NAB Challenge Team Annoucements

[gabe251]

As an essendon supporter,  I know this too well.  This year is different though.  Different side completely.  This team doesnt know how to play together.

As an essendon supporter,  I know this too well.  This year is different though.  Different side completely.  This team doesnt know how to play together.

Sure, and different coaching staff...will be interested to see how they handle it...last years players with a chip on their shoulder and motley crew who have nothing to lose.

Good to see Cuningham named for the Blues, lots of interest around here for him

[sammy123]

lots of essendon rookies im watching

[Grazz]

I'm driving .... I don't see brad crouch ???? Am I blind

Pull over quick. :P
Nuh he's not named mate.

Alarm bells

Pyke said he'll be fine for NAB 3 and Rnd 1. He is a key for us this year after losing Danger we need Brad to help fill the void, they are being extra cautious with him as i'd want them to be tbh.

Kinda thought for someone who has missed so much footy if he was fully fit he would be playing very cautious including him in my team now lets see what happens in game 3

Agree it's all on game 3.

[fanTCfool]

I'll be watching Fiorinni & Macpherson

[LF]

No Rosa, interesting?

Just heard an interview on 6pr that him and some other older players and talls just aren't making the trip over here but will likely play the 3rd NAB match

Yep was announced very early that a number of Senior Older players will not be playing NAB 2 to avoid the long haul west twice in 3 weeks.
