The Bombers would be foolish to think the game is won v/s Carlton

Already i see an air of arrogance creeping into the Bombers and i hope they dont take this game lightly .Dismissing players like Simpson , Judd ( due to injury ) Stevens , Gibbs , Murphy , Waite , Bannister , Russell etc would be footy suicide.

Thornton is another very good player for them .He was their best defender last week .

My guess is Pev could be in for a tagging role for Judd Stevo or Murphy, no-one was accountable for Bartell, Ablett, Corey etc last week so IMO it is a good move.

The tagger has gone to Judd, and with good reason. No-one wants to find out what he could do if you don't sit on him.

Stevens has also copped close attention, but IMO without cause. If you were going to run a second hard tag, on form you'd go with Murphy. His running has gone up a gear in the first two rounds, and the kicking yips that seemed to plague him pre-season appear (fingers crossed) to have gone.

You guys look a little under strength, but as with us, young sides can be unpredictable.

Good luck Saturday. May you lose by 1 point with no injuries or reports.:thumbsu:
 
Pev will surely go to Judd, he's played on him before and done reasonably. He won't be as exposed for pace this time either.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Monfries go to Stevens either.

Probably, but I'd tag Murph and run someone head to head with Stevo ATM.

My Grandma could've been their best defender. Thornton, O'hAilpin, Bower, Bentick, Saddington and Pfeifer aren't too flash.

Wow, you must have been playing close attention.
Bentick and Saddington played with the Bullants, and Pfeiffer is a midfielder........kicked a nice goal and for a kid in his FIRST GAME looked o.k.
Thornton SMASHED Kosi.
Could your Grandmother have beaten Kosi? :cool:

Yet this is perfectly alright...?

Yeah, and there's "an air of arrogance" here...
 
i lke the fact pev's in the team this week, every good team always needs a tagger, especially if judd, or stevens decide to hit form against us..with pev there, we dont have to waste mcveighs ball getting ability by using him to stop one of their midfileders..

but im still worried how where going to kick 15+ goals though. Lloyd aint like he used to be, and jamieson coming back wont help. If where going to rely on mcphee or ryder floating forward to kick our goals then where in deep sh.t.

i cant beleive welsh hasnt been named, and for the first time in my life i actually want johns to play..
 
Watching the panel show on bomber tv calthorpe said welsh could come in this was filmed after the side was picked, I reckon he will play
 
houli should play, knights has been saying that he will play the players only if they are fit. welsh isnt 100% i guess so he isnt named. and knights is very straight unlike sheeds' great work in the past.

NEW and IMPROVED Carlton vs Essendon Matchups (could someone do these matchups on footy magnets plz!!!!)

IN: Pev, Lovett, Reimers, Monfries

OUT: Dempsey, JJ, Slats, NLM

Scotland VS Dyson = If he plays well Scotland will have to to a chasing defencive role.

Thornton VS Lloyd = Blues will wat O'hAilpin further up field, LLoyd is too strong.

Waite VS McPhee = McPhee can isolate Waite as a rebounding player, by playing a lead up role, similar to last week. Waite won't be afraid to come off his man to help his team tho which might be a big mistake against McPhee.

Carrazzo VS Reimers = Davey will provide pressure to the rebounding defenders and the most offensive would be Carrazzo. Can't wait to see Davey's speed too much for such a slow team.

Bower VS Lovett = Lovett will have a great game, Bower is unexperienced and will be Stuffed by the end of the game.

Jamison VS Lonergan = Jamison is a good tackler and although he will spend time on Lloyd/McPhee/Hille/Laycock/Ryder when they play forward he will be well matched against Lonergan.

Judd VS Pev = Pev's lack of speed will not be too evident against a slower Judd, Pev has done well on him in the past.

Gibbs VS Winderlich = Gibbs will have to be flat out for the whole game to keep up with Winders, who will play off the wing.

Simpson VS Houli = Will be the best match-up of the match IMO. Houli in great form and Simpson has great underated skill.

Stevens VS McVeigh = McVeigh will again play a less of a tag because Stevens is a similar player to McVeigh when playing an attacking role. Great Battle, and i would expect McVeigh to be switched to Judd so that pev can use his quick hands and hard running more.

Murphy VS Stanton = Stants is due for a good match, and he could use his hard running skills against Murphy, who not used to someone who will stick to him all day everwhere on the field like stanton does.

Houlihan VS Monfries = Houlihan is hard runner and will playing a very underated opponent, both may go into mid if needed but Houlihan will spend most time on bench or backline :p, i wouldn't be suprised if Monfries kicked 3 or 4.

Cloke VS Ryder = Similar height, but Ryder posseses oo much skill and smarts for Cloke, but will have to avoid a 1on1 situation, like he did with mooney. Cloke is much stronger than ryder. Cloke might also swith will Kreuzer and Ryder has him well beaten.

Fisher VS Reimers = Will be a big task for Reimers, both players can take great marks and read the play well. Reimers is a great spirited player who reminds me of Glenn Archer. Could be nom for Rising Star if he can shut down Fisher.

Betts VS Nash = Great Contest, both hardworkers, Nash will have to play well on an in form Betts.

Fevola VS Mal = Fev will be well covered Mal, Fletch, Ryder and Lee all could be rotating opponents.

Russell VS Ramauskas = Ramanauskas, will play on a young kid like Edwards, so that he can still provide run of backline.

O'hAilpin VS Fletcher = Both tall, both agile, both versitile and can play nearly anywhere on field. Another great contest.

Hampson VS Hille = Hampson has experience down back and will be good contest for Hille when he goes forward. Hille is much stronger and agile tho.

Kreuzer VS Laycock = Laycock will spend time forward and he is a good mark which will test Kreuzer. Kreuzer will tho run a lot also testing Laycock.

Bannister VS Watson = No real need for Bannister in this team, Watson will run him off his feet and will have to be rotated with maybe McVeigh.

Hadley VS Jetta = A hard battle for both players, Jetta has too much pace for Hadley, but Hadley and too much tank for Jetta, will be interesting to watch.
 
I like your enthusiam but you either overate us or underate them Fev tore us apart last time how can u say we have him well covered. You ahve named reimers against both of them will beat him. Simpson is a very good player as is Carrazzo

Dont take this the wrong way I reckon we will win but lets get serious if your doing matchups

Ummm......O'hAilpin not playing (omitted) so keeps in line with your post above.

Secondly, you seem to have every matchup as an Essendon win.
Sounds just a little delusional given that several of our players beaty their St Kilda opponent last week.

Watson too much run for Bannister? Bannister just ran with Deledio and Dal Santo and beat both of them quite comfortably.
I don't think he will lose sleep over Jobe.;)

If you play Reimers on Fisher, fisher will take about 10 marks in the goal square and we will inflict your second "near 100" point loss in as many weeks.
He may be a tough player, and have some run, and quite frankly I like Reimers, but Fisher is not his match up.

Jamison will get Loyd. Mark it down.

Waite will play on McPhee and Thornton on the next best tall/medium forward.

In terms of essendon I can see Mal getting Fev. Ryder on Fisher and Fletcher on which ever one of our 3 rucks is forward (probably gonna be kreuzer the most)
 
If we play like we did in the first quarter against Geelong we should get off to a handy lead.

I'm watching the match again now, and frankly we were very good. If Laycock was having a better day he could have kicked three or four, and we could have had another 2 or 3 from others. We could improve the intensity of our attack on the ball and tackling then we'll do well.

Admittedly we were worse after that, but I'm heartened by just how good we were in that first 20 mins, much better than people have suggested given the end result.
