Round 9 - Bombers v Swans - Friday May 16th - Etihad Stadium.

[Ricochet]

Bombers might play better with Carlisle going to where he feels more comfortable....

Then again after having to combat Buddy, Tippett, Goodes and Reid, he may be begging to go back forward!! :P

I reckon that'd throw them out a fair bit and would work into Sydney's favour

[Mailman the 2nd]

If Bellchambers doesn't make it back I can't really see any vantage points for Essendon to win the game.

Of course that implies that the game is Sydney's to be won, and that never goes well  :-X

i'll call it now, if Sydney don't win this one ... no top4 this year.  :o   ;)

Goddard and Watson tonight for SC. 210 please boys.

[Nige]

Brought Hanners in this week in SC as a bit of a POD, hoping it works out. His last month has been crazy good, here's hoping that continues.

Carlisle the sub  :o
@AFL: Final teams #AFLDonsSwans - No changes. Subs: Jake Carlisle (@EssendonFC) and Brandon Jack (@sydneyswans)

Carlisle the sub  :o

probably plan to sub Belly off but still strange

[Mailman the 2nd]

So does that mean he'll be playing forward when he comes on or?  ???

Have no idea. Who knows what bomber will do.

[Grazz]

Carlisle and Brandon Jack subs, Carlisle is a puzzler. You'd think with the Swans fwd line he'd start. :o

[Nige]

Not too sure of the reasoning behind the move... but Carlisle doesn't really seem like the kind of player you'd hand the green vest.

I guess this will either be a masterstroke or a huge failure. Certainly makes it more interesting

[Nails]

Wooohoo @ Jake Lloyd not sub. Time for him to ton up again and boost my AF prospects for the weekly this week.

[kilbluff1985]

think it's really stupid what if we're playing well he either has to sub off a tall who could be doing well or sub off a runner which will cost us speed
