Preview Round 12: Essendon Bombers vs The Gold Campaigners* - Thirsty People Stadium - Sunday 2nd June - 4:00pm

Surely Goldstein would be very familiar with a Moyle’s work?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Collins a doubt as well…sat out last training session

 

[ghostdog]

Coaches, doctors, physos, fitness all chat together and with Goldy and it’s clearly determined he’s good to go. Not that hard to understand. Quite an advantage with Witts out

I have no doubt he's capable of rucking for a full game. Are we likely to get his best game this week and next week if he plays on Sunday? I'd venture not, because form is a factor as well. And he hasn't been in good form for a fortnight.

 

[Foxx]

He may have halved lots. I put it to you Sir, that he lost many more.

The current discussion is not about Bryan v. Nank. It is about Bryan v. Moyle, which I'm sure you'd agree is a contest in which we are much more likely to break even, while at the same time preserving our 35 year old number 1 ruck for the prospect of both Pittonet and De Koning.

That would be what planning for the marathon to get through 23 rounds looks like, rather than destroying what's left of Mr Goldstein in a contest where we are not required to do so, yet can still be very competitive.

Preserve him in 2 weeks time. I'm glad Goldstein has been deemed fit enough to play until then.
Maintaining our advantage for this game.

 

[JayJ20]

Why no Bryan? Pretty frustrated with that.

 

[Megabattimus]

Why no Bryan? Pretty frustrated with that.

Maybe they're backing Goldy to feast on Ned?

this is an intriguing line up - i wonder who lost last time Goldstein encountered a Moyle?

 

[boncer34]

Yes, the one where Bryan would have been smashed by Nankervis, and we would have lost.

Is 44-16 in hitouts not a smashing?

 

[Hird05]

Can only assume Goldy had the virus and is better now if he ends up playing. Clearly we don't have the full story. Having said that I'd like to have seen Bryan in.

The future is looking brighter for Davey but I think Menzies offers more consistency now so glad he's come in.

 

[katana]

Dunno how it could even be remotely controversial. Much more flexible player, can be the sub & hes had more impact than Davey when on ground

what's he done that davey hasn't?

 

[boncer34]

what's he done that davey hasn't?

Kicked 2 goals in a game?

 

[katana]

Kicked 2 goals in a game?

when was that bro?

 

[boncer34]

when was that bro?

You want me to list all 7 times?

Let's flip the question. What's Davey done that he hasn't?

 

[Pweter]

You want me to list all 7 times?

Let's flip the question. What's Davey done that he hasn't?

Are we talking Menzie or Tsatas vs Davey?

I'm confused. One has, one hasn't kicked 2

 

[Foxx]

Cmon Boncer you know it's more than hitouts.

 

[boncer34]

Are we talking Menzie or Tsatas vs Davey?

I'm confused. One has, one hasn't kicked 2

I thought Menzie. My apologies katana

 

[boncer34]

Cmon Boncer you know it's more than hitouts.

Not when it comes to our midfield not getting first use all night.

 

[wichidi]

I’m all for Bryan getting a run.
But a couple of things.

One. Brad never changes a winning side much. Unless injuries.

Two. In presser last week, he spoke about Goldy. Basically they keep giving him lots of work and he eats it up. When they think he needs a rest they will give him one.

So right now they must think he doesn’t need a rest.

In saying that, I reckon don’t rule out a late change if he gets the virus.

 

[justlookingaround]

I’m certain there will be late changes

 

[katana]

I thought Menzie. My apologies katana

no you're right. i was more getting at menzie having only one goal in 5 games this year. davey has kicked one in each of the last three, and all fairly speculative chances that he made happen. he's quicker than menzie and averages more tackles.

i just think he's a better option both short and long term.

Menzies work last year is far better than anything Davey has done.

Has he done it this year? No
Is it certain he will now? No
Does it mean he'll never capture that form? Also no.

Not since they were 13 days old?

 

[Foxx]

Bryan would have been worse.
