Maybe 'rested'
One thing we know is Skinner won’t die wondering.

Well my source nailed it. This also confirms team was finalised monday night - unless I just got really lucky.
Well done lioninthesand AKA lions_insider.
Looking forward to seeing if one of Skinner and Ballenden can grab the opportunity over the next 2 games and be the one kept in when Dan McStay comes back in for the Bulldogs game.
Great chance for Answerth and Witherden as well to try and keep Lester out when he's ready to come back.

Not sorry to see McKenna out. With Cutler back in we have to watch him when they have the ball and get it out wide to him. I’d put Robbo on him. Let’s see if Cuts is running both ways these days because we definitely know Mitch will.

Compared to last weeks team we have a net loss of 362 games of experience.
Bombers have lost only 6 games experience from previous weeks game
So a good test coming up Friday evening

No surprises there either.
The team looks ok on paper provided Ballenden and/or Skinner give us something
Yet he couldn’t start in the marsh cup...

Unofficially
Fair play. Feeling ridiculously stupid right now. Though I am running on three cylinders these days. Little fella is 8 months old and I’m no spring chicken myself....

Fages is channeling Sheeds. Can’t see them lining up like this.
The beauty of Skinner is he is extremely talented, a mature body and yet an unknown quantity for oppositions (and me for that matter). How do you match him up? Or Ballenden for that matter.

Not unless he wanders ill prepared into a desert or remote alpine region.
The really interesting thing for us is how Skinner and Ballenden go compared to our long time forward set up against a middle of the rung team.
I'm not expecting too much of these guys particularly on the preparation they've had but obviously it throws a different dimension into our forward line.
Hoping for pleasant surprises but realistically fingers crossed for them that they contribute efffectively.

Thinking the same thing myself Saucery.
Bombers won't be prepared if one of these guys starts clunking a few grabs
I get the romanticism of Skinner but not sure we can say he’s extremely talented. I don’t think Essendon will exactly be shaking in their boots about him.
hope he kicks a bag but the hype overblown
