Preview Finally - Sydney v Essendon (79 day wait is over)

[caesar88]

Lol here comes the almighty excuses

Not an excuse, Essendon are just sooks

 

[caesar88]

Horse is a conservative coach. He rarely takes risks or surprises anyone.

Ah yes the man who has debuted more guys over the last few years than any coach, who will probably run out this weekend with the second or third youngest side in the competition, who already has three teenagers in the 22, doesn't surprise anyone or take risks.

Gameplay wise, at least for the last number of years. The first three quarters of round 1 looked more attackimg so I hope that continues.

Wtf does gameplay have to do with Stephens' non-selection?

Interesting that we are such a s**t side apparently, until it's game time and then we're supposedly better than half the teams in the comp and should beat them.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Win or lose as long as we compete that's all I ask

interesting you went there?

i think we are an ordinary side (on the right Track) i think essendon are bottom 4

I don't think we're a s**t side, I think we're a young side. But a select few have consistently said we are s**t but then expect us to beat half the teams in the comp.

If you think Essendon are bottom four then fair enough.

Let's hope you're right. FWIW I am banking on the youth continuing to improve and hopefully netting us a few more wins than last year. I initially hoped we'd get four more wins and get double-digit wins this year but in a truncated season that might be a big ask.

Essendon are a borderline top 8 side while we finished bottom 4

2 Melbourne players have been suspended for Covid breaches, how dumb are AFL players?

 

[Jewelsbon]

I got two.

Did you reduce payments over the last few months, or aren't an 11-game member?

No I'm a full member plus premiership club, it just rolls over every year.
Club couldn't offer a reason either

Email went out to all 11 game tickets holders who didn't ask for a refund on this season's tickets. Get selected to be part of the SCG crowd on Sunday.

Oh right, thought you meant on here, but no I didn't. I don't go on my own... and I'd want to sit in my seat, with the usual crowd... it all adds to the experience.

Did you?

 

[Kirkswan]

Doesn't Hewett regularly smash Shiel?

Yes!

 

[Kirkswan]

I didn't get that

One of my friends didn't either, can't figure out why...

 

[Kirkswan]

Anyone else manage to get tickets?

Well done mate!

No offense, and you are 100% entitled to your opinion, but he is not a conservative a conservative coach.

And the whole taking risks and/or surprising people view, well that just shows that you have never coached (well) for any length of time (years/seasons).

Friend of mine has a platinum with premiership and didn't get an email either... we thought it must be because she's doing the pay monthly thing

That is all just weird.

Really interesting post.
This makes me feel pretty good about list direction, even if we lose buddy and Naismith we are still moving in the right direction. Though I really want a good ruckman right now

Looking forward till tomorrow, not liking the short quarters
