    Not on this site though. You have to be cool and stick the boot in to eveyone and anyone as soon as you get the chance.

        I agree some of the criticism in this thread, ie calling for him to be dropped, is ridiculous. But by his standards he had a poor game, as all great players do from time to time. But I'd think he would probably agree that he is not above being criticised.

            I guess it's Bird (assuming he's fit) in for Heath or MOD.

            Give MOD another go.

              I'm thinking no changes, Bird another week in the ressies before he is selected

                They might drop Pyke because of the conditions and let Playfair or White do the 2nd ruckman's job.

                  Yeah, that would make sense to me, Bird in for Pyke....But it won't happen..
                  Why would Bevo be an emergency given his poor recent form?

                    Think they'll keep Pyke since Essendon have two rucks and Roos wants Jesse to stay at the FF post.

                    Bird for Heath is my prediction.

                      It seems once again we'll be going in with both Pyke and Playfair, on a wet track. Surely just one of these two would do. Leaving a place open for a smaller, faster , more skillful player.

                        Agreed, the selections of Bevan and Richards as emergencies astounds me.

                          Should we read into this post on the site? Going by this it's Bird and Bevan as two of the four i/c's.

                            I'd probably go Bird, O'Dwyer, Pyke & Richards

                            Heaths had a couple of games & maybe a more experienced player like Richards would be a better idea this week
                            Need another ruckman Pyke gets the nod
                            Get Bird in the team now more players to come back in the weeks ahead
                            O'Dwyer was good last week and should have another game
                            Don't really need another small defender like Bevan this week
                            Jetta should have a run in up forward to kick some goals in the ressies

                              It's great to see Craig Bird come back. Hopefully he'll replace Kirk at some stage.

                              Why is Richards back?

                                He's not yet. He was in the 25 last week too.
