I'm curious as to why people are suggesting running types as a replacement for Pav if he doesn't get up.

We don't really have much other choice at the moment. The only KPP playing well at Peel is Alex Pearce. And I doubt we'd play him forward in his first game. We could put McPharlin forward and give Pearce a run back, but that seems unlikely. We could give Apeness a game but he's struggling at Peel.
We don't really have anybody to replace Pav, which is why we have been trying so hard in every off season to recruit someone.
It would lead to slightly different roles for players. If Zu comes in for Pav you would think Mayne would play closer to goal, as he did second half and Fyfe would probably spend more time forward, for example.

On the news they said Pav will most likely play.

My understanding he will as it was a shoulder injury and not concussion.

Surprise surprise, he's actually showing a bit of form. He still causes me to have conniptions on occasion during a game, but he's doing OK at the moment.Reg has been strangely quiet on Danyle since the man has found some form
I gave him 2nd BOG one week.
If you don't have a realistic one-for-one replacement, sometimes you just bring in your next best player and shuffle the team around a bit.
Apeness for Pav as a direct replacement, or would we be better off with the Gu and a bit of a reshuffle. I think the Gu adds more to the team.

Fair enough, I would have thought Hannath might have gotten some love. He's been the Emergency a couple of times, looked good in the NAB and is a like for like helping us maintain our current forward structure. Plus, if we struggled forward of centre without a foil for Pav, I hate to think of what Tabs will be like.
I guess Mayne could play FF and bring Croz in to play HFF.

Zero.
Unless Pav and Walters don't come up in time. Adelaide set a precedence this season for playing Brodie Smith after he got completely creamed. Walters seemed in more trouble than Pav, but I wouldn't be too shocked to see both play.
If Walters misses then Croz. If Pav does too then give the Mammoth a run, or a wacky option could be Gu and shift things around, maybe Fyfe in a Pagan's paddock?
Emphasis on wacky though!

Bring in Zu for the wing, Hill to CHF and Mayne to FF if Pav is scratched.
I just watched the replay. I loved maybe playing deep FF. Really agile and great hands. I think you may find Pav off maybe helped him get a bit of forward line form back. I back him to back it up
If Walters gets up then Mayne, Clarke, tabs and ballas ain't too shabby
Edit : oh and Croz for Pav. Nice

Yep Maybe is a definite this season,all the conjecture of trying to slot him in the back or the forward or out the door.

Hannath in will put a hole in our forward pressure - not worth the cost

Not shabby but it still leaves us in a precarious situation.
Tabs is not ready to play as the main forward target, if he ever will be.
Clarke is not a noted goal kicker or a natural forward.
Mayne played well last week but could still be in a form slump.
Ballas - well you know... it could go either way.
Our midfield has to play well and kick goals. They can do this so I'm not too worried given it's also a home game and Essendon has not exactly set the world on fire this year.

Essendon are vulnerable against quicker smaller forwards - having a less predictable forward line would work this week

I'm really concerned EFC will have a positive emotional spike this weekend; then disappear back into the weeds for another couple of weeks.
Watch out for the rudderless bombers.
