Team V Essendon.

[shotta]

IN Franklin Mitchell Boyle

OUT Dowler Murphy Dixon

Could Tucky have pinched Ellis' spot ?

Boyle has had over a month, he must be ready.

Nothing between Rougha and Dowler last week, 50 games experience should keep him in.

Predictions?

 

[PADJUAN]

dixon to spend a week at BH and re-evaluate his game not to mention his career.. If he wants to get to 200 hes gotta pull his thumb out of his @r$e... as it stands hes on 196. one week at BH gives 4 more games till the end of the season.. that way its all on him to earn his selection and get his 200! would like nothing better than to see him go to BH step up, warrant selection and make it to 200 and go out on a high!

 

[Clarksville]

IN Franklin, Boyle, Ellis
OUT Murphy, Dowler, Dixon

I don't think Mitchell will be right until the Brisbane game. It will be great to have both Ellis & Tuck in the team - both display footy smarts that will shine in 08.

With Boyle, Franklin & Roughead up forward the midfield will feel confident about sending the ball in quick - a lack of genuine options against North would have unsettled any midfield.

If Ellis or Crawford aren't quite right they may consider playing Thorp and setting up four big blokes as forward targets - would be great to see - maybe an 08 thing.

In: Franklin, Boyle, Thorp & Ellis

Controversial but hey, we need to win this one....

Vanders will remain in the team! He is our Captain!

 

[phillm1]

is michael making a comeback? lol.

Hey Kipster, no mitchell?

id do out;Dixon, Gilham(rest, put dowler back)
in; franklin, Mitchell
id give boyle another week, ask Thorp to show us what he did to get a game at bh and make sure Ellis is completely 100% for the next game where him, boyle, thorp and Gilham would be asking for a game ahead of dowler and murphy.

 

[amos]

I've heard nothing to suggest Mitch won't be right.

In; Mitch, Buddy, Ellis
Out; Murphy, Dowler, Dixon

 

[DannyJ]

IN: Franklin, Boyle, Mitchell, Jacobs ...That's some huge INS (no wonder we couldn't win last week, oh, and look at the free kick tally)

OUT: Dowler ( Soft), Tuck (Unlucky), Murphy ( Hasn't improved), Dixon (I want you to get to 200, but must win game)

Must win game, if we lose, we won't make finals, win we will.

 

[Hawk Dork]

dixon to spend a week at BH and re-evaluate his game not to mention his career..

This is what i want too.

Maybe even Thorp (or Ellis) in if one of the others don't come up...

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Dicko may hold his spot. He has a pretty good record against the dones.

Murphy is an interesting one. I thought he would have a bliner this year but he has not shown too much.

Dowler and Tucky were making up the numbers last week both will be very lucky to hang on.

Our injury list is starting to look very impressive.

 

[Philhawk]

OUT: McPhee (Broken nose)

OUT: Vanders (2 weeks - Tribunal)

Oh sorry, thinking too far ahead again.

i'd keep Dixon in, Dowler only out if Boyle comes back i think.

 

[matty_hawk]

our injury list would beat our team against north any day.

is mitch buddy and boyle ready?

 

[JezzHawk]

I hate Essendon.

Lets smash them Hawks. Gloves are off.

IMO this is the best case scenario team for this weekend.

Normally i would have Dixon in the 22 but he looks injured to me so i say give him a week or 2 off.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

I dont think we would ever drop vanders for an essendon game, lets hope he gets the 'chainsaw' out behind play

I agree with this. Thorp showed more in his one game this year than Dowler did, so straight swap of those two. Boyle needs to come back in for this game, hope his hammy is done healing. Franklin and Mitch need to play too if we are to be a serious chance.

Of the outs, only Tuck is unlucky to be dropped. He had a fine first game - look forward to seeing much more of him next year.

And was one of the better players on the weekend. Why would he be dropped and against Essendon in paticular? Just stupid!

new: muston

this will never happen but i honestly believe this would be our best 22.

guerra, young and dixon should be embarrassed after sunday. i was there and i cant believe the mistakes they make or in dixons case how he can make such a small contribution.

dowler and tuck need more time at box hill while there probably isn't a spot for murphy.

muston should get a taste soon. he would probably want 3 games under his belt by the end of the season just so he knows what its all about.

bringing 3 key fwds back at once is a risk worth taking.

Was pretty happy by Vanders return on the weekend. he worked hard and ran all day. Look forward to seeing him step up this week against the Bombers.. He always does! The boys have seemed to always find the next gear when weve been a bit down for the bombers since that infamous day.
