GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs Essendon

[dees189227 11,332]

Merett 21 uncontested possessions. Shut him down.

But regroup & have a big 2nd half where hopefully we kick straight & roll home

Does anyone still think we shouldn't be playing BB in / around and out of the goal square?

Kozzie at the drop front and square.

Yes. BB would be handy tonight. Would be leading to the right spaces and competing on the dump kick

[defuture15 863]

We have successfully adopted the Richmond system...

 

 

 

From last night..

Where McDonald? Fritsch? Pickett? ANB?

Our forwards are completely non existent for 2nd week in a row. 

 

Always outnumbered. The system or the execution is wrong.

Sometimes footy is too simple for all the coaches and their ‘game plans’ in the FD to figure out.

[Chook 14,710]

The heat on Oliver in this thread is quite unexpected. 

3rd best on ground for us after May and Langdon IMO.

[At the break of Gawn 3,875]

Goodwin will blame our “connection up forward” , but it makes it much harder for the ball carrier when there’s barely a tall target to kick to. BB surely has to come in next week

[DubDee 22,127]

Langdon, May, Spargo, Jordon keeping us in it

[Billy 2,185]

Gotta clamp down on Merrett & we’ll win

[wizardinoz 2,166]

Anyone else think that goal kicked by Jones was already in the front row when his boot connected? What a joke to show a blurred ball on the replay as apposed to the real time. Blatant effing cheating. 

[Crompton's the man 635]

I fully realise this could be our only chance for a tilt this for the next sixty years but it’s fascinating to hear the commentators referring to Luke Jackson ‘as the big man’

 

To quote Redgum

 

I was only nineteen

Clayton needs to get his head out of the clouds and mind on the job. Poor decisions costing us. Hoping he can turn it on for the second half

We're kicking to a designated spot as if we had three talls. 

We need to hit up some individual targets.

[picket fence 15,839]

Sub Viney of ( knew he neeeded a game at casey) and get Jones ON

It is though. Look at the UP stats.

I was thinking this as well, unfortunately the goal umpire isnt going to pay anything against essendon in front of their cheer squad and then its hard to overturn the goal umpires call from there.

God it’s a trial watching this. 

Certainly not as much fun as it was earlier in the season.

I think folks struggle when he tries to draw 2 tacklers and free up a teammate with a hand pass. His handball to Harmes got us a goal out of it, but when he doesn’t nail it everyone’s on his case.

it's just stupid to not play BB

I get he might take 2-3 games to gel but give him a block of 4 games to be involved in our system
