Changes round 10 v Bombers

[Rod_]

Agree if Reid is out for injury, Marty in (assume fit)

Leave Dre in the backline and Rampe to the forwards / swing man... IMO

Worth leaving the rest where they were last night!

Like Macca in the half backline controlled the play well.

Everitt was good, Bird was better, Rampe is settling in and getting good support now. McGlynn is going really well this year too. Grundy had a coupla changers but I think he got a lot of the pill so it's to be expected. Overall a nice even contribution from everyone

[hot potato]

An abdominal strain must be a substantial injury, how many weeks has Shaw been out now ?

Surely it's time for Mitchell to come in, surely. Dominated again today in the ressies.

Don't care who goes out from Lamb, Bird, Everritt, Rampe, Reid (if injured) - just bring Mitchell in!

His class is unquestioned and from my vantage point he's playing more minutes and running out games well. The things we don't know is how he's pulling up after games. He's had these niggling things with his body for awhile and if they are now under control then his debut will be close.

I heard an interview with hanners today on MMM and they asked about Mitchell
He reckons he is very close and will probably get a game soon, just a matter of when they can squeeze him in.

IF Reid is out, then use Pyke as the full-time forward and bring in White to share ruck duties with Mummy. We need talls for the Dons

No thanks...Mummy is yet to perform this year...And White has never given a dominant display in the 1's, as either a ruckman or a forward.

If Reid is out, bring in Walsh I say. He deserves more than a 1 game chance. Kicked 7 yesterday.

Pyke to continue as our No.1 ruck and resting forward.

Maybe it was a hernia problem. If he had an op then it will take time. I had a double hernia op and it takes time.

Please not White or Walsh. They have proved too often that they are not up to the big time. Essendon are tallish down back so why not stretch them for pace and lead up options. If you put White or Walsh up front they will be easily blocked and knocked off the footy and not given space to lead, not that White has a clue in any of those aspects. I said in another thread that Brown appears to be able to play forward and back so why not give him a go. He has captained the 2's and is bit like Mal in his early years in that he was recruited as a HBF and is being given leadership roles. Otherwise bring on Mitchell.

[Doctor]

We need a tall - it's that simple. Until Tippett's suspension is over it'll almost certainly be White or Walsh. I'd back White in for another go. I didn't think he was all that bad against Hawthorn.

[swansrob]

How has Membrey been going in the Ressies? If not White or Walsh, could he be an option?

[DamY]

Membrey's only 189 or so, same height as Morton.

[Melbourne_Blood]

He's a cm or so shorter than Darling, Fevola, Walker, and he's a big unit. I wouldnt worry about his height, just wether he's ready for a senior call up.

[DamY]

I'd put my money on Alex Brown getting a call up next. Maybe this year we can blood more young uns than we have previously

God I hope we stick it up those drug cheaters.
