Laidler still cant get a game.
Very ordinary team this week, lets Port dont play like they did the firs 6 weeks.
Love to see Menzel get a game, even as the sub.
Not terribly confident.

Two of our best players gone....
Don't know what to make of this team!

James Hird and Essendon* FC - #FOREVERDRUGCHEATS

My bench would be: Cachia, Bootsma, Bell
sub: Menzel.

Murph and Jamo wouldn't be 100% you would think too.

Hard to see us winning this to be honest

_________________
We are on our way back...

We re going to struggle big time.

Still no Carrots or Gibbs, and now no Betts and Yazz!

Still persisting with 3 Ruckmen ? FFS!!!!

Bootsma again ?? This guy was rank the first few weeks and is clearly not AFL standard at the moment.

The MC have lost me now....

*Three to be omitted

Geees the side this week would struggle against ports little league!!!

Okay so Hampson and roewe definitely won't be in third out harder to pick

It'd be Rowe and Hampson and Menzel back to the twos, with Rowe on stand-by if Jamo doesn't come up and Menzel to be sub if Murphy doesn't?

Port paying 3.20 might be worth a 50

As long as Jamo is OK, line up is good... backline nice and settled only missing Gibbs.

Waite back is a big plus... hope Rowe is selected he adds some grunt and toughness even if the polish isn't there.

It doesn't make sense to sub Menzel

The last quarter could be a free flowing shootout based on both teams last Q MO in 2013

Kreuz is NOT right either.

I've tipped Port by virtue of having so many injuries this week.

Precaution because he felt it was tight and they didn't want to risk any more damage. How were they to know he'd strained it on the day? Were they supposed to do scans at half time? I thought we hated the club playing injured or possibly injured players, only for the injury to get worse..

And Carrazzo was never rested. He was withdrawn with a minor calf injury.

I know the club is notoriously untrustworthy when it comes to injuries, but let's be fair.

_________________

Apply pressure as a team for most of the day and we win by 8 goals despite the Etihad hoodoo. Play like we did in that first half last week and its gonna be close. Port have been exposed as ordinary of late, and won't play finals. Go Blues.

Menzel needs to shave those sideburns!!
