Round 11 discussion

[Sockeye Salmon]

Sorry to ask who are they? Watson and Hurley then who?

Winderlich and Dempsey are two

[azabob]

Jamar is a huge out too. But Ess are decimated by injury through the midfield with their 2 most imp midfielders out, plus 2 backmen and a key forward.

Sorry to ask who are they? Watson and Hurley then who?

I asked the same question last week and the replies were

Watson, Hocking, Hurley & Pears. Also they may be talking about Dempsey and Winderlich.

Like I said Jamar is a massive out too and losing Sylvia early should really have pushed the game into Essendons hands.

I picked Richmond last time so it was no great surprise but this week I picked Ess and in the tipping did so by 15 thinking it would be a close game. In reality they got blown away.

[Maddog37]

Another team to lose after the bye.

Yes but of those 1 is an important midfielder, 2 is a stretch. Melb got a few back this week but would still say there outs are better.
Essendon are on the slide. We were unlucky to cop Essendon round 1.

Hocking is pretty important to them as well. Everyone has injuries though and clearly Essendon can't cover them. I love seeing them lose especially when 80% of their fans expect them to win every game they play.

[LostDoggy]

I concede on Hocking though I rate Jamar and Davey bigger outs than Watson and Hocking. Going back to my point Essendon on the slide, without checking their past 5 years they have a short history of dropping off after a good start to the year.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd in their B&F last year.

Watson
Hocking
Winderlich

Hocking is their primary shutdown player but also helps Watson at stoppages. He's the only player I've to tag Dane Swan out of a game.

I think you are underrating the Ess outs but it wouldn't surprise me if they slide.

I don't think they will drop as much as prev years but they have been training since Oct so I expect them to start the season better than how they end it. I think they will make the 8 but that is more a statement of how poor the competition is this year.

And yep as Stache said 1,2 and 3 in the B&F from last year. They are big outs regardless of how much we don't like Ess.

Remind me how Ess went last year?

[Remi Moses]

Ross Lyon's coaching bordering on bizarre tonight! Clint Jones doing well on Thomas he takes him off and whacks the very ordinary Dempster on him ! Result Thomas gets possessions galore! James Gwilt in the ruck, Capt Diver in the ruck as well. If we can conjure up some sort of effort we could beat them.

Looks like North will jump us on the ladder.

Did you miss the first half of my post?

Anyway Watson out is as important as Cooney out to us and Hocking would be like missing Picken. They are big outs regardless of how poorly they fared as a team last year playing for a dead duck coach.

[LostDoggy]

The point was melb had just as good if not better players missing.
