West Coast v Essendon

[Beer n Skittles]

Hibberd Hooker Baguley
Dempsey Hurley Brown
Stanton Watson Zaka
Laverde Daniher Howlett
Cooney McKernan Langford
Leuenberger Heppell Myers
Z.Merrett Gleeson Bird Hocking

12. 2 of which aren't suspended. Arguable if TBC or Pears would be best 22 with Berger and Brown in.
Dempsey is likely to be on the fringe as the likes of Francis & Fantasia come on.
Stanton will likely handover to J.Merrett (if it doesn't happen by force this year)
Cooney out, Parish in would have been what i would expect had there been no bans.

Its not inconsiderable the damage done to our list.
The contingency plan for our players being suspended probably should have been better than grab some top ups that are relatively done at AFL level.

I meant best 22 for this year

This group beat Carlton by 10 goals. Wowee.

Yeah, i think they were on something that day

I meant best 22 for this year

ah.
who knows.
Maybe:
Baguley Hartley Gwilt
Dempsey Brown Ambrose
Zaka Goddard Bird
Laverde Daniher Kommer
Cooney Grimley McKernan
Leuenberger Z.Merrett Simpkin
Gleeson Kelly Stokes Crowley
Parish Fantasia Mckenna Francis Redman Morgan Tippa to get a bit of game time

He's a little champ. Gets himself in good positions and makes good decisions. And he's a real team man. The main thing that has gone downhill with age is his long kicking ability. Manage him right and he'll be in your top 5 players this season.

I could be in their top 5 players this year

What round will he media decide to start comparing the poor performances of Essendon to Fitzroy?

They won't be able to help themselves.

I gave Robbo too much credit.

I would say Leuenberger, Dempsey, Crowley, Laverde, Grima and Parish as the blokes who can have an impact once the real stuff kicks off.
