Changes v Collingwood

[Kaiser Powser]

From looking at what knights said at training yesterday the following players will not being going out of the team...

winderlich, zaharakis, melknshaw, colyer...
plus despite what many supporters think, slattery isn't going anywhere, he is one of the first picked every week (not a quote from knights, but its a fact)

and that 'davey and prismall' aren't too far away, 'i just don't know when there next AFL game will be' so count them both out of contention, unless it is all smoke and mirrors

and that stanton, monfries (altho coming off a quad injury), mcveigh, more or less, will all play

howlett is injured

so with that, you would have to think that the players in danger of loosing their spots would come down to:

houli, williams (suspect ankle), dyson, welsh, lonergan.

having said all that, todays match day training session could sway a few decisions either way, jump onto the essendonfc.com.au website at 4.30pm so get a live link to the naming of the team.

personally, if houli, lonergan, myers and gumbleton stay in the side and davey, prismall and neagle sit out... again, it'll be another loss for the dons this sunday

I certainly recall reading that Knights said that kids would make way for some mature bodies. Sounds like Mels and Colyer could both be in the gun.

I can remember that too but on the efc website it says we are expecting to have up to 6 players play in their first Anzac game, it mentions Melks and Colyer.

Looks like it's more like this (not sure why kids are in the gun...what kind of message does that send?)

In: Stanton, McVeigh, Monfries
Out (should be): Winderlich, Welsh, Dempsey (but will be) Houli, Williams, Lonergan
