Huge game vs the Cattery
Massive season defining game next Saturday night- no more Mr nice Hirdy at the slection table please, players need to be put on notice!
Fletcher surely will be rested, Watson is also in doubt and I would be dropping Bellchambers and Ambrose to start with. Who comes in? Gwilt or McKernan for Fletcher? Is Zaka available? Is it time to unleash Edwards and Laverde?

Re: Huge game vs the Cattery
Zaka should be available and at Etihad should be ok fitness wise to come straight back in.
I wouldn't discount Browne to be a surprise call up if Watson misses
Gwilt was good enough in the VFL to warrant selection if Fletch doesn't get up, Laverde couldn't hurt either to add some marking power to the forward line
Belly out and McKernan in if we are serious, get belly fit before he plays

It was a huge game yesterday. How badly they blew it makes next weekend just another game.

Re: Huge game vs the Cattery
I would drop Bellchambers and bring one or both of Giles and McKernan. Fletcher is injured - bring Gwilt ( he never deserved to be dropped after we beat the Hawks no less). Alex Browne deserves go. If right - perhaps in for a proppy Chapman.
Why I want Giles in is when played for GWS he was a strong big bodied ruckman who could mark around the ground and go down forward and kick a goal. Some players just don't play that well in the seconds and then are much more capable in the 1s.
All I know is we need to reward those that are playing well in the seconds and do something about Tom.

Any Essendon supporter watching this game is either a masochist or so one eyed it's crazy

Re: Huge game vs the Cattery
I for some reason have flights booked to Perth in 2 weeks. I love to torture myself. Maybe we'll turn it around by then...maybe we'll get even worse. We'll be without Jobe most likely next week. A positive is that we have Geelong off a 6 day break from Perth. That's all I got.
Re: Huge game vs the Cattery
Curry Night with the In-laws - or the Cats at Etihad.
I'll let you know after team selection.
And - for the record - 37 years a member and have only missed Melb games when I've been OS.

Hard to see us getting close against the Cats.

Cats are tanking and have stated they are in full on rebuild mode.
If we don't win this at the safety of Etihad then we'll be just behind Carlton in terms of where we are at.

Re: Huge game vs the Cattery
We've lost to one team currently outside the 8, North who are on the same amount of games as us.
3/5 of the other teams who have beaten us are in the four and unbeaten freo are the only team who has given us a touch up.
We are 1 game outside the 8, 2 games outside the 4 in what looks like shaping up to be a very close year.
We have not been playing anywhere near our best and are still in the running.
I think we're a fair way off panic stations.

At least with Curry you know what you are getting. With Essendon you will think it's just wind, trust your instincts and quickly find out it was much worse.

Hawthorn being our only hope this season. 7 weeks ago.
Played well but lost to a very under-done Sydney
Barely beat Carlton!!
Barely beat St. Kilda.
Lost to Collingwood which was there for the taking on the big stage.
Found a way to lose against North Melbourne.
Were in trouble against the lions - avoided by a big 3rd quarter effort.
Found a way to lose against Richmond on the big stage for Fletcher#400.
I just keep hoping we'll come good, they need to be getting better each week, not worse.
