Changes for Rnd 7 V Essendon

[troyjones2525]

Really disappointed to see Aliir out after 1 game. I would rather see Smith rest his sore knee or someone else out who may be a little sore to give Aliir another crack. Hopefully there will be a late change...

A little surprised to see Aliir make way, but I genuinely have no idea who actually plays for Essendon this season so it may make sense to go small for tall.

Dare I say it; Smith was rested last week. Logical change for mine. We need % not tinkering. With so many ordinary sides this year we need our fair share of big wins.

That's a change that suggests we only need one tall defender (Grundy on Daniher). I don't know much about the rest of the Bombers team either but I'm sure the coaching staff do.

They have three tall forwards in this week's squad - Daniher Mckernan and Brown

[Doctor]

Brown is on debut so he may have been unanticipated. We can always make a late change I guess? Otherwise Rampe and Laidler will have to position themselves very well all day. THat or we're banking on the ball not going inside our defensive 50 very often.

Redman is debuting not Brown

It does seem that defenders take longer to develop. I cant think of a defender (and I am talking about more defending defenders, not attacking defenders) who has really burst into the game. All the top defenders have been doing it for quite a few seasons.
This is where liz jumps in and points out some obvious footballers that I have missed.

Weitering?

Lets not worry about McKernan. Useless as tits on a bull.

Yeah sorry about that. I knew it was Redman but typed the wrong name.

In: Smith
Out: Aliir

Unless we're in for something sneaky that does seem a little risky, then.

Maybe, but given Ted was out, you'd think maybe not. If anything, precautionary.

If it's a choice between Smith and Allir, then the correct decision was made.

Is there a parallel universe where Nick Smith would come back through the 2s after a week out rather than being an automatic selection?
