Preview Round 6: Essendon vs Adelaide, Adelaide Oval, Friday 19/04/24 @ 7:40 PM

[justlookingaround]

ant555 is not the coach. He was the only one named by Scott in his presser.

Scotty shouted out Ant??

Why would we drop Goldstein??


What do mean by low stakes? 4 points is 4 points

It's not dropping Goldstein, it's resting him before a 6 day break Anzac Day.
Draper and Bryan can handle O'Brien. Who is Adelaides 2nd Ruckman anyway??

Every Essendon coach over the last 10 years discovers the art of tagging the best mid at least a year into their tenure which results in an upset.

And then in like 5 rounds they forget it. Let's see if Brad suffers from the same selective amnesia that previous coaches suffered from.

Was Durham even tagging? I'd have said he's a naturally defensive player and was starting with Bont at stoppages, but not a hard tag by any means.

We've just lacked naturally defensive players to know how this actually looks.

a game vs west coast is vastly different than a game vs collingwood

You're right it wasn't a hard tag, but it was enough to take Bont completely out of the game.

I've been following Essendon since 2004/2005 so to me, what Durham did is a haaaaaaard tag compared to what we usually see. It's all relative.

Durham was not tagging him. He just beat him.

Durham beat him to the ball and was very much an offensive playmaker.

Bont needed to tag him.

Beat him hands down.

We need Goldy playing ANZAC Day, don't care how it happens but, make it happen.
The man has earned the right to play in front of more people in one game than his previous 20 years at Norf.
So far he has been awesome for us and has more than held his own.

 

[Cold Sober]

Agree with that single change.

Big Laverde fan, but Hayes has over-taken him form-wise. I think we need the height back there too.

DON'T THINK DO.

 

[Cold Sober]

Win we play finals, lose we play for draft picks.

He’s 5+ years older than everyone else. We don’t want to break him. Nothing wrong with a week on the sidelines. Imagine bringing him in fresh for the first bound on Anzac day

got this feeling that we're going to finish 8th again

Finish 8 you're are a chance, i'm very hopeful, as I said, a win this week is season defining for us.

Don't really carry a 2nd ruck man. O'Brien accounts for 95% of hitouts.

First 4 rounds we used Burgess a little bit and last week we used 193cm Gollant as pinch hitter and Tex usually takes some ruck contests inside forward 50.

What about Dyson Hepple

Dyle Longfaark for mine.

I was just looking at this, and from the time you wrote "don't think, do" to the very next post, which is yours, it took six minutes to compose that. I'm trying to understand, CS.
