Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

And there goes the Last Time Essendon won a final Twitter account.

If we go in with 3 straight losses they'd have to be clear favourites.

I won't be watching that one either, lest I die.

On the positive side Treloar and Dunks have had a run, I'm not happy with selection I wanted Martin and Gardner but I'll leave my angst for tomorrow night.

I wonder if we've gone with the idea of a smaller side to use our run and maybe exploit their height? I know Bevo did specially mention this in the press conference (their height) so maybe instead of trying to match it they've decided to go smaller.

Clutching.

We should’ve beaten them by 6+ goals 2 weeks ago.. not sure Wright kicks 7 on Keath either.

They smashed us at the source. Should've is a big stretch. 70 points from stoppage.

Not sure our goal kicking will magically come good but hopefully the mids lift. They do look pretty cooked though.

Agree with Keath. No way 2MP gets a hold of him but I'd hope there's some team defence/chop out too.

This is always hilarious to watch. Definitely not the team I would have picked but we didn’t lose last week at selection and it’s unlikely to be the reason we win/lose this week. If the team commit as they did last time we played Port then I’m confident we will get the result.

Yeah I agree with you. We've shown we can play well with this structure and the personnel selected, it's up to them to play as a team and get it done.

Last time the ruckman was Sweet.

And he got his arse handed to him. I get that it's apparently all about structure and not hit outs if we're discussing Sweet rather than English, and with English it's all about hit outs and not structure, but I just don't see it with Jordan yet.

The MC has had a look at him and they probably figure he's not able to do enough around the ground and minor improvements if any at stoppages due his inclusion don't cut it as a trade off.

It's just super important English has a good game around the ground.

And being at Marvel, we have always gone for ball carriers over height in particular there. I thought maybe a bit extra speed but I guess we have VDM, JJ, Baz, and Treloar. Richards stiff.

Don't bet on the footy but to see Port @ $2.12 and WB $1.73

What form are the bookmakers are looking at.

Basically they are just trying to get as much cash in the pot as possible. So they set the opening market accordingly.

Port is very attractive at $2 but a lot of the modelling points to us (they'd use similar).

Agree, it's really on him to stand up now. He's being backed in show us if he's hungry enough. Personally I'd seen enough last week, but I'm backing in the MC.
I don't want to see him get easily out bodied at boundary thrown ins in particular.

Cmon Tim...!

I was as frustrated and annoyed with his performance as anyone last week, but I do know he can be much better than what he displayed.

Intent in the marking contest and willingness to be stronger at boundary throw ins are the two major areas of focus. He is capable, just needs to do it.

Oh no and please God don't let us be the team that breaks the duck

Hahahahahahahaha

we’re screwed, nice season we were having there….

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

Seriously this midfield of ours is loaded. How can it underperform so badly? If we don’t win another game for this season, some serious questions need to be asked somewhere. We can’t do that and go again next season with the same old idea that hasn’t worked the previous 5. The next 2 weeks are huge for the future of this club and it’s current makeup.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

We know our weakness is the ruck. Obviously the MC has decided Martin is not ready and well and truly under done.

I can't see why every one is surprised with the team?

We will win.
