It does look interesting on paper.

H. Shaw and O'Brien will be very stiff, but I am sure they will get other opportunities at some stage.

The game, itself, will be huge. I really will enjoy watching Anzac Day this year, for two reasons;

1. Both teams are in good form.
2. Collingwood have all their guns in.

On paper, we should win comfortably, but Essendon on Anzac Day - it doesn't get much tougher than that.

The key for us is, Josh Fraser. If he can dominate the ruck contests and chip in with two or three goals, I think we may be winners. Anthony Rocca and Chris Tarrant have to be on song too.

This is the 'game of the home and away fixture'. Collingwood and Essendon look down at the rest. Lets hope the Pies take home the all important four points...
Go Pies!

no first gamers oh well hopefully its a good game and we thrash them.
Burns should be in but seriously you cant drop anyone for him maybe shaw but i'd like to see him keep his spot in the team he's doing a fair job.
Burns needs to play though

 

[dids4]

presti is in, 100%.

therefore im thinking;

IN: S.Pretigiacomo, S.Burns
OUT: H.O'Brien, H.Shaw

whilst it sucks that those two lads have to miss out, as was said earlier - they'll get stacks more chances over the coming weeks.

also im thinking presti and burns are fairly solid players to replace them.

 

[croation-sensation]

dids do you think it would be worth letting o'brien stay in the team and maybe dropping or resting wakes because harry would be faster and run out the game better

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I really think that we need to make room for Ben Davies - He's simply way too good for Williamstown level, and he'll fit in perfectly with our gameplan, as he's not only good at winning the ball, but he's quick, adept at finding space and always quick and reasonably effective with his disposal.

 

[guess_who]

Gee Looking at that bench, players will be very stiff to find them selves playing in the magoos. I think minimal change, but I think you can't have Burns playing in the magoos, so he must come in for mine.

I wouldn't drop H.Shaw at any cost.
Remembering that clement and Lonie are under some what of an injury clowd, I'll say both will play, I wouldn't be surprised even though the willie game is today and the real stuff is on tuesday if Collingwood keep one completely fit player up their sleve that is, one emergency won't play for willie.

I also read with interest that R.Shaw was named for willie!!! Unless I have been asleep for a while, this will be his first real game back if he plays ressies or VFL seniors. Good luck too him.

Having said that, I'd have a look at the need for both Presti and Wakelin in the same team, with Lloyd not likely to play.

It is very hard to find room for Burns, but I think he must be in especially for Anzac day. There are a lot of players who I'd rather play magoos ahead of Burns.

I would not at all be surprised if we go in unchanged, unless we are forced to make a change.

In: Presti, Burns
Out: Obrien, ???

Very hard to work out the 22, which is a very good problem to have. Time will tell the make up of the team.

[magpies42]

o'brien will definetly sit out the match, i dont who will miss for davies, but given that he didnt play for willi id say he will be a certain starter.

 

[Statistician]

Is Thomas definetely not playing, as posted in the dream team thread?

 

[Dogga88]

o'brien will definetly sit out the match, i dont who will miss for davies, but given that he didnt play for willi id say he will be a certain starter.

Hope Davies plays, I think he'll turn out a very good player for you guys.

 

[Warrack Eagles]

Good Luck all you magie peoples Go the mighty bombers even without llyody we will flog the magies. One to watch paddy ryder = Star

Bombers

 

[JuddyisGod]

will Thomas play?

 

[bradrowe#32]

will Thomas play?

I haven't heard anything, but I think he will. He didn't play in the VFL over the weekend and I don't think he will be 'rested' for a week.

I'd like Davies to make the final cut. MM is a bit fan and I think he has potential.

 

[DaSawx]

Campo's out now

 

[JuddyisGod]

edit :wrong thread.

 

[HorseHead]

Campo's out now

Injured or dropped?

 

[rychenroller]

Injured or dropped?

Injured...hammy

 

[Cangaru]

Ok so Lica will take hird which I think is the danger and on Bucks? J.Johnson, what about Fletcher on Rocca is another key! I would think if whoever is one bucks or visa versa on Hird and they come out even on both match ups then we will have to rely on the forwards Rocca and Tarrant and even didak! For Essendon?? Lucas, Lovett-Murray, M Johnson, Monfries, Ryder. Who out of these could pose a danger? According to stats maybe Monfries, and again Hird. Hmmm!!! Seems to me stop Hird we win, is that a fair comment??? He gets possesions and also kicks goals!!

Canga!!
