Essendon vs Freo

[hulld]

Fremantle
Backs: Hayden Parker Grover
Half-backs: Mundy McPharlin Headland
Centres: Solomon J Carr McManus
Half-forwards: Hasleby Pavlich Bell
Forwards: Peake Tarrant Longmuir
Followers: Sandilands M Carr
Rover: Crowley
Interchange: From: Browne Campbell Duffield Gilmore Murphy Walker Webster

In: M Carr Gilmore Campbell Webster
Out: Dodd (suspended)

it's good for us that black isn't playing and if bell plays he will be nowhere near 100%.

The Essendon Team:

B: McVeigh Michael Ryder
HB: Slattery Fletcher McPhee
C: Monfries Hird Stanton
HF: Lovett Lucas M. Johnson
F: Watson Lloyd Welsh
Foll: Hille Winderlich Peverill
Inter: Bradley Davey Dyson Jetta Laycock Lovett-Murray Heffernan

Looks a good side. For one of the first times ever Sheeds told the truth about who might come into the side. I would think we'll go in unchanged.

 

[angus6]

no change needed. the only player we may struggle with is sandilands but his dispossal last week was poor and his opponent was BOG. I have faith in hille and bradley to atleast break even around the ground.

 

[dave_27]

If I remember correctly Hille has always managed Sandilands pretty well in our previous meetings?

 

[ant555]

baaaa Bradley out baaaaaaa



Just thought i would get in before all the sheep come along

 

[hulld]

if laycock is fit he should be picked. he will be an important part of our team this year so we may as well play him as soon as he is ready.

if kepler goes out for laycock it means that we lose a wingman. therefore i reckon dyson would come in to replace -lov-murray.

so imo there will either be:
NO CHANGES
or
2 changes

Im thinking 2 changes, laycock for kepler (YESSSS!!!!) and Dyson for someone, not exactly sure who, but all i know is that IMO Laycock and Dyson should be included. Who do you guys think should lose their spot for Dyson?

 

[hulld]

if dyson is to play it would have to be lov-murray.
davey will play
jetta would be very stiff not to play
he could still kepler's spot if laycock doesn't play

i wouldn't be surprised if they gave him one more game for bendigo so that he can prove he can be consistent

 

[ant555]

Backs: Jolley Lee Flaherty
Half Backs: O'Keefe Chartres Rosa
Centres: Dyson Houli Bowe
Half Forwards: Neagle Johns Carter
Forwards: Gumbelton Connaughton Heffernan
Rucks: McKinnon Bolton Lonergan
Bench: Dillon, Bradley, Laycock, Lovett-Murray, Davey, Jetta, Maher


This is the Bendigo lineup. Dont read too much into the bench as they always play a lot of ducks and drakes like naming players that are on the ground in the Essendon side on the Bench.

 

[hulld]

it's not a good sign that campo wasn't named

 

[go_the_bombers]

Properly given him 1 more week before playing him in the 2nd's

 

[hulld]

he played a half for bendigo last week

 

[ant555]

Unuaual given he has trained ok so far this week. I guess i will be having a look tommorrow morning to see what he is up to. The only other thing i can think of is how many Essendon listed players we can play against Tassie as they are only semi aligned to an AFL club.If there is a restriction he may be having a run in the two's.

I think you can only play 12 AFL listed players in the VFL i'm not too sure!


Campo could of been named in the Bendigo Reserve team

 

[hulld]

hopefully that is that case

I'm pretty sure theres only a limit of 12 during the finals.

 

[ant555]

It is 12 AFL listed players for the finals and against the non aligned sides (Frankston,Port Melb etc).We can play as many as we want against aligned sides. The only question i have is i am not sure what rule applies against Tassie and Nth Ball as they share the North listed players.

 

[ant555]

This is the side according to the Bendigo web site.



B Lee Chartres Maher
HB O'Keefe Bolton Reimers
C Rosa Houli Bowe
HF Gumbleton Johns Lonergan
F Flaherty Neagle Carter
R McKinnon Jolley Camporeale
Int Laycock Heffernan Bradley
Dyson Connaughton Bowles
Maddern Dillon

I dont know why they continue to play silly buggers on the Essendon site as far as the Bendigo side goes.

I think they like to keep people guessing as to who's in the side.

So from this it seems it's safe to assume that Jetta, Davey and Lovett-Murray are all definately going to be in the side.

He's a significantly better player than he was 12 months ago.

 

[warney7]

he played a half for bendigo last week

Why would you play a guy, in an AFL side, which apparently has a lot of competition for spots when he's come back from an Achilles injury and only managed one half in a VFL practice match?

 

[hulld]

i was referring to the fact that he wasn't named for bendigo

 

[warney7]

Ah ok, yeah that makes more sense.

Maybe he just didn't pull up very well.

No need to rush him I guess, we have plenty of quality players in line.
Shouldn't have to play Bolton all year!

 

[Casey]

I'm just stocked that i get to see a bombers game on TV
WA sucks for TV scheduling

 

[hulld]

are you getting the game live or delayed???
