ok so if Lloyd doesn't appeal or he does and doesn't get off, who comes in? Johns??? Gumbleton even??

hang on..... *screams into pillow*

ok thoughts?

No Lloyd, No Licha, No Stants. If we weren't already, we are royally screwed now.

i say rest Jimmy, sheedy said he would this year and of course hasn't, perfect week to do it i say....

practically throw the game, get no supporters at the game and hit the AFL where it hurts.... hip pocket

Essendon will not go into this game with an attitude like that. They will go in expecting to win.

I think we can.

Geelong must be laughing soooo hard right now

I'm with you Megan. We have Lucas!! Johns aint shabby at all. My confidence is a tad below where it was yesterday.

If Lloyd doesn't play, Johns is the ideal replacement.

yep im with u guys as well, while it will be harder without lloydy, stants and licha...we can bring in Johns, Hille and Monfries/Dyson. plus Lucas is on fire at the moment and Scarlett will have to be at his best to stop him.

The AFL management (top down) are bringing the game into disrepute by angering the supporters of all clubs by their high handed aproach and decision making bodies eg: Rules Committee, Review panel and overall running of the AFL. the game belongs to the supporters not those up the top on million dollar salaries. Fineing Essendon for a single yellow tape around players arms, short socks, zero tolerance of umpires performance during games, handing out hefty fines for speaking the truth. I would like to see a united movement
by all clubs to oust Dimetriou and Anderson because their time is up. Tonight they basically
angered 35000 paid up members of one club alone
not to mention all the other followers of this great
club. "ESSENDON" Bring on Geelong lets do it for Hirdy.

Johns. Proven he can take a mark, proven he can kick goals. This would be the ideal week to really show what he can provide.

The AFL divide and rule. Right now pussy supporters love the tribule, for instance.

Laycock and Hille.

Play Laycock in the square and Lucas at CHF. Need to make sure there are some crumbers around Laycock.
I dont think Johns is up to it...Gumbleton may be worth a shot, but that may be asking too much for a first gamer.

in: Gumbleton, Rama, HIlle
Out: Stanton, Lloyd, Winderlich

juff · Post by **juff** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 9:11 am

Despite the outs, I think we'll be a better team this week:

Laycock for Lloyd, Hille for Laycock in ruck, Paddy back to CHB

Rama for Licha - would be rapt to see Rama play a blinder, but would be happy with a break even.

Gus for Stants - Stants was effectively 'one man down' last week, and I reckon Gus is the sort of bloke who would be wanting to prove himself after being dropped.

I would give Johns a chance to really show what he can do - if he can.

Did he actually play at Bendigo last weekend ? I cant see where he had an impact and he is not on any injured list

I think you may be spot on Ross.

Sheeds likes to debut players in big games and it would no doubt benefit Gumbleton in the future.
