Didn't know about the calf strain.
Makes sense. Probably him or Tutt I suppose.
Although, against a weakened Bombers, they might be tempted to play a Cuningham or DVR.

It's a team game and Jones worked really hard, which had been one of the knocks on him. TV didn't give an indication.
Fair enough.
I hope Jones shows some decent form for the rest of the season but I'm not confident that he will.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

If Bolts rewards places for effort, young Andreas ain't going anywhere. He was non existent on Saturday, wasn't involved and didn't look like he wanted to be.

DVR might have been in the picture if he'd had a better game against Port Melbourne.
I would not be bringing Walker directly in. He needs some time to warm up, as his first up effort generally isn't that flash.
Everitt has to stay in the VFL until he makes a real contribution, not just talking to the press after the game.
I would also bring Boekhorst back via the VFL. He was reasonable before he got injured but is too spasmodic as yet. Let him get 25 - 30 possessions in the VFL and then he makes his won case.
Live Long and Prosper!

No to Tutt....Essendon's modus operandi vs us is to be physical and intimidate, even though they are down on some of their physical personnel I dont expect Worsfiold to change what has been successful vs us .....too many flyweights and boys wont get it done IMO...
We need to set the example early and be harder than them and take no prisoners....beating Freo wont mean much if we lose to these maggots....and the worst way to lose would be by being weak and walked all over....

Armfield looks like the only fit option left or perhaps DVJR.

Wise words EB, we need to be strong and bully them and get stuck into that clown Goddard who believes everything that comes out of his mouth.
Would love to beat em and beat em well. >

Interesting re the intimidation...I think Bynne, Wright and Kerridge all add extra muscle to the lineup. Casboult, Touhy Docherty (Armfield if in) and Cripps won't take crap. C Curnow has shown that he won't be pushed around and E Curnow will be in if his brother is.
Stokes, Kelly, Daniher, Cooney, Gwilt, Brown, Langford, Parish, Tipungwuti etc don't strike fear into me and are as intimidating as Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson, Thomas, Jones. The other 'no name brands' mean nothing to me. Zaharakis plays it hard and Goddard is a sniper. If Goddard does start something, put the Irish setters onto him first and work backwards from there.
In that first game against Richmond our tackling and pressure on the man was first rate. Bring that again and they won't have a chance to intimidate.

Based on what I saw of us v. Freo I reckon we'll be all over 'em and if anybody's doing any intimidating it'll be us. Have no fear, we'll be out to make a statement IMO.
Reality always wins in the end.
