[fishardansin]

Young Danihers against Carl$cum ....

 

[bomberswarm2]

gAD zUKES? A massive offer for a Bombers player?
Please let it be Pears...

 

[Halftimehero]

What exactly does a rolled ankle have to do with a vendetta history of back and hamstring injuries?

Injured, dropped , rested what next?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Injured, dropped , rested what next?

Probably a return to the team, and plenty of marks and goals.

I really hope this happens but I doubt it will

 

[Ben the Gooner]

I really hope this happens but I doubt it will

That's a relief. If you don't think it'll happen it's much more likely.

 

[astrowizzle]

Must be on the old don't drop kids after one game to preserve their confidence.

dont afford Jetta, PEars that luxury.

Care to elaborate??

 

[Vander18]

dont afford Jetta, PEars that luxury.

Experienced players so the theory doesn't apply I guess...FWIW I think Jetta stiff to miss for Hams.

 

[Doss]

Guys, please cut it out.

 

[Zach Package]

i think we need a banter thread for infighting

 

[VelvetSledge]

i think we need a banter thread for infighting

We have one! It's called the Essendon board

 

[fishardansin]

Surely Hardingham is coming in for Hams ..... or are Essendon going to set either Goddard or Heppell up behind the ball to distribute it?

 

[Keystone agony]

surely if you're in the 22 you're justified a start.

you're not going to pick someone as a sub on the proviso that they're not good enough to start, not fit enough maybe, but you pick a 22 then pick a sub from there IMO

A start = first 21

 

[Red Black and Blue]

We don't want it distributed to the opposition.

 

[nipst@r]

Is it possible to just rock up at the gate and get general admission tickets tomorrow night?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Glad Jetta was punted. Very surprised that TBC was dropped/rested, but he did look VERY tired last week,so a rest won't do him harm, it is a long season!

 

[rines]

V excited to see the Derp arrive..

However I don't understand how Hams gets his spot ahead of Jetta or even Merrett...

Winderlich hasn't done much, nor Melksham, but it appears they don't have to worry about selection pressure... like ever.

Stick a fork in Jetta.. he is done. Whatever he did to piss off TRB in the offseason is officially huge. Killed his confidence and he just looks a shadow of what he was last season and what he appeared to be heading towards.

Wouldn't be surprised if he stinks it up at VFL level for the rest of the year and heads for greener pastures.

Not sure about this team at all.. but it is good enough to win it.. if we have the right attitude and offensive game plan.

Derp's inclusion adds yet another layer of excitement for the block buster. Can't wait!

Essendon to win by 2pts.

 

[Nifft]

Great to see Daniher get a start, hope he does really well in his first game.

Considering both TBC and Gumby are out, who will be the backup ruckman if Ryder goes down?

Hooker.

 

[eth-dog]

Or Carlisle. Swap one with Hurley.

 

[yaco55]

Tbell dropped or rested - Mentioned that his form has dropped away. I am happy to trial Ryder as the sole ruckman with either Gumby/Daniher giving a chop out in the ruck. Would like the selectors to give this a run for 4 weeks.

We seem to be one small defender short - I expect Melksham to play back - Has shown enough to say that he can blanket an opposition player.

 

[The_Wookie]

Not bantering, has presents if ok - last nights tv previews

 

[vaughany]

Who do you really barrack for sneakyjetta?

 

[The Edukator]

Why is his name Derp?
