If it's going to be wet you'd think Kepler would be the first to go from the 7 man bench. Though i wouldn't mind him replacing Hille given Hille's efforts of the last few weeks.

I really hope we play Henno in defence where he is named, and not as the 2nd ruck.

Good to see Stants starts.

Sam Hunt would have to go in front of Braderly.

I'd have liked to seen Hunt named but from reports Bradley has had the superior VFL form. As has Richards.

Just face it, Hunt is not going to get a game, for whatever reason, he's another Cory McGrath. He might be able to play a bit, who knows, but he'll never get the shot.

One being, he's shyte.

The deeeeeeees will get real close, maybe even win. We all saw what happened in round 2 when our 'good record vs team x' was used to pick us to beat the saints, unfortunately, that's all we have this week. Melb will get their 2nd win in 10 years.

the thing is essendon is such a great team. melbourne can tend to be weak when a team plays physical footy against us. as well as that you have players like lloyd and hird. if anyone can turn a match its hird. i don't think its going to be that close. i think essendon will run away with it and win by 30+.

IMO:
If it's wet, Dees.
If it's dry, Dons.

Wet - Bradley, Lovett-Murray, Alvey out
Dry - Richards, Misiti, Alvey out

 

[Darealrath]

Alvey, Richards and Bullen have been cut from the team.

Bradley, Hille, Lovett-Murray and Misiti are the bench.

I thought Bullen had to play, we'll see if it costs us.

I actually think it might be the other way around, last year in rd 17 we were dead set level until the rain came and we edged them out in the end.

When it's dry, it's when their great runners in the midfield can cut us open.

I'll go the other way around, when it's dry, Melbourne might have a chance, when it's wet, we'll win

I did, and all I know during the last quarter was that Freo is absolutely sh*tehouse, Melbourne weren't exactly great (Okay Vardy was very good), just Freo were SO BAD.

Against Collingwood when it was wet, you were caned, when the conditions were better, you caned them back.

Fletcher, Hille, Murphy and Solomon are in doubt according to dribble M.

Remember that info is from MMM, so it's most likely wrong.

Having said that it will rain heavily and we will lose regardless.
