempt at increasing trade value column" otherwise known as "VFL best players."

Your good at changing your mind to suit your argument at any point in time especially after the fact.

Haven't changed my tune at all.
Hird and Hocking happened, and Hille went out instead of Laycock.

I made the presumption Peverill would be safe and didn't expect him to be dropped, but don't have a problem with him being omitted. Watson has obviously been dropped for reasons other than form so again he wasn't rated a mention at the time.

With those two out, I'd pick two of Campo, MJ or JJ. With JJ not playing last week, that leaves two options.

Do you see a spot for Campo and MJ in the side next year?

MJ yes, Campo no.

Do I think Campo's inclusion can benefit Reimers, Hocking and co? Yes.

We all know he really loves Essendon. He posts more about the dons then the pies!
