Nah they're playing Casey right now.Best I can think of is maybe they'd already played VFL this weekend, but a) Suck it up and play two games, Essendon had a player do that back in 2002, and b) Keep a player in reserve you dumb ****s
They obviously see White as the more suitable replacement, so are happy to pay the fine for a better chance of winning ... Because Jesse White is clearly the missing ingredient
