Preview Round 10: Essendon vs Greater Western Sydney, Carrara, Friday 07/08/2020 @ 7:50 PM

[Tang]

100%. I'd rather see Guelfi who bleeds for the game, get a crack.


Homesickness lol.... he's an adult, isnt he? he's not a 14 yr old kid on school camp...

Grow up, you're getting 400k a year to play a game.

this sort of attitude is why mens mental health is such a shitshow. think before you speak please

 

[Sockeye]

Learnings from training today.

1. Joey has a ripping double hand backhand and should take up tennis.
2. Tippa is crap in slips and should probably field at mid wicket.
3. The boys are having a nice relaxing winter holiday in sunny Queensland where most Victorians probably wish they were.
4. Perhaps we should do a Queensland 'hub' every winter.
5. The boys wouldn't need thymosin shots to boost their immunity as we would avoid the winter flu season in Vic. (Not sure about the windy hill flu though, I think that can strike anywhere).
6. Since coming to Essendon Caracella has a lot more grey hair, which is not surprising.

[Kakkle]

In: Langford, McKenna, McKernan, Guelfi

Out: Cahill (omitted), Ham (omitted), Gleeson (omitted), Bellchambers (managed)




Back to making Guelfi a thing. Sick!


I love how a club like Port Adelaide will have no issue with omitting guys like SPP, Wines, Westhoff, Rockcliff, and we still won't put (omitted) for an experienced player.

 

[BomberTime]

Zaka still not dropped, after woeful performances and a short turnaround at his age.

He’s going to play every game until he wants to retire.

Acceptance.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Oh my god they dropped Bellchambers. Never thought I’d see the day.

 

[eth-dog]

Understandable changes. McKenna forward?

 

[CBombers17]

Good ins. Why cone out and say stuff about Mckenna though? Rev up?

 

[Colonelmot]

I like the changes. Maybe we can stay within 30pts?

 

[R t james]

If I was an emergency this friday I’d be ready , just in case someone doesn’t feel like it today

 

[Falcon27]

Would rather get a game into either Ham or Cahill regardless of form rather then Zaka.

Just cant bare to watch him continually run around half arsed and scared.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Understandable changes. McKenna forward?

I hope so. Guelfi also kicked two, why not try it out.

 

[Lore]

He was asked a direct question about McKenna in a press conference. Shiel was also asked about him on radio.

 

[Lore]

Understandable changes. McKenna forward?

Trained with the forwards in captain's run, and obviously played forward in the scratch match as well. So probably!

Ham and Cahill needed a rest IMO.

Agree with playing youth in front of Zaka though. Would have liked to see Mutch come in. Maybe in the coming weeks.

Surely last chance for Zaka to perform?

Apart from that not bad changes. Expect to see a bit of rotation for the rest of the year.

 

[Vander18]

That’s it for Dylan Clarke I reckon - pretty clear the new regime aren’t prepared to pick him.

Named as emergency so not off the radar at all IMO.

 

[Sockeye]

Would have liked to see Clarke in on the ball, Merrett to Zaka's hff, and Zaka 'managed'.

Otherwise, it is a much better team than we fielded last week.

 

[Bjchan13]

Pretty happy with the changes

 

[JT_the_Man]

So, is Guelfi or McKenna playing forward?

Fair enough on them maybe needing a rest, but Zaka is offering absolutely nothing at present. Even give Mozzie a run with 5-7 minutes per quarter to get a taste of it, cant be any worse then Zaka's current contribution.

 

[Mikevk123]

Hibberd and Clarke should be in.

Agreed.

Nope, "managed".
