Will you film it and post it on YouTube?

Do Essendon** play 2 rucks? Or is it usually Draper & Wright

McKay back helps so much. I expect now that Silvagni can help TDK more, Cripps will be back to his best and our midfield to dominate

At the moment I think we are only missing Weitering, Pittonet, Williams who are genuine Best 22

Looks like

B: Stocker Young Plowman
HB: Docherty Marchbank Saad
C: Walsh Cripps O’Brien
HF: Durdin McKay Fisher
F: Silvagni Curnow Martin
Foll: TDK Hewett Cerra
Int: Kennedy Owies Newman Cottrell (Newnes)

That’s a very good side that should win and win well

Was wondering the same thing. If it's just Draper with Wright pinch hitting, can't Young just follow him into the ruck.
Draper has only kicked 2 or 3 goals this season so don't see him as much of a forward threat.

I am expecting a very physical game.
Our boys are coming off a loss; a painfull loss.
Falling to 7th on the ladder. That must hurt.

With that violent thug Sheedy back in the fold mouthing off, I expect him to encourage the biff.

I expect Draper to target and maim TDK.
They know if TDK's out of the way, licking his wounds, Cripps is taken away from the fall of the ball from the ruck contest because he will be rucking.

I hope TDK is aware of some of the tactics he can expect from the thug Draper.
Draper hasn't been in good form, and that's when he's most dangerous because he knows he has to bring something to the table...and with Sheeds in his ear...

Have to be bigger than the shit they will dish out....a MUST win.

if Walsh does play on the wing this week (as he did early in his afl career) then that’s one genuine star quality winger we have in the squad. we’ve been cycling through a bunch of not so good wingers this season. how sidebottom was left to run unmarked into the forward 40m for pies and to waltz out of our D30 i don’t know but if Cottrol was them his direct opponent he needs to tighten up his D game a lot. he has some decent run down tackles to his name this season but too loose on direct opponents.

Mackay confirmed playing, according to Gerard W on SEN

Also means they can't stick three blokes on Charlie.

It might be just Draper & Wright now that Jones is back

Whilst Sidebottom was Cottrell's opponent, you have to see the work Cottrell was doing (in defense) when sidey was on his own, before you blame Cottrell. Our defenders do play a bit loose at times, and on turnover, our mids are not in the backline to lend support.

Have to get better in all areas, including Cottrell.

I’ve given my Bomber supporting boss 4 goals in for $20 bottle of red.

if we can’t beat them by 6+ goals we are not top 4 material.

that’s fair. it wasn’t just sidebottom running and flicking the ball around too easily in our D30/D50. it was more his uncontested marks in F50 with no Cottrell in sight, even on the wide shot showing pies whole forward 60m after he marked it. maybe he ran to intercept some other player but it happened more than once that sidebottom wasn’t under pressure, the way say Cripper’s opponents were. didn’t see as much of hewitt in that game, maybe he was playing a lock down role, hard to tell from the video coverage. kennedy back in is a god send for all the midfield players as he’s such a consistent and hard player this year. leads from the front.
