Thanks brada, if we in fact diagnosed a 'hamstring' we should send our doctor to Essendon. Early days...but, shit will hit the fan if true

Yup.. Regardless if we can win without him i still beleive he shouldnt of played againts GWS...But that arguement has been done to death so i will move on quietly....

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Pretty handy squad.

 

[cAsEy_18]

Don't give Crams any chance for us, expect Pears to come in, Carlisle to go forward.

Can't bring myself to wish you guys luck, let's just go with please God no injuries. Pfft, who am I kidding, we are Essendon

Did you honestly believe Mark Evans when he said it was a two to three weeker? Would not surprise me if we don't see him for a while yet. Frustrating.

Essendon's OUTs are pretty big, while ours wouldn't be in our best 22 at the moment anyway... Really hope we can seal this one up

 

[Kaity]

Heading down to shebu to watch this! very excited, been in greece for a few months so have had to listen on the radio. Will be great to see hodge back!
And my essendon supporting mate has just arrived in london, not winning is not an option!!

 

[Pessimistic]

dermie when asked if playing Hodge was a risk on SEN:

"Its only Essendon"

 

[Tasmaniac]

Not too happy with hodge pladying. He had better be (relatively) match fit.

Don't want to see Essendon players run off him at will..

Paul Roos apparently knows how to beat us.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/roos-strategy-for-an-essendon-victory/story-fn7si1vl-1226436143455

In Summary - Stop Mitchel, Riloli, Gibson, Suckling, Young, Bruest, Hale and Roughead. Then execute the Essendon game plan.

I'm worried, especially now Winerlich is back

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Hodge will not start on the ground. He will definitely be a sub. If he starts and we get an injury he has to play the full game (doubt he can at this stage)...If he plays he will definitely be as a sub.

I think he could start on, if we get an injury or even 2 he will be able to be pushed onto the HBF or even as the lead up FF that Lewis played if he needs to be hidden. As long as we hit the game knowing that might be the case we should be prepared to cover it if this happens.

I can't read the whole article - don't have a pass or whatever it is. What did Roos say about Kennedy? How would the Swans beat the Hawks and scum? Did he mention how good Sydney are at targeting opposition players? I assume he said SFA about the Hawks.

just paste this into a google search quiet - Roos: Strategy for an Essendon victory
That'll unlock that bit*h for ya

 

[Gralin]

Roos talked about shutting down Mitchell and Young and Gibson, tagging Punky and Pig to see how they cope, attacking through Hale and Roughs direct opponent when in the ruck and playing accountable footy, not rocket science stuff and the kind of thing that might be tried anyway.

he's just hoping to be able to write an article next week and talk OTC about how he designed the blue print to beat us

 

[Roddy27]

Time to stand firm.

Go Hawks!

Where is the strategy for Hawks to beat Essendon? Pretty sure Roos hates us. Never a kind word to say! Stuff him and stuff the bummers!!

 

[TheFourPillars]

Roos hates everyone except sydney and fremantle. Sydney for obvious reasons and Fremantle for his mate Ross Lyon. He does not even try to hide his biases

 

[Gralin]

Nobody is going to write an article on how we beat Essendon because the current media consensus is that we are clear favourites for this game, last week they were talking about whether we would go small up forward like Carlton and put pressure on Heath and Harry down back to beat the Pies.

Next weeks articles will be on the Cat's mental edge over us for the past 4 years

Try reading the Courier Mail ;-)

 

[amofootyfan]

As much as i love Hodgey, wouldnt a full game even at 2s level be better than a quarter and a bit at AFL level for his fitness base. And, if we get an early injury....... Well, i guess Clarko knows best

 

[Brishawk]

Try reading the Courier Mail ;-)

You do not simply read the courier mail. You get assaulted by questionable facts and curious reasoning.

 

[Changa10]

I'm not sure what the big deal regarding the Buddy out until Round 20 news is? Tonight we play Round 18, next week we play Geelong in Round 19, then it's round 20. Get him right, and have him fit, firing and hungary for finals.

Like most here, I really hope we smash the filth tonight. Bourbon and smashing filth sounds like a great night to me!

 

[tazhawk]

As much as i live Hodgey

No worries mate I live and breath Hodgey as well.
