Changes for Rnd 9 Dreamtime
- Thread starter Jetboy
- Start date
Quite possibly Corey or Connor, big ask for either of these youngsters to string a whole run of games together at the pace n intensity of senior footy. They need to be able to play some footy without too many shackles n pressure so they can enjoy the game and develop properly. They're getting a taste and showing they'll be capable when they've matured a little. But it won't surprise in the slightest if they're given a little rest n some instructions on things to work on at magoos level.WesternTiger said:
That's not funny western tiger! Saw that. If Newman comes straight back in for Connor will truly be livid.
Vickery the obvious out for whom? No one in the 2s played well( big man that is) , so unless we bring in either Hampson to help Maric out, as Maric can clunk a mark resting forward and allows Griff to spend more time forward to stretch Essendon might be my only change.
Would you bring in Mcbean or Elton?
Joe Daniher and Carlisle played well, yes against the Lions and both could cause us problems as they are both 6.6 and we are undersized. That's my reasoning to bring in Hampson? Or another tall to play forward and hope that with Jack in form, Griff may kick more and force them to make the change and put Carlisle down back?
This is a game I really want to win more than most and still fume over the loss last year when they pantsed us. Or was it the year before? Can't remember but they made us look ordinary and ran amok, no manning, Fletcher starting them off with an easy run and bomb from outside 59 which set the tone and with his 400th coming up I would really want to spoil the cheats any celebrating occasion.

Out: Vickery (inj), C Ellis (rested)
In: Elton, McBean
I'd bring in the two talls for The Druggies. We can handle their midfield.

yeh , id love to win this one too (apart from completing the rare Blues-Pies-Bombers trifecta).... the last few Dreamtime games have had Richmond in sleep mode when the game commenced. I think last year might have been Marics 1st or 2nd game back, not sure Rance was playing and where at our worst in that 3-10 start.
The obvious one is TV for McBean. Anyone else who misses out will be stiff, but they may also want to rest youngsters like C. Ellis and Menadue. The question then, though is who comes in for them? McDonough, Lennon, Dea? I'd rather any of them than just giving Newman a guernsey straight away. I think the telling thing about Newman is, has anyone noticed that he's not there? If his contribution is that negligible does he deserve a spot?

Did his hammy
I agree we need an extra tall here. Elton comes in. McBean for Vickery. Those wanting Newman to come in via the 2s will be disappointed. No chance, he will be there.
So:
Out: Vickery, C Ellis, Menadue
In: McBean, Elton, Newman
I can see us doing this, but I really don't want to drop either Ellis or Menadue to make way for Newman.BrisTiger24 said:
I think the back 6 is settled. An extra tall to cover their height for me is playing negative football. We have an AA full back, Chaplin, Grimes and Batch in good solid form with Houli and Vloss providing solid rebound. Let them worry anout Jack, Griff and possibly Macbean and resting Maric up forward.
Looking at the bombers form
They were tied with the lions at half time but the lions didn't have a second half in them.
They beat the saints by 2 points. If Schneider kicked truly they would have lost that one too.
And they knocked off carlton by 3-4 goals.
We've beaten port and Collingwood in the last 8-9 days
The better form is with Richmond
