Re: Match Committee - Round 18 vs Essendon

Definitely Fletcher, as the footy shows during the week following highlighted how Fletcher might have been struggling and showed the young upstart in number 9 leading fletch to the ball and kicking 5 on him!

Man that third goal is a thing of beauty.

Re: Match Committee - Round 18 vs Essendon

Bit of a nothing stat from our previous encounter with them but of our 8 goal scorers from the 14 goals we kicked, 7 of our guys are likely to be playing, make that all 8 if Hrovat (x 1 goal) is selected. Essendon's 15 goals scored in this match came from 7 unique goal scorers, with only one of them, Ambrose (x 1 goal) likely to play this week.

Their two standout players in this match Carlisle (8 goals) and Ryder will not be out there, nor will their Captain, Watson.

Sure make ups change year on year but we really need to put the foot down against this rabble and stamp ourselves.

It's been reported that Carlisle will be back this week. We will find out in a couple of hours if he's named.

I wonder if he will come straight back in?

Re: Match Committee - Round 18 vs Essendon

May have to go Talia and Hamling?

Going to the East West annual dinner tonight. Hamling is attending so hopefully he is named.

I heard earlier in the week, from Hird I believe, that if he was right that he would come back through the VFL. Maybe there's been a change in thinking ?

You're spot on. Carlisle back in.

No Hamling, Roberts or Roughy?

Geez, we're light on again.

Re: Match Committee - Round 18 vs Essendon

Yep. I'd be hesitant to being Roberts or Hamling straight back in. Hamling is coming back through the VFL.

Concerning. What's wrong with these 3 guys? None were meant to be long injuries but the first two especially have missed a bit of footy now.

Essendon have named one of their strongest sides for the year. This could be a struggle, especially if they have Carlisle/Hooker/Daniher up forward. We almost need to play Boyd to (hopefully) force them to play Carlisle or Hooker down back.

Maybe we're just backing in the likes of Talia, and Dale or Prudden for another week and set ourselves up for the longer game come September. There's going to be some tired young bodies come August. Might be a master stroke in man mangement IF it pays off.
