This circle jerk in the media about the bummers having "injuries" is sickening.

They're just poo and have been for longer than Hotton, Lalor, Smillie, Armstrong, Faull, Sims have been alive.

Maybe it's a blessing for them, some of these so called "best 22" who are injured are just turd. Should have been zero excuses for that drug cheating rabble
 
Anyone happy to guess how many times West Coast fans tell us their team playing this weekend is younger than ours?
Yeah … and tell ‘em it’s because future guns Lalor (18yo), Smillie (19yo), McCaullife (20yo), Alger (18yo) and Armstrong (19yo) aren’t playing… along with no Lynch, Balta, Gray, Gibcus or Lefau.

If they can’t beat us at home with the outs we have they never will.

My other post said he never could imagine that was going to be the outcome. Reverse the situation and have one of our best players do an ACL because of an unnecessary action by a bomber. We'd be baying for their blood. Look at the angst we have had against Hawkin's small push onto Soldo. It's still being mentioned.
I stand by my comments. It was an unnecessary action that resulted in a terrible injury to a footy player. I wish Mansell showed as much aggression in getting the actual ball and he'd be a far better player. As it is, he has been pretty average for most games this year. How many possessions did he get on Saturday for instance?
The softest thing I’ve read on here. He bumped him, my god it’s this kind of mentality that’s stuffed the game!
 
Team selection is getting very interesting at the backend of the year

Baltas curfew ending

Gibcus completing his VFL block

Smillie same as Gibcus

Armstrong Available now

Lynch will be available too

All would be best 22/23 if not for their circumstances
 
In: Alger, Armstrong, Blight
Out: Sonsie, Kosi, Sims

MRJ to sub. Tresize gets a full game in Sonsie's role. Blight plays Sims' 2nd ruck role.
dunno if weve seen james at hf have we? worth a crack, can take a grab and doesnt shirk a contest.
 
Can we for the love of god start adding some diversity to our centre bounce or even midfield? Can we give MJR and even hotton a roll through role like we used to give Shedda, bolton and others? Feel that we need some x factor around the pill and TT, Hopper, Prestia, Ross for the game gets stale.

Taranto, Hopper and Prestia all in the votes. That's when you know Essendon's midfield is horrible.

Richmond v Essendon​

10 Tim Taranto RICH
4 Jacob Hopper RICH
4 Archie Roberts ESS
3 Nick Vlastuin RICH
3 Jayden Short RICH
2 Zach Merrett ESS
2 Jordan Ridley ESS
1 Tom Brown RICH
1 Dion Prestia RICH

My bog Timmy T was outstanding
 
The gameplan fixes seem pretty simple though. Multiple times each quarter the corridor was completely undefended. Forward having leading patterns isn't mega complicated.
Taking the first option before the opposition get back to defend isn't complicated.

Those 3 things would help us immensely.
All good in theory but vs Essendon they had a 4-2 outnumber behind the ball at virtually all times.

Leading patterns I agree with... that forward craft and symmetry will come.

Centre corridor rarely had our guys running through there when we were bringing the ball out and a couple of times we tried it, we didn't execute the kick. A bit gun-shy at the moment.
