Preview Round 8: Port Adelaide vs Essendon - Sunday, May 7th 1:10pm - Adelaide Oval

[dank420_]

Another example of an ex-North player (Vice Captain) good enough to be on another team's list.

North destroyed their culture and values when they culled Boomer Harvey and three other champs on the same day.
What other club would force their record holder into retired with an email.
Their only strategy appears to be continual begging of the AFL for handouts as they delist their way to the No# 1 draft picks.
Where after receiving concession last year, they are already bleating for more draft concessions this year.

Boomer didn't get the hint to drive far away when they rigged the car raffle for him.

Hope he brings better form than he showed in the VFL . He made Eyre look like Stuart Lowe .

Whos that, Reid?

 

[Keystone agony]

If lord plays aswell I’d expect Reid to take him and Ridley to play on Marshall

Expecting him to be dropped. Theyd be huge if he played

So emergencies are Reid, Snelling, Menzie, D'Ambrosio

 

[andleanback]

Lord out helps the backline

 

[sobrave]

Lord out helps the backline

not really, Marshall comes in for Lord who is a much, much better player.

 

[andleanback]

I’m not saying that. I thought there was a chance you could’ve played lord dixon and Marshall to try and really stretch our defense. Obviously Marshall is a much better player right now than lord…

They stretch it already with Marshall, Dixon and Finlayson against Ridley, Zerk and, um, Heppell?

 

[Beerfish]

I feel like Finlayson has been kicking bags on us since GWS.

Finlayson spends a large amount of time in the ruck though

Put him in for 3-4 on Sunday though, loves playing against essendon

Typical incompetent AFL. They've forgotten to put up final Sunday teams. Put up changes but that's very little help.

Yeah but that means Teakle will also be forward.

Menzie and Reid not named in the VFL.

Menzie and Reid not named in the VFL.

Makes you wonder if one of our defensive "talls" is a question mark and could be a late out. Reid really isnt ready and needs the run in the VFL.

Or if he's pulling the old "name in the 22 but really the sub" move again

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Jones not named in VFL?

 

[Lore]

Jones not named in VFL?

Yeah no Jones, which is weird. He's been an emergency the last two weeks and not played at any level, and now he's not named in either team, not an emergency, but also apparently not injured?

I mean he and Zerk-Thatcher both had a rolled ankle after R5 and they were hoping he'd be right for Anzac Day, both were training. Zerk played, Jones was "omitted" but still an emergency.

Then he didn't play against Geelong, but there was a VFL bye so he also didn't play at that level. So just an emergency.

And now he's still not playing. But not on the injury list, and now not even an emergency?

But also the last thing we heard about him was about an ankle injury... and we know how many issues he's had with feet and ankles already. I hope it's not a secret re-injury :/

 

[Lore]

Menzie and Reid not named in the VFL.

Reid is right HBF on the team on the Essendon website

is there a different team sheet somewhere that doesn't match?

No, you're right, misread it.

 

[bombreys]

Hate that we didn’t bring in another tall - their forwards should have an absolute day out

 

[Megabattimus]

Beat port in port when they’re in form and their coach is coaching for his career? Tell me how, and I want a slice of your optimism pls

It's simple: Brad's got that dog in him.

Also, we only went down by 20ish against Geelong and that was with Hawkins kicking eight as well. If we don't switch the lights off, I'll be very shocked.

For real, by email? That's slack.

Had to double check I hadn't accidently gone to the Punting Board.
