No Saddo.....but Alessio out!!!! YAY!!

[Sanecow]

No amount of Johnsons can save them!

[Sanecow]

I hope Bolton and Bolton double-team Bolton at some stage of the game.

[Jon]

so what's the deal with Micky? Some people are saying he won't play. Anyone seen him training?

Barnard's an interesting one. He kicked about 3 goals against us in that classic encounter last year.

Hmm. Looking forward to the Ricky Mott end of the ground finally getting renamed!

[penga]

i thought our interchange bench looked strong, then i saw that warfe is in the back pocket

[Red]

Alessio will play all right. Seeing as he's named as an emergency, it's almost a certainty. It's just some Sheedy foxing, something that he -- and Roosey for that matter -- do all the time.

'Pleased to see Cressa back, I just hope that Mickey gets up in time. Saddo's injury must be pretty bad to be keeping him out for so long. Maybe we'll see LRT in defence this time?

[Charlie]

In a surprise move.... Goodes on Lloyd.

Bolton (C) on Barnard.

Schauble on Lucas.

Kirk on M.Johnson.

Crouch on J.Johnson.

Warfe on the pine.

[Cheer Cheer]

I would swap bolton onto llyod and warfe on barnard.
If we are going to win the game goodes cannot play on llyod.

We need Goodes around the ground, not stuck at full back. Seems they dropped Alessio because they want M.Bolton to run with Goodes.

C.Bolton on Lloyd.
J.Bolton on M.Johnson
Barry on Lucas
Warfe on Barnard
Kennelly on Rioli/Cupido
Williams on Mercuri, again.
Kirk on Peverill
Crouch on J.Johnson.
Schauble to go up forward again?

If we are going to win the game, Warfe cannot play on ANYBODY!

I think we might see Schauble on Lucas. Peverill is their number one tagger so I don't see much sense in him and Kirk playing on each other. I think we'll see Kirk on J Johnson. Crouch on Rioli. He probably isn't big enough for Cupido but Warfe might be able to cope. I don't think Kennelly has the defensive nous yet to play on a "tricky" forward such as Rioli or Cupido and giving him such a role would probably limit the drive he can provide from the HBF.

On paper it doesn't look as if our defence matches up particularly well against their forward line, but I suspect they will struggle against ours also, especially if Magic is fit. As with most games where the forward lines look better than their respective defences it will come down to the midfield. And although the Essendon team is bigger and stronger than the Swans, if we play well I reckon we can make them look quite slow, as we did the Lions for most of that game.

are they all blond? Amusing how the match will be called

[Plugger46]

Schauble must go forward, too costly down back. Although my personal opinion, is he is very average, all around the ground.

[Roscoe]

At last I may agree with here Plugger, Schauble (to me) is not tthe player he once was. I think he can be of value up front.

Mind you with Saddington out he's our tallest defender

I'll put the acid test on you - who is better Schauble or your love-child Warfe ?
