Preview Round 18: Essendon vs Gold Coast, Docklands, Sunday 17/07/2022 @ 4:40 PM

[Halftimehero]

The time when he hasn’t been completely spudding it and almost playing AFL standard games?

Not in a minority there is he?

 

[Pweter]

I'm glad Heppell playing or not is our biggest concern of this game, must mean we're doing ok atm.

Personally I see limiting Witts and Miller's inluence as our keys.

I really like the GC forward line too. Our defence will need to be on.

 

[ghostdog]

You lot complaining about Heppell getting another year actually had your eyes open the last 6 weeks?

He has been good, but you need to weigh up those weeks against a 1 or 2 year contract and the long term development of the youth coming through. Wrong thread anyway. Mods?

Collins vs 2MP will be interesting too. I'd really like to see a big game from Stringer. He hasn't put together 4 solid quarters since returning. Maybe hasn't even put together a solid half?

Save for the burst against Sydney, Stringer has been well below what we'd expect after a decent block of games back. The positive though is he still demands a decent defender no matter his form.

Yep. Not sure who that will be today though. Maybe Ballard with Luko to Jones.

 

[Squeaky]

Yep. Stringer hasn't really inspired yet.
I hope that Litre continues his current form, Shiel has a good game again and that we stay competitive. Some better ball use would certainly help.

Luko is playing forward for the most part, expect Ballard with Graham on Jones

 

[mike14]

Trying to get a GA ticket for my 10 year old and every time I try the website tells me it can't be actioned. I assume I'm able to buy a ticket at the gate?

 

[srobbo]

Why is Ham playing ahead of Mass? Absolute joke

Ham has no future at the club. Better for Mass to have the full game in the VFL than Ham and actually develop than (potentially) sit on the pine for the entire game.

Game Day - Round 18: Essendon v Gold Coast, Sunday July 17, 4.40pm AEST - Marvel Stadium

ESSENDON BOMBERS YYYYYYEEEEEEEEWWWWWW. Sure, the Lions were decimated with COVID and injury, but a win for this young group, in Brisbane, is HUGE. Jake Kelly monstered the best small forward in the league. 2MP booted 5 goals and we all thank the Gold Coast for basically giving him to us. Jye...
