In: Paddy Dow, Matthew Owies, Luke Parks
Out: Marc Murphy (injured), Zac Williams (injured), Matthew Kennedy, Sam Petrevski-Seton

Emg: Kennedy, Petrevski-Seton, Will Setterfield and Tom Williamson

Very confusing

Newnes, Murphy would have the first two that I would have omitted, but the MC chooses SPS. He’s been played out of position most of the year and was far from our worst last week - terrible choice. Give the guy a go in the middle ffs.

Dow in is a positive, but on balance we’ve chosen a weaker side with all of Newnes, Parks, Betts, Plowman, Casboult and Owies all flying the flag tomorrow.

Good luck to all but I’m not filled with confidence.

If we lose tomorrow and there are calls for Teague to go, who would be his replacement?

People have been saying that Clarkson is a shoe-in, but on today's result he has shown that he is also incapable of winning with a below average or poor list.  And the same can be said of Ross Lyon.

It could be that good coaches get the best out of an average or very good group of players but there comes a point where a list can be so putrid that it's beyond the help of any coach.

We need an experienced coach, someone who's proven, someone who coached the big games.

Kane Cornes. ;D

His post matches would be great.
He would criticize everyone...including the coach. ;)

Gibbons, Casboult, Fogarty and Newnes all had really bad games last week where they didn't make an impression on the game. They all remain.

SPS was dropped: I didn't think he was that bad, although his disposal lately had been less than it should be.

We have one ruckman, up against two. I never like that, even if our ruck wins, as losing that player, Pittonet in this case, would be a disaster. However, the MC see it differently to me.

I would like to play Levi in defence, as Stringer plays as a key forward. I doubt it will happen.

Who is going to take out McDonald Tipungwuti? SPS has done the job well lately.

Kennedy needed a game after not playing last week at all. He showed enough against Gold Coast to suggest he deserves one. But I can understand why he was dropped: he needs a game!

I rarely see eye to eye with the MC. Somehow I can't see that changing any time soon.
Live Long and Prosper!

Cue in the rack?

Wouldn't think so...a few careers depending on that not being the case.

Some funny things going on at the club though.
The Worsfold appointment...at this stage of Teague's coaching?
The MLG and Judd decisions are understandable....but why announce them now?

I've been saying it since the preseason praccy games, quick side will trouble us. The cheats are a quick team and play a quick game, I think we are in strife tomorrow. When you look at the outs, SPS is slow, Williams is not quick (Lachie Neale ran him down on one leg last week), Murph has lost a yard. Dow is a burst player, not sure about Owies, Parks moves ok for a tallish bloke. The ins will help, but not enough I dont think.

SPS would have been dropped for his lack of intent when chasing and contesting. He is neat enough with the ball but over does the sideways 15m kick IMO. I would have thought he would have played this game as Essendon are a team he has done ok against in the past when he has played on Tippa.
Owies isnt quick but is a straight kick....
Real challenge for Dow this game, Dons are quick and like to cheat on the outside so he cant be turning the ball over , they are going to run forward everytime he has the ball hoping for the easy kick on the rebound turnover.

Time for Captain Cripps to have a BOG game.

When was the last time? 2019?

If they're playing him injured, they should all be lined up....

Surely we'll turn up this afternoon....

Go Blues.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

A very 50/50 game IMO.
