Changes for Essendon (official teams named)

[giant]

How about our Lepitsch (sp?)? Play back and then move fwd and kick a few goals when needed.

Have you watched Lake this season? Kicked plenty of goals this year, just about the best in the comp atm for mine. But yeah, I'd settle for a Leppa too, especially as they both have that ranga thing happening!

I see him as more of a Goddard. He's definitely going to have stints forward, back and in the middle. And he'll probably win us games from all those positions over his career

I'd be surprised if Rohan ends up as a key defender.

I hope he doesn't. He's too dynamic. You need kids like him to grow up and be the match winners. Not saying he couldn't do that from the defensive line but he'll do it better up forward. : )

[ScottH]

Oh Scotty, I assume you are playing with our heads....Heath played his 3rd game and didn't make a perfect decision....I have also been know to have made a poor choice once....it happens.

Primmy I was just lumping him in with the other 2 who made bad choices.
Heath seems to have some skill and nous, but needs to speed the decision making up in the big time.

I made a bad choice once, but I don't tell here that.

FLetcher to contest his one-match ban tonight.

Buddy accepts ban, Fletcher fights - AFL.com.au

So he'll get off then. As is our luck atm.

He was always going to contest because he wouldn't get extra weeks if he contested the charge and failed. His defence would be along the lines of, "I was trying to tackle Barry but the desperate lunge made me lose my balance and I ended up ankle tapping him" The fact that he is a serial tripper will probably work against him in the end. The showed at least 5 incidents on OWAAT last night.

My thoughts exactly! I will be a @@@@load more confident of winning with him out

[sWAns63]

He's quick off the mark would be great around the hit outs hope he becomes a midfielder

[jono2707]

I hope he turns into a Steve Johnson type goal scoring excitement machine in the forwards, with the occasional foray into the midfield...

[UglyDuckling]

There are a few ways he could go i reckon he could be an excellend Andrew Mackie type rebounding defender (i think mackie was rohans favorite player too) or a brendon goddard type who will eventually move into the mid field.

As a forward i dont know if there are any real comparisions in terms of size and speed. he could play as a high half forward, think robert murphy, pushing up into the midfield using his running power and speed to burn opponents off and pushing hard back into space as well as providing real defensive pressure and tackling in the forward 50 when the ball goes to ground.

If he bulks up enough he could even play as a KP forward he is 85kg now as a 18-19 year old there is nothing stopping him getting to around the 95 mark and being a running key forward like riewoldt (193) or pavlich(192cm) just a touch shorter (190cm)

Conclusion i have no idea where he will settle or what his best position will be. Hows that for a strong opinion

What a position to be in! It just shows how versatile and skilful he is (and will be!)

Fletcher cops a one-week ban. Admits he tripped opponent, but it was an accident. Yeah right.


Fletcher loses at tribunal, will miss one match - AFL.com.au

A one week ban is still good for us.
