Changes vs Essendon

We have to reduce the number of talls, especially given we've got Essendon who don't have one ruckman, let alone two. I'd say in that regard Spencer is on the chopping block.

Other than that, Bail, M Jones and Howe need to be looked at, Brayshaw might not get up, and I'm not sure how ANB and Stretch will pull up after the Darwin game.

Casey played well today so hopefully there are some players to choose from. I'm not sure whether Michie and Newton have done enough at Casey to get recalled - they have been sent down there for a reason I assume, and I don't know whether they have fixed whatever they've been asked to fix. Who else is there? Harmes? Will Lumumba be fit?

In: Lumumba, JKH, Newton, Harmes
Out: Brayshaw (inj), Spencer, Bail, M.Jones

Assuming Gus pulls up ok & Lumumba recovers from his mystery injury, I'd make 3 changes for next week.

IN: Fitzpatrick, Kennedy-Harris, Lumumba

OUT: Bail, M. Jones, Spencer

FB: Dunn, T. McDonald, Jetta

HB: Garland, Fitzpatrick, Cross

C: Lumumba, N. Jones, Tyson

HF: Brayshaw, Dawes, Kennedy-Harris

FF: Howe, Hogan, Garlett

FOLL: Gawn, Vince, Viney

INT: Neal-Bullen, Toumpas, Watts

SUB: Stretch

EMERG: Harmes, Newton, Spencer

Harmes to debut if either Gus or Lumumba aren't right. Newton stand-by for the other.

Hoping Gus will be ok.

Spent the whole of last week arguing for Fitz inclusion at the expense of Spence but yet would consider the current ruck tag-team in this one. Horses for whatever I'm going to bed.

4 outs are pretty simple, Brayshaw injured, Spencer, Bail, Matt Jones. Howe as well if we can find a replacement.

Finding 4 or 5 ins is harder.

JKH. Lumumba if fit. Harmes. Fitzy. Grimes if fit.

FB: Dunn Fitzy Jetta

HB: Garland McDonald Lumumba

C: Watts Jones Toumpas

HF: ANB Dawes Tyson

FF: Garlett Hogan JKH

Foll: Gawn Viney Vince

Int: Stretch Cross Grimes/Howe

S: Harmes

Might be the week to try one of McDonald, Garland or Dunn forward as well if we can get Fitzy, Lumumba and Grimes in the side.

This must be a windup?

It's just precautionary.

Precautionary week off then.

Positive tweet from Brayshaw. XRays all clear. Don't want to risk him if there's any doubt but if he's good to go he'll certainly stay in. He'll have fresh legs that's for sure.

we bloody missed having him out there today. Goes to show what a star he can potentially become if the loss of a 19 year old who has only played 12 games, affects our team so much.

Pleasing news re. Brayshaw. I expect him to play next week then.

In. Lumumba, Fitzpatrick

Out. Bail, Spencer

Lumumba is a given, and can come in for Bail who has been pretty hopeless all year. Can't kick, can't mark and can't tackle properly. Tries hard and runs hard but he's the first out.

Fitzy is just a little bit more flexible than Spencer. We can throw him onto Daniher if Tommy Mac or Dunn get carved up. We can throw him forward and he can help out in the ruck. Spencer competes but is a dinosaur and fairly useless in most areas.

Matt Jones can stay, but him being a mainstay at the moment just makes me want vanders, Salem and Kent to hurry up and get fit. I'd consider bringing back the more skillful Newton too.

If Lumumba and Grimes are fit Id be tempted to send McDonald to the Magoos to find some form, we really need him to fire up.

So are we just playing Howe to keep his currency up? Because seriously, he could not be more obviously out the door.

Sick to death of these pea hearts playing for us that obviously have no intention of getting us off the bottom.

I think it's partly this, and partly because we have nobody that can replace him. A disinterested Howe is still a much better option than one of the usual suspects from the 'trash can', and all of our kids that are even close to ready for the AFL are playing already.

He might be in trouble when (if) our injury list starts to shrink.
