TOPIC:

Looking forward to the game tomorrow - will give the tablecloths and silverware a miss and hang with the lumpen instead. Doubt Barnard will tolerate another display like last weekend from the men in black and blue so expect it to be a tight tussle. Can't see Jnr missing out on selection - always finds a way to get picked. Snadden and Murphy should both play you would think. Snuffy likely to fill the other spot if fit. Though it would be great to see young Matthew Burton given a go. Davidson may not be needed because Jono Marsh can go back if required. Having said all that Tassone will probably get picked.

Marshall didn't play last week so he's either left or injured. Burton has always been in the best for Reserves but hasn't been able to establish himself at League level.

So Tom stays in...Max goes out and Ryan comes back in....no surprises there.....

So the team for tomorrow is 

BASKERVILLE  JUPP  MEADE

LEGGETT  McGUIRE  EARDLEY

SCHOENFELD  JANSEN  BOEKHORST

MARSH  DIXON  BENNETT

KOMMER  O'REILLY  BOCKMAN

STRNADICA  ENGLISH MURDOCK

DAVIDSON  LESTER-SMITH  MONAGHAN  SNADDEN

Just the 1 change, at this stage, from last weekend. It is a decent line up and one of the strongest we have had in years. Now just need to get the job done.

I guess then an easy win coming up! Would you say the strongest since 2012 Ti Em?

Probably not that far back but I think for the last 5 or 6 years most likely.

Marshall been out with a knee since the Peel game and out for another few months it seems,  looks like Montuban and Bonomelli not far away - 4 weeks each, Chalmers 10 weeks and looks like Ryan is injured again with a foot - TBC. Think Chalmers and Ryan are EF best two small forwards, be good to have them on the park together at some stage.

EP look vulnerable on paper with R & R out, pretty sure both killed EF last year when they met....Will be a huge concern if EF can't win here, especially at home....no disrespect to EP as they have some talent for sure in that side, but if Monaghan has any aspirations of his side playing these games surely must be givens.....but hey nothing is a given these days for EF fans...just hope.

Hey Rock...nice meeting you today mate. Hopefully we'll catch up at a Melville ammos game again soon.

Bloody hell, another great 3 quarters of football.
Good to see 3 out of 3 today, not often that happens.

Geez STT....nasty is a strong word fella, no nastier then some of your chit chat fella.....pretty sure Buffalo cries into his pillow every time you bag the fella and mock him with those Buffalo pics....

4 points in the bag, one quarter of footy where 8 goals are kicked followed by a goalless quarter kicking 3 points......percentage booster opportunity missed, but good to see a large number of players hitting the scoreboard....kudos to an undermanned EP side minus their best two mids to kick 5 in the last to repair the 3/4 time damage....1.6 in the first definitely came back to bite EP in the end.

Great effort by the colts and reserves to beat EP today....no mean feat considering EF reserves went goalless in the first half last week v Subi and EP reserves haven't lost since 2019.....good to see Jack Williams step up after half time and kick a bag to get EF colts over the line.

FF2....I guess EF were in uncharted territory being 59 points up at 3/4 time...can't think the last time EF kicked 8 goals in a quarter......but as you correctly say it was only v the bottom side....an undermanned one as well......hopefully EF can learn from that last quarter and that game they lost v WP last year.....
