One of the most beautiful moments I've experienced in footy was last weekend right at the end of the match when Merrett passed it on to Hepps. I don't know why exactly but it was just amazing, I can't put it into words

The sad truth is, that in spite of a horrible 7 weeks for Geelong, they will lift big-time against Essendon. They always do. Only a truly improved Bomber side can win. Toss a coin.

This is a game we simply must win if we're gonna be genuine finals contender rather than making up the numbers as we have usually been before. Geelong are in poor form and have some missing players and we get the luxury of playing them on our home deck despite it being their home game. Dangerfield is in after successfully overturning his suspension but Hawkins out frees up Ridley to play on someone like Neale which frankly should be a massive mismatch favouring us. I think this game will be won and lost in the battle between their Defensive 6 vs our Forward 6. If we tag out Stewart as all teams should be doing now then I genuinely can't see anybody on their squad being capable of either effectively moving the ball out of D50 or containing Stringer, Wright and Langford. This match will show where we really are, the media are hyping us up at the moment locking us in for a Prelim berth, I don't have that same faith at this moment but beating Geelong this weekend is a non-negotiable for team who is looking to have that sort of finals impact.

i think the bombers will get up, the boys will get it done for dyson. hawkins has always feasted on the bombers so without his firepower the cats forward line looks less threatening. I dont envy Bad Scott and the selection choices he has to make, im sure it will be mind games trying to predict what his brother will be doing as well. but i think either jones or wright should be dropped as neither has shown anything in the past few weeks, bring goldy|brian back in as deKoning will be too much for our rucks if they are solo.
@Alby911
3 ай бұрын
Sam DeKoning isn't anywhere the level of Tom DeKoning(Blues) when it comes to rucking; Draper solo will do just fine. Goldy has been terrible the last month and there's no need for two rucks if the weather is slippery imo

Nah Sam Dekoning isn’t as explosive as his brother. Id say keep jones in because he can play up on that wing and did really well. And Wright won’t be dropped because he usually takes the best defender on the team to let stringer and langford do there thing.

After watching Brad’s press conference for this week, here is what I think will happen: Goldy in Caddy out - one if Wright, Caddy and Jones will have to make way. Given he’s only played 2 games I think it will be Caddy. Wright to stay up forward and Jones to the wing. Gresham in Cox out - Could be Jones, but considering he had less touches than Jones and looked to jarr his knee before coming off, wouldn’t be surprised if he was managed/played VFL this week. Lastly, we might bring in another midfielder to improve our clearance/contested efforts which could lead to: Setters/Hobbs in Menzie out Hind sub

I said a few weeks back that GCS and Carlton were litmus tests for the Bombers, and they were but in both games the bombers gave themselves the opportunity to win. The next three matches, starting with Geelong, will be a similar reality check. I think with the current short injury list the bombers have every chance of winning against Geelong.
