Remember this is the EOYF year chaps.....two nouns, one pronoun and one adverb.

Why were you against  Mitch? He is in my mind a very serviceable forward. Marks Kicks a couple per game  and chases and competes. What is not to like? Hope he shows his worth today making the most of this opportunity in a crowded talented team.

Nothing against him was just not my initial thinking. My wife supports Essendon so have watched him closely and was amazed they delisted him when they did. He is a hard working forward who has a knack of kicking goals and taking marks but the one thing he has never been good at is defensive pressure. Granted nor has Fritta before 2021 and you could argue most of our forward collective. I actually thought they would play Melksham in the Fritsch role and hence we would need to bring in another runner. Brown coming in fit and in form as a third tall lead up is the I agree the better.

There has been plenty of talk about the injuries to Weiderman, BBB, May and Fritsch.

No love for Harmes apparently. 

Even less love for Smith, Vanders and ... well I guess there are others, but their names dont readily spring to mind.

Harmes is also injured.  Broken wrist.

I know that. My point was that there has been discussion about other injured players and the effect of their absences on the team, but none or precious little about Harmes.
