Adams is a test, presume for ressies?

Adams is a test, presume for ressies?

You would think VFL, hasn’t played since opening round (9 weeks ago).

 

[strauchanie59]

It's a win if 2-Metre Peter doesn't take out one of our players within the first five minutes.

If only we had a 2-Metre Peter of our own.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

If only we had a 2-Metre Peter of our own.

Don’t need it now we have the magnificent “No Clanger Franga da Ranga” making hay in our forward line.

 

[McRobie]

Want to see Rowbottom handball a lot more, his bomb kicking seems to be getting more prolific.
I’ve been calling for it all year, some more Cleary in the guts, give Sheldrick a genuine crack at it.
Keep the rage from that GWS game, the intensity in the contest seemed to flow from our aggression towards the Giants players, a couple of good old fashioned scraps are good for the boys.
Jordan to ZM is a non negotiable, I’ll spew up if we tag a half back flanker.

 

[Dangas]

He's one of those guys who just goes next level against us. Even last week he kicked 3

And all in last qtr. Stringer plays out of his skin vs Swans.

I still remember that game we should have won vs. Dons a few years back weirdly enough at the MCG. Stringer played a blinder.

I want to see Grundy kick more , instead of u9's handball in the air
Rowy is not a bad shot at goal

Yeah he’s not to be bad in from of goal, I’m talking more exiting the contest. Grundy bobbing and weaving through traffic also frightening.

I’m just pondering whether your weather reports (which I typically look forward to) are obsolete when we’re at Marvel.

 

[wolftone57]

Don’t agree that Essendon can be brilliant.

They range between “meh” and “meh”.

Conversely, this year we range between “omg, flag chance!” and “what‘ll we do with pick 3?”

Melican out is a massive blow.

Our defence has looked utterly dysfunctional without him.

Danger game. Somehow.

It was disfunctional because someone tried turning a great CHB into a forward lol. How did Edwards play in the reserves? I didn't see the game but none of the GWS forwards kicked more than 3, Grewzuski, who he probably had, kicked 2.3. Keefe kicked 2.2 but he would have been rucking for some of that. Edwards got 16 & 5 marks.

Do the Resies Watchers think he is ready?

 

[wolftone57]

I just can’t see Edwards being in the frame based on VFL form.

I’d think Snell would be ahead in the queue.

I could not find Snell's name on the sheet for last week's game. Just looked again. He didn't play. Might be injured

Well if they leave the roof open the night before...


Like they have recently.



Brad Scott looks on in Horror.


*for the record the Forecast for Melbourne looks perfect for footy.
Cool arvo/evening.
Marvel should be sweet.

I've been there for cricket when the roof was closed and it was humid. Yuck.

As noted elsewhere, I've watched all of the VFL games this year & don't think Edwards has progressed to a point where he's a viable option for the AFL side at this stage.

Snell is still on an upward trajectory, but was reportedly ill last week. I'd be surprised if he was selected for a debut this week - but my view is that he's likely ahead of Edwards in the selection queue.

Same thoughts, if it's only illness Snell might come in but I can't see them picking him myself, Edwards wasn't fantastic but not sure there's an alternative. Maybe dare I say it and closes eyes and pukes...Francis goes back, and we go ultra small up front.

 

[wolftone57]

If only we had a 2-Metre Peter of our own.

We do. He's called Buller. Unfortunately, he is nowhere near as Good as TMP

 

[wolftone57]

I think ill.

Ok. Not on injury list so thought flu

 

[Kbroome]

Its crazy how this time last season I didn't want Adams in the side but now a year later and a year older for him and I want him back in because our contested ball situation at times this year has been poor and we need to get McInerney out of the contest and running on the outside as he gets caught way too much in the middle

Think at worst he'd be a good rotation, not sure he'll be straight in after 8 weeks out though, and I'd be playing him in the VFL first. Think we can get away with what we have this week. Tend to agree though, we need Adams in there hopefully Cox plays him there and not near other roles like he was last year
