Hilles carrer at essendon looks over same as MJ

 

[Stants_24_Legend]

FFS Bolton, Bradley and Heffernan...
We wanna win the game while Judd,Cousins,Kerr,Embley,Hansen,Glass etc are all likely to miss.

 

[hulld]

some big losses there for bendigo

was over after round 8

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Yay.. Bolts is back. Now I have something to giggle about when I watch the game.

Thank god MJ has been omitted.

Hocking or Houli (if fit) should have got a game ahead of Bolts or Heff.

The next thing essendon should do is play their local pensioners. bloody unbelievable, they should play the young kids not going to win a premership with the old timers

Take it up with Hirdy.

 

[Merv]

I think you will find a couple of sentiment inclusions there for players that won't be there next year

3 older players out.
4 older players in.

There aren't too many younger players left that are available due to injury anyway.

Thanks for your thoughts anyway.

Agreed and I don't have a problem with that either.

 

[B-Bomber]

I don't see a problem with this. Bolton did a decent job our our last match against west coast, he has the tank to run with Mr EPO p) all day. Besides, he has been with the club for a long time, will likely be his last game for us -- give him a bit of respect on the way out. (it's not as if he hasn't tried and played to the best of his ability all these years).

Sentiment is the reason why we are no good at the moment.

We need to play players that will be there next year and not give send offs to guys that haven't done enough throughout their careers.

I'm quite happy to see them get one more game if it means they're gone next year.

Our youngsters will get heaps of game time in 08.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Ooops... double post.

 

[Darealrath]

Wow, could be quite a few retirements from this game.

Hope Keps can show a bit up forward and Neagle can snag one.

Put in a good one for the 2 legends, boys.

 

[thebigboy]

Oh well at least after this game we wont have to watch Heffernan and Bolton again.

 

[Wing Commander]

Pathetic inclusions. Will any one those be in our team next year? Oh well, maybe Keps can inflate his trade value with a good game.

 

[ant555]

Agreed and I don't have a problem with that either.

I do. Why wouldnt you give Hocking another game against a good midfield if you are evaluating his spot for next year or to give him a look at playing against a power running midfield for his development ?
Houli missing out on playing/training last week probaly counted against him goign against them.

It probably tells us that they've already made up their mind about Hocking - one way or the other.

 

[dave_27]

Would have liked to have seen Hocking V Priddis. ah well.

Its Sheedy's last game, let him play his love childs. He's earned it.

 

[essendon]

It will be like watching a comedy show on Sat afternoon/night with these type of players coming bank in, at least we can get to enjoy our footy again and reflect over the year why we didnt make the finals with these players on our list, unforntunately CJ, MJ and JJ couldnt be there with Cole and Campo, we would need WCE players to help carry the players playing their last games off the ground its going to be an emotional day !!

Our player guernsey numbers will be like bingo next year, with plenty numbers up for grabs. Happy Recruiting guys !!!

WELL DONE HIRDY ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED !!! FOREVER LEGEND

CANT WAIT FOR T HIRD TO RUN OUT IN 15YRS TIME WITH A HIRD IN THE NO. 5 BACK IN RED AND BLACK !!

GO BOMBERS !!

 

[monty1104]

Great, we have Lucas, Neagle, Gumby and Bradley all in the team. That is going to work well

 

[sheller891]

what does houli need to do to get a fricking game?

still after reading this thread, i understand the inclusions even if i dont agree

houli/hocking in over heff/pev

but as long as theyre gone next year

is it just me or we shoulnt get rid of hilley

 

[essendon]

With Kerr already out, I hope all there midfields dont play either as its going to be a long 4 quarters on the weekend on such a big ground
