Re: Round 11 discussion

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

I noticed.

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.

Re: Round 11 discussion

If you finish outside the eight you're better off finishing nearer the bottom.

I tend to agree but GWS get all the best picks this year anyway.

I noticed.

Not very well
So only Jamar was out but Essendon were decimated.

Re: Round 11 discussion

the word 'too' would indicate that I didn't think he was their only out. However Davey has been shit this year and Grimes is missing every 3rd week.

Re: Round 11 discussion

Davey 4th b&f and Sylvia(injured in match) 5th b&f were melb top brownlow vote getters. Jamar was AA and 3rd b&f.
Add Grimes, Garland and a stack of young players.

Re: Round 11 discussion

Also Essendon had a break while Melbourne had number iffy as they were coming back from injury.

Re: Round 11 discussion

Davey is having a shocking year. Based on his form THIS year, him being out of the team was no big loss.

So we can only look at this year for Melbourne but not Essendon. I'd take Davey over Winderlich or Hocking even this year.

Re: Round 11 discussion

Hocking has been one of Essendons best. Melbourne were contemplating dropping Davey.

i don't even know what we are discussing any more.

I have said that Jamar is a massive out. I have said that once Sylvia went down Essendon should have won and yet still Chops is arguing. Apparently saying Ess were decimated through the midfield was too much.

Re: Round 11 discussion

Hocking basically has the same stats as Davey so far this season yet Davey should have been dropped and Hocking has been great. I would thought Melbourne were more depleted than Essendon because they had just as good and more out.

Re: Round 11 discussion

Then you haven't been watching much of Melbourne and Essendon this year.

Neither teams much nor I have I been sucked in by the essendon media hype.

Re: Round 11 discussion

Seriously, why bother going back and forth on Essendon and Melbourne players? With everyone trying to get the last word in, this could go on forever.

Just wait for Chops to reply on your post.

Ah stats, good old stats. They never lie.

There's as much proof in stats as an opinion.

I'd rather reply to yours, you're good at ignoring facts.
