Personally I don’t think he will start off in the vest. He has had a couple of games or practice games under his belt. The other reason is Jones has been dropped and I think having a ruckman as a sub limits your options.

I'd put him in and give him the SC Captaincy

 

[MiguelM]

Looking forward to the game but have this song stuck in my head......

 

[The Donners]

Would be Essendon’s best win for some time if they get over the Swans in Sydney. Better than beating West Coast in Perth in 2021.

Swans by 25.

 

[ghostdog]

I think we match up reasonably well with Sydney, so I'm expecting a contest. Obviously we'll have to bring our best effort but that's the minimum expectation anyway.

Draper and Goldy should regulate Grundy.
Setterfield and [R1] Perkins and Duz should be able to make enough space for Hobbs/Merrett/Caldwell to get to work. We should be able to break even in there, even without Darcy.

McKay - McDonald
Laverde - McLean
Cox -Amartey
McGrath - Papley
Redman - Heeney

I'm optimistic.

McKay best suited to McLean of their forwards. Plus that's the last player I'd stick Lav on in terms of their forwards.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Redman - Heeney

Mason's out tho

 

[Maxabillions]

At least Perkins should get a good opportunity to prove last week was no fluke with parish out

 

[Shanghaistu]

Looking forward to seeing Hepp on Papley

 

[astrowizzle]

Mason's out tho

But can't we use the Sydney rules and play him coz rules don't apply. Oh that's right they only apply one way

Can't stand these cheating pricks
They have been gifted for 30 years . I can't stand them. Time to step up

Point 4 just makes me angry

They exhibit the true bloods culture by being pathetic cheating pricks

 

[MiguelM]

Matchups will change during the game as required but centre clearences a real key on the smaller ground.

I think our best chance is (assuming clearances are fairly even) is if 2MP has a better than average game. He is our point of difference IMO.

 

[mcgrath_truther]

think it'll be another heartbreaker sadly

 

[supportyourteam]

Stick it thru the big sticks

Me too, what's the downside of optimism? A loss that, based on odds and history, is likely. Worst that can happen is that we lose, as everyone expects.

 

[ghostdog]

Mason's out tho

Ah, yeah. There's that.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

is the ground underwater yet

Game Day - Round 2 - Sydney v Essendon, SCG, Saturday 23/3/24, 7.30pm AEDST

SYDNEY There's a great universal joy to be had when Collingwood is made to look like a bunch of mugs. Their 16th flag unfurling was just such an occasion. The Swans meticulously dismantled Collingwood, consigning them to a winless start to the season. The Swans are worthy flag favourites right...
