Review Unofficial Practice Match: Essendon vs Gold Coast, Austworld, Thursday 23rd Feb @ 5pm AEDST

[Red Black and Blue]

Davey and Menzie sound like locks. Walla too? 3 small forwards?

I think you can play with 4/5, especially if they can pinch on a wing or middle. Tigers did it in 2020 with Baker, Rioli, Bolton, Castagna + Edwards, Lambert and Caddy rolling through. I'd love to see all of them plus Jayden and Munkara. 3 up forward, with Stringer, Wright and Jones, 1 on the bench, Alwyn on a wing.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Not really. They’re playing on a cow paddock, we’re lucky to be getting it filmed.

They telecast all the practice matches? Why should we feel lucky?

No one is expecting 10 HD cameras but it also doesn't mean we should be thrilled to watch 36 silhouettes running around, or cameras juddering and jerking

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Tex out there too. The pressure is going to be insane.

Who is #28?

 

[citizen-erased]

Also, don't kill menzie

 

[windyhill]

I’d hate to play on Vossy.

Yeh but they don’t have to, they’re unofficial practice matches. They could easily say we aren’t putting any resources into it.
The quality will be afl standard next week when fox actually produce the coverage.

Menzie is an absolute goal pig. Probably the most natural forward we have already.

Are you guys thinking he gets a jumper for round 1 , if so , does he have it in him to solidify his place , SC prospect , thanks

Yeah. Has featured as a goal kicker in the intraclubs. Not a lot of touches but will play early.

And we’re paying for the streaming service

Sounds like they've said just that by the comments here.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I was expecting Davey to be decent, he's exceeded my expectation.

Very smart and solid hands.

 

[windyhill]

Picture is a lot better now without the sun behind them casting long shadows, as predicted

Beautiful movement from Tex. A bit silly at the end, just run it in.

 

[Mr Sasquatch]

get in to the habit of finishing the goals, not half baked shots

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Jeez talk about hit and giggle. This is very very very low tempo

 

[citizen-erased]

Practice match. Dont overstretch the calves

 

[dank420_]

[citizen-erased]

Ooh
Good strategy. Bail before the end while we have the lead.
Scott > clarkson

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Kinda interesting we don't have the tank to go even 5 quarters. Geelong still going with the month less prep time.
