Prediction Round 12, 2026: Changes vs Essendon

[Cursedsword02]

Lindsay, Gross, Cole, Bazzo and one of CDT/Jilliams for mine.

Wouldn't be surprised if we go unchanged, though.

Horrible weather predicted

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Gross is very good wet weather player so would be bringing him in this game

CDT, Gross and Hall in.

What the hell is Hall in for?

Pity vote?

Farewell game before he gets dumped at seasons end?

I can't wait for that weather. It's gonna be glorious.

Are you a duck, by any chance?

 

[Proeagle]

Essendon missing 5 more first team players on top of the half a dozen or more still on the sidelines.

Getting deja vu here but surely - surely - we have to win, right?

And May left last game with sore ribs. So I hope we test that out. Some Ginbey body work and crunching tackles.

 

[Doashuey]

Nope. Got a calf injury.

Hirdy has a peptide for that.

 

[Astro7]

McCarthy saying they've been addressing the forward entry problem this week.
Not sure how that'll work in the mud and the blood and the beer, but the ball pigs can get to work.
Good Starcevich is saved from the gruelling grind-fest it promises to be, gets to play a gruelling grind-fest against Peel Thunder instead.
If we're good enough in the slop, this could be a percentage booster for us.

Essendon are the worst pressure team in the AFL by a country mile. If it's a scrap due to the weather, we should easily get on top of them.

Break it open after half time...but I won't get ahead of myself. ((;
Sounds like the team is absolutely pumped for this game, the win.

Not bad sue, nb.

 

[THE A5]

Maric might be soft but he is far better this year than he was last year. He actually not only uses it well but there bot many turn overs. Can see with a big of confidence him becoming a a guy that can really expose teams with his kicking.

 

[Boohemian]

The best thing about the game is that it's poncho weather.





(wrong kinda poncho, I guess)

I dunno. The Richmond game had me feeling nervous all week. Just confident this week. Think the only thing stopping us racking up our biggest win in years will be the weather.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Why isn't Hewitt getting a look?

 

[THE A5]

Is Hewitt the new Marsden?

 

[Mighty Eagles]

I think it was a good decision to not recall Starce just yet. Let him go back, play well on increased minutes in the WAFL.

Johnston, Cole, Allan & JWilliams will need to perform well to retain their spot against NM next weekend.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Is there much lightning predicted?

 

[Boohemian]

Why isn't Hewitt getting a look?

If he has a strong game this weekend, he’s probably back into the frame for a recall.

Port next week.

I reckon he has one foot out the door and mini knows it

I wonder if the Carlton board misspell George Hewett

[Mr Q]

With Hird back on the horizon, I reckon it's time to bring out EFH's Essendon Hate Week banners

 

[wce4premiership]

Looking at those outs for the dons....it would be humiliating if we lost.

No more so than losing to the Tigers like we did.
