As I have posted before, it is highly unlikely Embley will get the green vest. If anything, he might be a late withdrawal (Dalziel an emergency, despite not really being a part of preseason plans) but from all reports is he ready to go.
Look at the Eagles bench named. Hams, Cripps, Sheppard and A.Selwood. The first 3 all play as half forwards. Sheppard will eventually play on the wing but not yet. If Embley is named sub then WC have Masten and Gaff on the wing with very little rotations.

Yeah you're right, would I be right saying that Cripps or maybe Hams should get the sub? I'm actually surprised Hams is still in the 22 with Lecras now back to be honest...
Embley has one of the biggest tanks in the AFL he will play and if he holds together will be smashing out the stats up and down pattersons all day!

My post from the player x v player y thread yesterday:
Hams is a bit of a coach favourite I believe. I don't rate him, I think he is a one trick pony and can't wait for Brad Dick to make his way past him.
Nekk Minnut you will be in the vent thread!

Great minds think alike
Very right in that statement, that would be why rookies find it difficult to break into the eagles outfit. In his own right, Hams is a very good impact player which makes him an ideal sub candidate but yeah.. I think Johnny needs to start exploring other avenues occasionally
My tip is Sheppard for green and Lycett for red.
Not regretting Goddard at all. We all picked him for 22 games, not just one.

222 Goddard, Heppell, Thompson and Kommer as emergency
Today is cox, lecras and the man who has blatant disregard for his own safety, beau waters.

Anybody else see Goddards interview right after the match, he seemed a little confused that he started on the wing then was rotated into half back.
As for WC/Freo, only Cox for me (honestly not expecting much as these derbys can be scrappy low scoring affairs).

Raines isnt in the lions best team anymore apparently. He has another player to worry about it.
Goddard i dont think people should worry about, however he looked sluggish and very slow.
Youll be alright with Masten i think, he will play a major role with Kerr, Welly, NN and Rosa out a big hole in the midfield. Just pray he doesnt get the crowley tag.

I dont really see anyone from Port or Brisbane that can touch him (next 2 rounds)

Kornes is a skinny little rat wont be able to handle his inside strength and power. Raines isnt best 22 at brisbane apparently. Has been forced out by Karnezis, Moloney, Beams ect ect

Beams still isnt best 22 imo. Would be very surprised to see Raines not lining up next week.

I will be very happy if Raines isn't selected but he had a very good year last year, it's hard to see them overlooking him. Who else in that midfield will tag? I'm backing Dangerfield to bounce back either way.
Kane Kornes is more of a concern but Danger just needs to use his speed to get a bit more uncontested ball.

Havnt watched the nab cup?
Raines may well play but from what i saw in Nab they are going down a different path
I dont think Port would even bother with Kornes on Danger
Anyway enough talk about one shitty picked player

Goddard and Wright, pretty happy. Think Kommer should keep his spot too so hopefully can do my planned Kommer -> Crouch to catch the two bubbles.

I reckon Redden may get the run with role this year. I wouldn't call him a tagger, but he does lay a lot of tackles and is fit enough to keep up with the best.
I did see Mundy smash him though. I just have never rated Lower.
