Lloyd out against Bulldogs

[FrediKanoute]

Beware greeks bearing gifts???? Oh no that's for the incentives to play interstate games.......

Beware bears with wounded paws???

[bornadog]

If I was Knights though, I would be tempted to throw Hille forward, play McPhee back (on Welsh) and Ryder into the ruck to really try and out-run us.
That is just me though.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is what he does.

Beware the Bomber with only one bomb???
I think that might have been a japanese saying.

Who is the bomb?

This makes me more worried. At least we had a longer turn around than they did. Our runners are going to need to work very hard.

I thought he might have played forward anyway. Now I definitely think he will.

Perhaps by naming this line-up Essendon are actually thinking ahead of the curve by realising our team simply isn't that 'small' these days. Who - for example - will Wight play on?

That said, if we can find a way to get Hahn to play on Ryder (as the teams are named), I wouldn't actually mind that. If I was Knights though, I would be tempted to throw Hille forward, play McPhee back (on Welsh) and Ryder into the ruck to really try and out-run us.
That is just me though.

Are you suggesting both Laycock and Hille in the forward line at once?

We'll all get sore necks watching the ball come out that fast.

And no one to ruck for them. Not sure how realistic this is.

I am pretty sure he had Ryder in the ruck.

Ryder in the ruck? i feel sorry for Mal Michael, be 4 onto 1

Its a bit of a worry with Lloyd and Lucas and co being out.

Remember last year when we played Adelaide after we were on a winning run. Adelaide had half of their side out. We practically played their reserves.

They thrashed us.

We do not learn by our mistakes.

I was thinking the same thing. I can remember a few times when dangerous goal kickers are out injured or suspended against us and you think you have it in the bag but then someone bobs up and snags a few goals.
Didn't someone from the Tigers do that to us a few years back?

[ledge]

Who is the bomb?

No idea they are running pretty thin...Davey?? Lovett Murray? Johns?

[hujsh]

I think he may still play (based on something in the Footy Show opener)

[ledge]

but he isnt in emergencies so can he still play?

[Mantis]

The Footy Show opener hinted that somoone who has been named will not be playing... Not the other way around.
