Preview Round 14 - Essendon Bombers vs Geelong Cats - campaignerry Game - Saturday June 14th - 4:15pm at the MCG!

[rumply]

Most Essendon debutants in a season since 1974.

 

[Blind Turn]

Most Essendon debutants in a season since 1974.

One S Madden might’ve been amongst those. Hopefully in 50 years time we’ll be reflecting on the debut of the legendary Visentini amongst this current batch. (Just doing the sums… yeah I may not be alive)

he was indeed

 

[jannissary]

hope derm hands over may’s jumper

 

[jannissary]

i wager i’ll be incorrect, but i hope day-wicks isn’t in the firing line for selection this week.

while starting as the sub isn’t by any means glamorous, i thought he came on and did a whole lot right when the game was on the line. kicking a goal wouldve been great, too, but he’s got a lot to like about him.

 

[JayJ20]

Awesome to see. I’m interested in the game again.

May to kick a bag on debut.

 

[Vindicater]

Hope that we see

Out: Durham (sus) Goldstein (rest) Gresham (omit)

In: Tsatas, May and Blakiston

Tsatas replaces Durham's midfield minutes
Blakiston takes Goldys main ruck role.
Merrett moves forward to replace Gresham's role.
Perkins is sub and Day-Wicks given his role.
Johnson and Clarke given responsibility of backline kicking.

God damn, this new unpredictable Brad is wrecking havoc on my potential ins... loving it.

Agree with this, although I'd have Perkins out instead of Gresham.

Yeah it was a flip of a coin. I mainly went with Gresham as I thought Merrett could do that role and Day-Wicks could do the Perkins one.

Like the in’s but Perkins holds his spot, two steps forward one step back

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Two mids out and still no Tsatas and Shiel

 

[Vindicater]

Merret back in the middle and potentially shudder Perkins again I reckon...

Please play Gresham/Perkins as the sub at least.

 

[MightyDon]

Two mids out and still no Tsatas and Shiel

We ain’t lacking for mids

 

[Vindicater]

Blakiston clearly going to play defense.

 

[JayJ20]

Really happy to see Lual and all the other debutants hold their spot. They certainly deserve it.

I was hoping to see Tsatas get a spot. Maybe they'll bring Merrett back into the midfield

 

[Vindicater]

From the named bench please please please have Gresham as sub.

Reckon Goldy will be subbed out if there is no injury before three quarter time and Wright/Blakiston will go in the ruck depending on how the game is flowing.

 

[ant555]

Hobbs has not given much in recent weeks so super shock there.
Gresham probably survives because he kicked a couple of goals.
Perkins lucky.
Tsatas clearly not ticking off what they want from him in the VFL.

 

[andleanback]

Two mids out and still no Tsatas and Shiel

Hobbs isn’t a mid, he’s never played on ball. We don’t need another mid
We need to get merrett back on ball
Our rotation includes Martin Caldwell merrett setterfield parish. 5 mids is plenty

 

[nipst@r]

Blakiston has to play back or a late goldy out otherwise i hate this team balance. 2 rucks plus Wright, May and caddy is horrible balance.

2 small to 2 tall haha. Expecting a tall as a late out.

Be interesting how we line up.
