Preview Essendon vs GWS (all changes etc in here)

[mick7]

OUT: Fletcher (inj.), Hardingham (inj.), Heppell, Crameri (both rested)
IN: Pears, Myers, Colyer, Baguley (Sub)

 

[Windas_Magic]

Minimal changes for the next two weeks - We do have a bye in 4 weeks.

We have a lot of sore bodies with little niggles and with GWS and the Dees in the next two games we'd be stupid not to take advantage of that.

Id expect Fletcher, Watson, Crameri, Melksham and Hardigham/Heppell all to be given a break in one of the next two games. Not all in the same game but spread them across the two.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Out: Fletcher, Dempsey
In: Pears, Slattery (tagger - assuming Davis is still struggling with that ankle)

You just couldn't help yourself, could you? :lol:

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Davis would be my first choice, but my impression is he's injured.

 

[footysage]

Important we don't get too complacent:

Important we don't get too complacent:

I bet you the media will play on this and make it a much bigger issue than it needs to be this week and how "cocky" we are.

A simple technical glitch.

AN embarrassing website blunder could add even more spice to Kevin Sheedy's first coaching showdown against former club Essendon next week.

 

[SirJimi05]

Odds (forecasted by me because the forecasting website sucks) Essendon: $1.04 GWS: $8.00

And you don't?

 

[Coopster09]

Kav,Colyer,Remo,Pears r a must this week would say for melksham,fletch,crameri,hardingham. Love Hirdy conviniently saying time to freshen up the team this coming week (GWS)

 

[Slappery]

Out: Fletcher, Hardingham, Crameri, Melksham
In: Reimers, Pears, Colyer, Slattery

This could be pretty close..not sure if Crameri will be rested. If Hardingham is "rested" i don't think Slatts will be brought in to play back, will need a another defender is that is the case.

already been mentioned on MMM...

 

[BomberTime]

Out: Fletcher, Heppell, Watson
In: Pears, Colyer, Kavanagh(sub)

Dyson Carlisle Pears
Dempsey Hooker Hardingham
Colyer Lonergan Stanton
Crameri Hurley Zaharakis
Davey Ryder Jetta
Bellchambers Hocking Howlett
Melksham NLM Monfries Kavanagh (sub)

3 changes is enough and we can rest Stanton or Hocking against the Dees, possibly Dempsey or Hardingham may be rested. Dont think Myers can come straight back into the team not having played in 6 weeks.

Really want to see Kavangh and has a bit of form behind him.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

the way gws are going at the minute, it would be wise to rest one or two, they look seriously woeful atm. theyre being shredded by merrett and jonno brown

 

[Macca18]

A mediocre Brisbane are a lazy 16 goals in front of GWS with 7 minutes to go in the final quarter...

 

[Call Me Cake]

OUT: Fletcher (inj), Lonergan (stiff), Melksham (rest), NLM (rest)
IN: Pears, Gumbleton, Colyer, Kavanagh

FB: Hardingham, Pears, Carlisle
HB: Dempsey, Hooker, Heppell
C: Stanton, Watson, Zaharakis
HF: Jetta, Gumbleton, Crameri
FF: Monfries, Hurley, Davey
R: Ryder, Hocking, Howlett
I/C: Bellchambers, Colyer, Dyson

SUB: Kavanagh

I want a percentage booster.

 

[Macca18]

IN: Pears, Gumbleton, Colyer, Kavanagh

HF: Jetta, Gumbleton, Crameri

Dick Reynolds is a bigger chance to play this weekend than Gumbleton.

 

[pazza]

Out: Fletcher, Hardingham, Crameri, Melksham
In: Reimers, Pears, Colyer, Slattery

B: Slattery, Carlisle, Pears
HB: Dempsey, Hooker, Heppell
C: Stanton, Watson, Zaharakis
HF: Jetta, Ryder, Monfries
F: Davey, Hurley, Reimers
R: Bellchambers, Hocking, Howlett
Int: Dyson, Lonergan, Lovett-Murray, Colyer (Sub)

 

[Bombers36]

I hope we rest a few. Id have:

OUT: Fletch, Crameri, Hocking, Heppell
IN: Pears, Colyer, Slattery, McVeigh


Pears Hooker Slattery
Hardingham Carlisle Dempsey
Dyson Watson Melksham
Monfries Hurley Jetta
Colyer Ryder Davey

T.Bell Stanton Zaka

Bench: Howlett Lonergan NLM
SUB: McVeigh

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Hardingham is a certainty to be rested alongside Fletch, and Crameri deserves a rest alongside Jobe.

But thats a big slice of the pie.

 

[Godzke]

Out: Fletcher, Watson, Hardingham
In: Myers, Hibberd (if fit), Kav?

Tell Stanton not to try too hard.

 

[ManWithNoName]

It's round 8. Why the bloody hell does anyone apart from Fletch need a rest?

Ridiculous. How'd resting players work out for Carlton?

 

[eth-dog]

And you don't?

Of course. But the forecasting website is worse

 

[stugots]

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/a/Video:-Hird---Bruising-encounter-takes-toll/9283

Essendon coach James Hird says the club's 19-point victory over Richmond took a heavy toll on his players, and a number of them are likely to be missing from the Bombers' side that takes on Greater Western Sydney at Skoda Stadium next weekend.

 

[yaco55]

Dont think we need to make many changes - One or two that are injury enforced - We have a bye in 4 weeks !

Counter-point: How'd resting players work out for Geelong last year?

Nothing wrong with resting a handful of players over the next couple of weeks if it'll help our performance against Sydney
