Time to hit the second half of the year with a refreshed mindset and outlook to attack the next 13 games hard! Glad we have the Demons this week coming off the bye should there be any "bye fatigue" if you would call it that... teams have come off it very sloppy and lazy. Melbourne barely have a full team to choose from so I'm 99.95% confident of a win at least... how much is the question really.
Ins - Hurley? Watson? wonder where they are injury wise?
Outs - ??? you tell me ha.
A lot of players need to start pulling their fingers out and do something or else they should be sent to Bendigo. Ryder particularly...will never happen probably....is the biggest on my list to improve he has been very disappointing so far. Crameri I hope regains his top form again would love to see him kick a bag Friday Night. Will we persist with the 3 talls?? Haven't checked the weather conditions but regardless of that it's time to abandon it I think, well if not this week, soon. Perhaps Melbourne's lack of height could be exploited. But if the forward line is set up as poorly as it was against Richmond then there could be a slight worry. Others things...hope Stanton got his head together over the bye, hoping Heppell, Lonergan, Howlett, Zaharakis keep up the good form shown prior to the break but overall a more solid team effort. We should absolutely belt the Dees but you can't guarantee anything as always but we haven't really played outstanding football since Round 3 v St Kilda, deliberately excluding GC game, so want to see that polished football return. We've been lucky to get away with some games.
Looking forward to an Essendon home game on a Friday Night at the MCG!!! As it should be! Really excited for our first Friday Night match this year and expecting a decent Essendon crowd to cheer the boys on.
