Preview Round 11: Gold Coast vs Essendon, Carrara, Wednesday 12/08/2020 @ 7:10 PM

[eth-dog]

Lemmens plays fwd. Think Flanders will play more mid and Swallow will have a rest fwd.

Ah, fair enough.

 

[JuniorWatch]

Ah, fair enough.

Keeping track of positional changes in footyfest is almost impossible. And i also might be wrong about Swallow

I didn't even realise he was still on their list until I saw him in their side last week.

 

[Milanista28]

Zaharakis is our captain tonight.

 

[eth-dog]

Zaharakis is our captain tonight.

No, Shiel is.

 

[Milanista28]

No, Shiel is.

Oh thank god

 

[owen87]

Zaharakis is our captain tonight.

Amusing, but not true thankfully!

 

[owen87]

Amusing, but not true thankfully!

Although looking at this game where Zaharakis would have been Captain... maybe we should

40 is a lot of disposals for David

40 is a lot of disposals for David

I’m convinced

Captain Zaka is the answer

 

[BuffDog]

Keen to see how the backline fares without the experience of Hooker or Hurley. I have the most faith in Ridley though Francis will need to step up as the ‘more experienced’ player.

regardless, Hooker and Hurls won’t be around much longer so we need to get used to it without them

will be good to see the backline of the next 5+ years. i like the idea of the young guys having to figure it out themselves, rather than having hurley / hooker to direct traffic. a good test.

 

[Gabe251]

List wise, it'll be an interesting test. Are we moving in the right direction at all?

 

[Shanghaistu]

Hey guys, Zac Merrett played more on ball/inside mid recently, is this likely to continue for the game tomorrow?

I hope so. But that would require intelligent coaching and an intent to actually win...

 

[Sockeye]

Bring on the baby bombers.

This focus and also minor signs of some defensive game plan are how I guage our success now. It's great. Bias and wishful thinking has me riding out losses like last weekend no problem.

 

[BrunoV]

Have to assume Ridley is fit. There isn't an option selected as emergency to replace him.

[Ambrosia]

Who comes in for Ridley if he is a late out?

 

[owen87]

Who comes in for Ridley if he is a late out?

I too would like to know this. There's no emergency for him.

 

[eth-dog]

Hurley

See above.

 

[owen87]

See above.

Yes but who comes in for Ridley if he's a late out, this isn't clear.

 

[Pweter]

Yes but who comes in for Ridley if he's a late out, this isn't clear.

Not sure eth-dog could've been much clearer.

 

[BrunoV]

Hurley

Yikes, Hurley is out?

We gunna lose.
