For the umpteenth time
Break The Curse

 

[Southern Sun]

Walter> Lukosius
Rogers> swallow
Miller> clohesy( he's been good this year just looks cooked)
Davies> any of fiorini, Johnstone, Sexton

 

[Mini GF]

Great meltdown folks. Rock Solid.

Now let’s beat a big precious VFL club and smash the away curse.

Plus give the Vic Fans their moment to sing the song this season.

Might as well play some of the kids the last 3 weeks and get some development in.

Rogers and Walter to come in.

Some weak performances in the 1s, take your pick.

 

[Jirik13]

It looks like Miller and Day could be available.

Who will get opportunity from VFL team?

Rogers. Walter.

Anybody else worth giving opportunity to prove himself?

Faulkhead, Brock, Farrar?

Plenty of players could be dropped. Rosas was non-existent against Eagles. Except a couple of good moments Johnston had poor game too. Sexton after great VFL game was poor too. The list could continue.

 

[Mini GF]

So normally I’d say play the kids.
But we really need to break the away curse.
So maybe this week is the exception and you play whatever is the best available.

 

[kreglze]

I think we have found Sexton isn't the answer anymore, probably played his last game. Johnston doesn't get enough of the pill to make an impact at AFL level.

I'm getting the feeling that the kids might be the best available.

The sad part is that we played most of our kids, unless they are injured.

I think Clohesy has hit his wall. Burst on the scenes and looked great; but faded a lot as the season has gone on.

Jonston, while I like him, isn’t ready.

Season is done. Time to start mixing things around and trialling players.

Rosas to come in I’d say, even though he had a stinker as sub. Give some other VFL vets a chance maybe, like Farrar.

Otherwise, try a few other people in the midfield and wing roles and see if we can get a better mix for next year.

Have loved Secco
He like a couple of others now who fall into the Can't group
For Secco, perhaps like Dave Swallow at least it's the "Can't Anymore" group
Brando recognised that and went out on top
I think we all just hoped we could make finals this year for Dave Swallow
Dave could play on in the VFL.
He offers more than a guy like Cheat Code and would always be available as a break glass after you've broken all the other glass option

 

[BEEG]

Flanders didn't come on for that last 5 minutes and looked to be injured?

 

[TheG13]

Does Davies come straight back in? One I'm potentially targeting in draft...

 

[Azdog11]

Walter > Johnston
Rogers> swallow
Miller> clohesy
Davies> Sexton
Day> Fiorini

Now that the seasons over let’s see what the young kids have got. Play Walter, Rogers and Read.

Read is injured. Rogers just played his first VFL game after injury.

Anyway, I’m hoping we can end Essendon’s season with a win this week. If we can’t make it, nobody we play can…

Up here the blowtorch has to be the players holding each other accountable and demanding better.
Which is the worry.

Season is over, but let’s just break the curse. Get one away win.. there is still a chance to have our best season ever
