Preview Round 4: Essendon vs Adelaide, Docklands, Sunday 10/04/2022 @ 1:10 PM

[Halftimehero]

That’s a dreadful team on paper.

Baldwin, Bryan, Hobbs and Hird should be playing

Baldwin is out with concussion and Hird is no where near it.

 

[MiguelM]

Snelling back is huge. The 1%ers.

Stringer a big loss, just get him right. A phone call to whoever got Jamie Eliott's hamstrings right might be a good idea.

So glad Philips is retained in the side as 2MP needs to be permanent forward now. We win IMO.

I watched Hird in the VFL and TBH I wouldn't be surprised if he was delisted at years end.

Saw nothing in the slightest comparable to his dad. Plodder IMO.

 

[Mikevk123]

Rationale?

Well apparently Baldwin has concussion. And the rationale is players like Ham, Guelfi, Phillips etc aren’t going to take us forward. It’s better to see what talent we have so we can improve as a team.

Are any of the kids anywhere close to senior footy? Bar Hobbs, Bryan, Zerk etc

[Pweter]

Genuinely nervous about this game. I hope the Crows think they're better than they are after scraping over the line against Port and try to play like millionaires

I would be. Has shown bits and pieces and can have one more year on the Cat B list.

The fact you mentioned Hird disqualifies the comments. Slow / small and just VFL level. He is a downgrade on Guelfi .
Bryan I could live with .
Phillips is a good back up to have around.
Hobbs will get in sooner rather than later.

Not really. I agree, Hobbs, Zerk, Bryan are AFL ready.

I see something in Eyre, Voss, Brand and of course Reid but down from there is very bare.

Lack of genuine speed is a worry. We need to look for the next Bolton type. Are the Davey twins fast?

Yes, yes they are.

Same feeling here too.

If we bring our effort from the previous two weeks, we should be able to win, regardless of our outs (and as sloppy as it will probably be). Finals are just about out of the equation, but we can't afford to lose whatever confidence we still have left.

Game Day - Round 4: Essendon v Adelaide, Sunday April 10, 1.10pm AEST - Marvel Stadium

ESSENDON BOMBERS A semi-half-decent kind of performance against the reigning premier. Peter Wright was the pick of the Dons, slotting four goals as the talisman up forward. Dylan Shiel stepped up in the absence of Zach Merrett, whilst Darcy Parish continued to rack up possessions. Andrew...
