Very surprised that Morton was dropped and is still in the 2's.

Jurrah will play

Joel MacDonald should play for casey

Jounson should play for casey

Maric would have to count himself lucky or he's going to prove he's better suited to AFL football.

Don't see Cheney as a long term prospect

Bail deserves more games

I'm a Jetta fan but he needs to do more and I think he will.....eventually

The team needs a big game from Col

Really hope we put on a performance like the Brisbane game. We need to start stamping our authority over the Bombers for they are ordinary at best.

INT: Jurrah, Bail, Cheney, Maric

I do not understand why PJ would be included in the squad against a team with

one good ruckman after showing nothing then getting suspended unless Jamar

is a possible late exclusion. Jamar's last 2 weeks have been questionable..

posibly carrying a niggling injury?

I reckon it's just a simple backup plan. If the unthinkable happened to Jamar, then sure, he'd come in. But I wouldn't be holding my breath.

I have a feeling Maric will be unlucky again. PJ of course and then Jurrah will have one more game in the VFL. Sylvia to come in as an extra forward option, for the omission of Spencer. And Bail for Grimes. Easy Peasy, Japanesy.

I am extremely pumped for this match, almost more so than the QB match against the pies. This is our chance to get back on winning terms but it is by no means a sure thing. We will have to work hard early, get the pressure on them and get goals on the board quickly. I'm looking for big performances out of Jonesy and Beamer as they need to show the way from the start.

For me there are there are a few factors that fall in our favour:

1. It's at the G, and we've looked our best at our home.

2. It's against Essendon, which should naturally fire the boys up similar to the pies.

3. Fletcher out is massive, he always kills us and it gives Watts a better chance.

4. Jamar, he will dominate, simple as that.

One more thing i'm tipping, a very vocal crowed. Let's make sure the boys know we're there for them!

A heads up for all people using the Frankston line (before Mordialloc) to get to the match:

"Due to track maintenance and level crossing upgrade at Bonbeach, buses will replace trains between Mordialloc station and Frankston station for the last two late-night services on Friday 9 July, and all trains between Mordialloc and Frankston on Saturday 10 and Sunday, 11 July 2010.

Journey times will be extended by up to 16 minutes."

I want (and expect) to see Jurrah, Bail, MacDonald, Jetta

I will puke if I see Johnson, Maric, Cheney, MacDonald

I do have a sinking feeling, however, that Johnson has been picked as Jamar is beginning to struggle. The last 2 weeks have been a lot worse for Jamar than the preceeding 12, and given we played Spencer last week the FD might think a second ruckman is needed to help the Russian out. Not my preference however. Not only is PJ useless, but playing him denies someone like Cheney, Jetta or Bail a game, which just doesn't help us at all.

Does anyone know what the FD want Cale Morton to work on? I thought that it was good that they didn't rush him straight back into the seniors. I am one for you being dropped adn playing a couple of games in teh reserves to build your confidence and show that you can perform consistantly etc. No point yo-yoing up adn down. I hope he gets back on track, I really enjoy seeing Morton at full flight. His run and carry moves teh ball 60 metres at a time.

You forgot to mention 2008, wildly regarded as one of the worst umpired games of all time in terms of us getting screwed.

Is that the Lloyd 'Mark of the Year' game when he kicked 8 goals?

Melbourne screwed by the umpires that day???? Wouldn't have thought the umpires were the difference that day.

Surely we dont have to wear that ugly clash jumper since its our home game?

Its our HOME game... we wear OUR HOME jumper !! as simple as that. essendon need only wear their normal jumper and all is fine.. Their clash jumper with more red would be worse. Weve managed to play these guys for a long long while without getting confused !!! ;)

chances are of course the clowns at AFL house will kit out the umps in RED !!!

There most certainly is a clash between the Dees and Bombers IMO. But, given that it's our home game, they should have to wear their clash strip.

their clash strip has a wider sash !!! that really helps !! lol :rolleyes:

We turn up in our normal jumper...they too... no pobs

Only been playing them for the last 138 years... geez mustve been lucky not to get confused all those years :)

much rather Bail than PJ... PJ is a half trick pony ( very disappointed there )

Heres hoping for that late change ;)

AFL site has Essendon wearing their Home jumpers, dont tell me were wearing our away jumpers!! :mad:

People have complained about the clash for years? Are you serious? It's probably one of the most blatant in the league.

Even the 2000 GF I remember saying to my dad that I struggled to pick the two apart.

Exactly, their clash jumper has a wider sash - a wider, red sash. Therefore this jumper will not clash with our mostly dark with a bit of red as much as their usual guernsey, which is...mostly dark with a bit of red.

No, both teams are wearing their home jumpers, and Essendon has undertaken to work with the AFL to develop a clash jumper suitable to wear in away games against Melbourne.

It was accepted that Melbourne had the right to wear their home jumper in this game, and the AFL deemed that Essendon's 'clash' jumper actually caused more of a clash than their home jumper.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
