Game Day Match Discussion: Round 7 vs. Essendon Sat 25/04 at 3:15pm (MCG) ANZAC Day

[unplugged]

JDG in for Hayes. Hayes looked like started to believe a bit at the end, but you're backing Jordy in to give us more if he's ready.

Sidebottom in for Allan.

Leave Moore out for another week... and a big watch this space: Will they shift back to Bruz for the captaincy with a big speech on the line?

 

[Bianconeri]

Out: Allan
In: Sidebottom

I’d leave De Goey out for another week as well

Apparently JDG might not play next week given that he’s had multiple concussions.

 

[Peters_Nuts]

This is tough.

I think Steele needs a spell. Sidebottom comes in for him.

If JDG is fit then who knows. I think we have to keep Hayes in. His speed inside 50 was very good.

 

[whiskeytown]

Keep Hayes in if possible… grew as the game went on. That momentum might carry over next week

Out Allan
In Sidebottom for his last Anzac Day clash

Otherwise I’d like to see Parker or Ryan get a go… keep playing youth so as to sort the wheat from chaff

 

[satty]

If swadling has a good performance, get Ed Allan the hell out of this side.

Only bring in sidebottom because this could/should be his last anzac day match .

After that, have to prioritize someone like swadling over giving game time to sidebottom, as harsh as that sounds.

 

[footballsack35]

Going to be a tough one.
The only one who can comfortably come out is Allan.
As much as I love Hayes I think Sidebottom is a must for what is likely his last Anzac day match.
Out Allan, Hayes, Membrey
In Sidebottom, JDG, West

 

[Run n Spread]

In West Swadling Jiath Degoey Harrison Saxena Smit
Out McReery Membrey Elliot (rest) Howe (rest) Pendles (rest) Crisp (rest) Cameron (rest)
Given its Essendon before a tough block of games id be looking to manage a few older blokes and ensure they are fresh for rest 8-10 which will determine if we are going to challenge.

I will not drop Hayes, he should be in to add some goal sneak sense to the forward line. I'd drop Schultz.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Sidey for Steele
Hill for Hayes
Traffic cone for Allan

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Out: Membrey, Allan
In: JDG/West, Sidebottom

I think they’ll hold JDG back.

Sidey for Steele
Hill for Hayes

Quite hilarious how someone would think Hill would bypass VFL

Surely you’re having a laugh.

Next week is one of the only times, except for Gather Round, where Essendon aren’t pushovers.

Membrey sucks, Allan sucks, Lipinski sucks but admittedly did some good things late

In: People who havent sucked yet

 

[nahnah]

oh i forgot, Long sucks. Thanks post above me for the reminder.

 

[Tista7000]

Out Ed & Membrey
In: Sidey & West

 

[Mkcaptain]

No one rating Buller a chance ahead of West? I'd love Westy to get a chance at some stage but Buller was named emergency ahead of him (if that's relevant to the pecking order?)

If Membrey is getting a rest I'd be very happy to see either of them.

Not dropping Nick after he was BOG...

He's just about the only one the poster isn't resting!

Spot on.

 

[carndapies]

Out: Hayes
In: Sidebottom

Out: Allan
In: De Goey

I think McRae will go with a conservative option and Allan seems to be the player that is in and out of the side filling in gaps when another mid is out. Hayes is still 12 months from being physically ready to play in the seniors. Had some good passages in the second half though which was promising.

Lipinski has been awful this year but last night he was one of the best players on the ground , 27 touches 1 goal and actually put his body on the line a few times , gotta give credit when it's due

It was the ideal Lipinski game. Good territory gain and ball use (mostly), involved in scores, and took some hits.
