Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 3, 2025 vs Essendon @ Marvel

IN: Cochrane, Ratugolea, Williams
OUT: Lukosius, Burton, Jones

Cochrane sub
As long as Ratkins doesn't play, It's gonna be 22 vs 24 with his ball use and him sh!tting his pants and turning it over. I would rather have a plodder than rely on Ratkins.

We need tall timber on both ends. If Lord is 100% fit, play him. Finlayson should not be selected but knowing Ken, he will choose him.
 
Expecting

IN: Finlayson, Ratagolea, Williams/Atkins/McEntee
OUT: Lukosius, Jones, Burton

Cochrane could be a sneaky chance at the sub, but not sure they'll want to go so undermanned and young with Moraes and Cochrane.

Also think Soldo for Sweet might occur as last minute change.

Desperately going to need to escape 3-4 rounds without injury here.
 
Esava, Vis and one of the kids - Lorenz, Cochrane, whoever. We're way too short in both defence and attack at the moment. Sweet needs a chop out and I'm fine with him and Vis rotating out of the forward line as tall timber support for George. Both rucks are athletic enough to do stuff around the ground too.

Think Lord gets up 90% fit. We do that.
 
Someone said he was rubbish in the trail game?
Might be a bit early for him.
Let's be honest, Whitlock will never develop in the SANFL. League is a barren wasteland for tall forwards of that height and combine that with Hinkley not able to develop an A grade tall forward, Whitlock has his work cut out for him.

God I hope they don't go down the Esava up forward nightmare again just load up on small forwards and go dirty ball entries into 50.. I'm assuming Lord is injured as well.
