TBF - can you imagine the media fapping over how brave Essendon were if they actually beat us without a ruckman?

Wouldn't be surprised if Duggan is sub this week
Still young, obviously, and has played a few back to back full games.
Will give us run and good disposal for the second half.
Darling and Ellis to fight it out for the red vest, unless one of the mids or small forwards are having a dog game.

The sub is getting harder to pick now were playing better. On form Selwood to sub, not an impact player but can sure up the game at the end and get a few touches. We need to pump game time into him realistically.
Sheed & Duggan as much as they will have quiet patches I prefer we give them maximum game time. If they can handle it put the hard yards in upfront and they will develop quicker. Too often we've been conservative with blooding players. (some of that is talent based)

Ok so I've tipped the Eagles, if we lose, it's 100% my fault. Surley we have to be able to beat a team with no ruckman, missing some key mids, and that have struggled to even kick 10 goals a game??

With the Dons picking no recognised rucks, I predict a lot of ruck infringements for blocking to Nic Nat/Sinclair. Expect the free kick count to be stacked even further in our 'hometown' favour causing a meltdown of epic proportions from the Eastern media pundits

I think after the conditions last week and the long travel, the time has probably come to give Duggan the vest.
Scooter needs more game time to get up to standard, not less.

Played there in 2010-2011 and did a decent job. This allows Yeo to play in the center a lot more. I back Simpson to get the best out of Selwood and once is fit i can see a place for him in the squad.

(Unique injury) TBC
Was named there a couple of weeks ago and Yeo was named on a back flank last week. Sinclair named at FF as well. It means squat.

Rest Duggin? Why would we rest an in-form gun the week before the midseason break?

No ruck? What are they just going to add another midfielder & wait for NN's tap?

Essendon plane delayed three hours ahead of trip to Perth. They weren't due to have a training run on arrival at Domain Stadium. #hit&run

It's a ******* blight on the game, not to mention from a fantasy perspective too
Just thought this would be a good time to let you all know that I like the sub rule. In fact I would rather they took out the interchange bench completely and allowed each team to have 4 substitutions each week.
Quite happy with the changes this week by the way
Haven't got through customs ?
Yuk! You must be taking the piss. Would change the game completely.

The game has been changed completely...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_(Australian_rules_football)
- Prior to 1930 – there was no means for either substitution or interchange. A team played with 17 on the field (19 prior to 1899) if a player was injured.
- 1930 – the introduction of a single substitute
- 1946 – the introduction of a second substitute
- 1978 – the replacement of two substitutes with two interchanges
- 1994 – the introduction of a third interchange
- 1998 – the introduction of a fourth interchange
- 2011 – the replacement of four interchanges with three interchanges and a substitute
- 2014 – the addition of an interchange cap at 120
