Changes for Rnd 20 V the Bombers

I cant tell you how much I hope rohan is available for that game even if i think he wouldn't get picked. it would be amazing to get his pace and tackling back against the bombers who remain a quick side

[Dosser]

I seem to remember in a thread about the magoos that when Rohan returned last time he looked a bit heavier and slower. I hope his time off this time around hasnt been spent at KFC.

Yep. I'm really looking forward to the time he becomes a regular in the best 22.

There is no way that game will sell out! It's a Sydney game in Melbourne. I should know...I've been to so many in my 35 years. Relax.

Last time we played Bombers at docklands was Rnd 1 2006. There were 45k+ in a 53k+ Stadium. Not sold out i'll admit but getting close.

So that would be Round 1 when hopes are high against the reigning Premiers and they still didn't sell out.

Not a snowflakes chance in hell of selling this match out then.

Gotta wonder why it is a fully ticketed game then ?

Well, we got our tickets just to be on the safe side.

If its not sold out and you have a membership card, you just roll up on the day, go to the ticket window, show them your card/barcode and they give you a General Admission ticket there and then on the spot.

Malceski off HB and Kennelly as sub

This seems almost ideal, Irish might need a bit of a nap, maybe watch a game to see what's going on and what he's missing atm. Eski has to play, unless he's dodgy, the sub has to be rotated and if Rohan is fit, well, what then?

All Essendon games at Etihad are.

I would have thought Pyke would be a fair way behind Seaby to get a game.

I would have thought Pyke would be a fair way behind Seaby to get a game.

I think Pyke would provide a more dangerous target up front than Seaby would though, despite Seaby's better rucking skills.

I think we can count ourselves lucky after the losses to Adelaide and Fremantle that 3 of the teams below us who could make up ground this Weekend play the following;

1. NM v Carlton
2. Essendon v Pies
3. Demons v Geelong

I think the Saint's will make the 8 fairly easily on current form so our game against them could decide who may jag a home final in elimination week.

Gee I hope we get up over the Bombers - what another crunch game for the boys. Hopefully they are fired up after their rest. Dan looks so hungry at the moment, Kizza is hitting his straps with Goodes. C'mon boys!!
