Cox and West playing for a Spot vs Cats next week

Cox and West playing for a Spot vs Cats next week

We need a backup ruck TD. West ain’t playing if cox is fit

Unless West has an absolute Blinder!

 

[Jen2310]

Unfortunately we'd need the 2nd ruck, and not something you want checkers or Long to do. Cox the most likely
But they'll rest checkers at some point which is where Westy can debut

But if he kicks 5 again, how can we deny him

Fair dinkum mate ? Cox a certain in. McStay out.

 

[Jen2310]

Unfortunately we need a 2nd ruck, so would mean Coxy. Otherwise we'll have Long or checkers 2nd ruck
But with the 5 day break after geelong, would love to see someone get rested and west debuts.

 

[Tippy78]

I wonder if Cox will be pulled?

 

[Jen2310]

I wonder if Cox will be pulled?

its a week until the geelong game. Its not like its a 5 day break. Think he'll play.

Give Miocheck a rest as was very quiet today

Give Miocheck a rest as was very quiet today

Chris Scott would love that thinking

I'd pull him off.

I'm hoping to see a nice solid effort tonight from the AFL-listed defensive group. Looking ahead, if Moore's recovery takes time, then we may need to call on one of them for the Freo game if Wade has Howe in line for a rest.

I just want to see some form of a spark from Parker. He really has fallen behind from where he finished 2024. Not to be harsh, but I haven't seen AFL level traits from this season. He just needs to have a game where he plays above the level to remind us of why he finished last season in the seniors.

Happy with whatever we get from Hayes, Cochran and West. But they'll be eager to show their skills in prime time under the lights.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

I'd pull him off.

Yeah, I think a quickie today for Cox..

 

[Harry O]

Essendon team ?

We'vestarted with the backline, named all the AFL listed players in some random order and then listed off all the non listed guys.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Really looking forward to watching this game tonight.
Interesting to see how much Coxy will play of this game, considering he will be guaranteed a spot next Saturday night against the Cats. Probably thinking he plays a half to 3 quarters of this match.
Looking forward to seeing Big Westy, Hayes and Cochran.
I'm hoping to see strong games from a few of the boys who have now been on the list for 2 to 3 seasons like Ryan, TJ, Allan, Parker, DeMattia and Steene...

 

[stormskye]

Hoping for good games from HDM and Allan where they display their reported speed

 

[Kes1984]

I actually expect this to be a higher quality game than the Port v Norf game I’m unfortunately watching.

 

[35Daicos]

I'm certainly looking forward to this game, hoping for a win, and to see some of our fringe types put in big performances.

I just wish they'd check before publishing errors like this!! Markovsky played the final game of last season, booting a couple of goals, and showing a bit of promise, from what I can vaguely remember. But it's not his VFL debut, and a simple check would have prevented that mistake!
