Kouta trained quite well. The ball was drilled at him a few times and he handled it fine.
Waite trained very well and moved well. His kicking was also very good which is a pleasant change.
He did a bit of one on one contesting with JR.

Murphy and Longmuir walked up and down the aisles of the Legends stand.
Murph has his arm in a sling but semed happy to get out on the track.

This initiative is part of the AFL rescue package. We have dispensed of the cleaners and the players have been requested to clean the stands as part of their rehab program. Can you confirm that Murph and Longmuir had big green plastic bags whilst they walked up the aisles?

Spot on. Hopefully there is still a place for some emotion in footy. For 5 years I went to games just to watch him play (and invariably rip Essendon* apart)

I was more saying that I didn't want to see Carlos get dropped. And that I'd like to see Stevens dropped for Russell

Not just you King, I'd much rather that has been old fraud Sheedy poncing around in the coaches box than some young gun smarty like GO'D - those initials don't auger well either. The Bomber players might actually like him too. Can't believe Solomon 'accidently' put Sheedy in hospital. Anyway if Sheeds is high on morphine he will probably be far more coherent and sensible than usual.

Maybe we should get Mitch to coach on Satutrday to nullify their advantage. Whatever I'd much rather Sheedy be coaching. The only upside is that id the Bombers win with GO'D and then lose for the rest of the season, Sheeds is going to look worse.

thanks Gerry, so if you were me you would tip .............?

I still lean towards us, just based on Essendonts injuries & outs

It won't happen because Pagan thought he was in our best 2 or 3 on Sunday with his 31 possessions!

Pagan said there would be 1 or 2 other changes.

What's the latest with these by the way?

Is Fletcher back?

Kouta in for McGrath - who after his game against Geelong was shocking against the Dogs - no skills that he has any control over - I don't care how many possessions he gets.

Waite should be in for Sporn but it's anyone's guess as he was shoe-in for being dropped last week and still made the cut.

King I would have been positive the Blues would win if Sheeds hadn't got hurt. I really do think the Bombers will fire up under O'Donnell. But I couldn't tip them. A line ball I reckon, with the Blues to just get up. If Fletcher is out Fev might kick a bag. While Essendon* did well last week the conditions suited. I thought the Blues were good last week. As usual bad turnovers cost us, but apparently the Bombers dosposal is worse than ours!

We'll get up, whether the Bombers have G'OD as coach or not.

Yep... it stinks of that Hawthorn game a few years back.

Still can't believe there is no free to air in Melbourne! Forget ladder positions, any Combo of Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon* is a must! It might not be pretty, but it's bound to be a ripper contest. CH 10 - Corkheads!

Patrick Smith - Just another reason to HATE Essendon*!

I am hoping that Ayres seniority makes Essendon* let him coach.

If Ayres coaches we will win.

If O'Donnell coaches then we will probably get beaten.

Actual changes-
In: Kouta, Bryan, Waite
Out: Lappin, Sporn, Deluca

I'd like McGrath for Russell...

mcgraths been in our best in the past two weeks and his disposal has been ok...we have many worse at the moment.

Kouta in and Waite subject to fitness.
Out is Sporn

Succumb to your highest emotion!!!!

It's the case of another older player taking a midfield role for a huge chunk of the game, doing nothing outstanding and providing no hint of upside, and missing gettable goals.

If Jack is listing the actual changes, I can't think of who else to dispense before McGrath.

And his decision making is atrocious.
Look to the future, JR should be playing AFL footy.
