How good is Lockhart! Such a terrier but a beautiful kick

Kept lever and got rid of Frost..

Jesus Lever is [censored] useless.

Lever caught ball watching.....

Really don't know what to expect today. A part of me hopes the players are still [censored] off for missing last week and we'll take out all their frustration in this game. The other part could be we come out sluggish and play catch up all day.

If Gold Coast had never existed, Rowell would be in Red and Blue right about now.....

That wasn't even 50m. Went for like 80m! Umpires doing everything in their power to wanting Essendon to win. Again, suck it bombers!

Suck it Essendon scum! That's what you get for [censored] it up last week ya maggots

Wow

I was bored the other night and decided to watch some games back from 2018. Gus Brayshaw at times was far more superior as a midfielder then the likes of Oliver, Petracca, Viney. Yet I feel for some unknown reason he is pushed out from getting valuable time in the centre circle. I do agree to an extent. I thought Oscar incredibly stiff to be dropped against Carlton after he shut down Darling. Honestly though it was one of his best games. So yes its selection like that I too am confused.

If we go by that theory then explain Alistair Clarkson?

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/06/26/report-bombers-saad-far-apart-on-contract-discussions/ Out of contract and no close to a new deal by the looks of it. He is everything that we are screaming out for. Dash from half back with clean kicking skills. Happy to give up our 2nd rounder.

Not sure i am in the same boat with this statement. Dropping Neville Jetta, Nathan Jones and Michael Hibbered shows he's now not afraid to drop big name players that don't perform. It's been well documented that Goodwin is quite close to these 3 players as well, so I don't think there is favouritism at all. I think Goodwin is also about giving players a fair go as well. Yes ANB was dropped after that one game, but to be honest he hasn't performed since 2018. Same as Oscar Mac. I think he's just lost patience with the likes of those two as he's shown to give them a real decent opportunity and yet they haven't performed up to standard. Its no coincidence they're on the outer now. Tom McDonald is really on thin line imo. Put up another stinker against the Cats and I reckon Weid or Brown will take his spot.

Howe is a huge loss for them Had the All Australian spot sewn up.

He was never at the kangaroo's? Pretty sure he went from playing at Richmond straight to our coaching team back in 2014.

Sooooo we're tanking?? Lol Too soon?

In your own little fantasy world. You're as delusional as they come. Do us all a favour and zip off.

I don't mind the Jetta omission. Its bold, and at least Goodwin isn't just playing him just because of his outstanding service. See Jones as well. Jetta is one of my all time faves ( note my avatar) but unfortunately he hasn't had form since 2018, and this year he just looks slow and is clearly out of form. From all reports Lockhart has absolutely been banging the door down, so he deserves his opportunity. Looking forward to Pickett play!

Argh seriously go away. You add nothing on here except berate anyone with an opinion. Its you that's wasting all of our time. Clown.

I've always said social media is the best and worst thing to happen to the human race. Best, I get to interact with family on a consistent base from overseas and stay in touch with friends etc. Worst, it brings out the most vile of humans ever existed. I'm really feeling for Jetta and his family.

The Bayley Fritsch of this year unfortunately.

Hmm interesting that Lockhart is brought in and Jetta on the extended bench.....

Will Phillips also trained with the dees at the start of the year. Going to be a gun that kid.

Two points, 1. Wasn't aware you were a woman. When I see the name 'Jack Russell', I would and many other would have though that. So I do apologise for that remark. 2. I've seen some of your work. You'll berate anyone that has an opposite opinion, or might have a construction football opinion regarding the board, right down to the playing playing list. And no its not a "worse" comment just because I've met the bloke. The fact you kicked up a big hissy fit over that comment, says more about you. P.s If you cannot handle some of the constructive debate that goes on in here then it's best you leave, otherwise you're in for world of pain. I will leave it at that as I do not want this thread derailed any further. Have further concerns, pm me.

But is a intra club match conditioning the same as a real match on a 2pm Saturday? It could go either. We are a bit more fresher in the legs, or we just simply lack good conditioning match fitness. I suppose time will time against the catters.. eek.
