We play well under the roof. We will be refreshed and hopefully get some players back from injury.

Re: Round 6 - Essendon v Brisbane Pre-Match Discussion
Jonathan f****** Brown (that is his actual middle name) will be the worry as usual. Has been playing some pretty ordinary football but will no doubt fire up for us. Without Hurley they'll have the luxury of throwing the paddle pop lion up front as well.
We should thump them, but if our trend of playing at our opposition's level is repeated then it could be a black day.

Re: Round 6 - Essendon v Brisbane Pre-Match Discussion
I love big JB, but he looks like a shadow of his former self. If he kicks more than 3, then its only our poor defensive efforts to blame.(predominantly from the midfield...).Sismis wrote:Jonathan f****** Brown (that is his actual middle name) will be the worry as usual.

Re: Round 6 - Essendon v Brisbane Pre-Match Discussion
Should in all reality win the game quite comfortably, reckon we will see Dempsey and Colyer come in for Hibberd and Dolly...
Brissy have a pretty good midfield, but we have better first hand mids, will be really disappointed if we didn't win by 30+

It's been less than a week since BJG joined the Red and Black, but already the world is a far better place.

Pears listed as soreness
10 days and still sore? Give it a rest clearly either dropped or injured

Re: Round 6 - Essendon v Brisbane Pre-Match Discussion
Must admit, not overly concerned about Pears missing, I think his form hasn't been the greatest this year. Would prefer to see Hooker back there at this stage.
Who else is in?

Re: Round 6 - Essendon v Brisbane Pre-Match Discussion
Never mind, just seen it was NLM, Demps and Colyer...
Pretty happy with those in's, would be happier if it also said Hurley

Re: Round 6 - Essendon v Brisbane Pre-Match Discussion
Really hope Brown doesn't have abig one on Hooker and Pears.. We are a bit light on for height at both ends this week!
Great to have Demps and Colyer back!!

Hooker I think list listed 197cm, Fletcher at 198cm, Carlisle is around 194-195cm.
Pears is only 191cm and Hurley 193cm. So missing those two haven't really robbed us of that much height, particularly down back. The question is whether Fletch/Hooker/Carlisle have the physical strength to go with Brown, the only one I reckon who could have is Hooker.
Would assume Hooker goes to Brown with Fletch looking to zone of his man and come over the top as the third man up in marking contest between Hooker and Brown.
