Would be a dream come true either him or Jenny!?

True redemption would be beating Essendrug by 187

He's just some bloke off the street... you half wit.

Still need to know from "The Oracle"

Is Harmes ready??

Can't wait for Jones, Vince, Tyson, Viney, Salem, Vanders, Brayshaw, ANB, Petracca, Trenners to play in the same side.

Bombers will bring maximum effort next week after getting spanked, we'll need to turn up or we'll be gone by quarter time

if we dont win and win well against this mob we are done

Oh exulted one!!

Hnmm every coach hires and fires!?

I DON'T KNOW I ONLY GO BY WHAT I READ IN REPORTS, MAYBE ASK SOMEONE THAT GETS DOWN TO CASEY AND WATCHES!???

And if you were smart enough I haven't mentioned once Harmes is ready so don't try and put words into my mouth. Going by the reports personally I wouldn't mind seeing him get a go.

Thank you! No need to shout!

Yes, I think going by what I have seen he is ready NOW!

We should make multiple changes for no other reason than to make me feel a whole lot better and yeah, there's the Darwin energy sapping travel bit too.

Out: Spencer (stiff but the two ruckman experiment is over for now), Bail, M Jones, Toumpas, Howe (Please!)

In: Fitzpatrick (if we need for back up ruck work, otherwise Grimes), JKH, Lamumba, Harmes (upgrade), Newton

I feel better already

PS I'd even consider Riley in as the sub to smash up a few in the last (e.g.. Goddard)

Hell never get Goddard unfortunately he never goes near a contested ball

It has come up numerous times but do we seriously think letting Howe dish up such poor performances week in week out really assists his trade value more than dropping him? Are other clubs really that stupid?

Richmond almost traded pick 12 for an injured Trengove, and were only lucky that he failed a medical at the very last minute.

So my answer is yes, yes they are.

Lets put him on the long term injury list then before he does any further damage to his trade value and his own career prospects...

Bombers will bring maximum effort next week after getting spanked, we'll need to turn up or we'll be gone by quarter time

I don't think they have it in them...they're cooked.

Would need to be a massive turnaround and can only see that happening now if Hird walks or is pushed.

Rd 15: Ess v The Tin Rattler A.K.A Demons

From bomberblitz, (tooks sue's advice and had a look), this how they regard us

You can't trust anything you read on BigFooty but there's lots of chatter that Hird lost most of the playing group after his little escapade to Europe during the bye.

Also that many players were snickering and rolling their eyes during Hird's halftime address.

If he's finally lost the playing group they'll continue to perform like garbage until the club ditches him. They are capable of far better than their pathetic display today.

Just as we happily call them 'Essendrug' and 'Essendope' among other things on here. It works both ways.

Gus was in a neck brace on the news this arvo, said be was still having spasms in the neck/back. Hope the physios get him right for next weekend.

I think spencil will go down this week and Fitz will be in to cover Joey D

I'd say he won't play based on that, upsettingly.

When a team goes in tall to expose the opposition defence you need to at least have players who can mark the ball, otherwise you are not exposing anything other than the fact you don't have the cattle to do the job.

I'm sick to death of people posting rubbish on here about so & so's work rate, leadership, how they provide a contest ...bring the ball to ground.

Contest & bring the ball to ground...we had 4 players in our forward line to do that job on the weekend and when they did get to the contest and bring it to ground WC waltzed away with the ball. A novel idea is to get some players who can mark the ball and a few others who can crumb and provide defensive pressure.

I think Howe in current form is a waste of space, Dawes needs to be traded or retired and we can only go in with one true ruck.

Someone seemed to think those of us wanting Harmes to get a game are delusional, well that might be but his form has been good, he is a tough inside player who can play outside, kicks a goal and can take a strong mark.

I might be delusional but I think we could use someone with those traits.
