Changes for Rnd 14 V Essendon

[707]

Yes, they've basically said that they're going to bring in McKernan. If I remember rightly, while he is tall, he isn't all that good at playing football.
Now that I've said that, he'll probably kick a bag.

Never ever encourage a fringe player to play a blinder. Will spew if A. McKernan plays a blinder B. McVeigh is selected

McKernan can normally be relied upon to play two or three decent games a year. It's what's kept him on an AFL list for 51 games in nine and a half seasons.

Gone with the experience of Florent vs Dawson

Glad to see McVeigh suiting up in the NEAFL, needs to get form and fitness and be playing better than Dawson before he gets recalled!

[longmile]

Would be interesting to hear about Dawson

Ressies are curtain raiser for tomorrow night, strange about Dawson who should have been emergency at a minimum. Assume Edwards will play ressies to get the run.

I know, if he plays a blinder, I think I have a fair idea who will be wearing the blame.

[bloodspirit]

I feel for Dawson. Look forward to hearing what the matter (if any) is. I hope there is an explanation.

[stevoswan]

Happy enough with those changes and while I'd like to see Dawson rewarded for his reserves form, I like Florent. Towers has dodged a bullet but I suspect his pace is keeping him in. He will want to be better than last week though!

[Auntie.Gerald]

Just out of interest

What role and match up would everyone go for if u picked Dawson ?

[ugg]

Aliir didn't train today and won't play NEAFL

Whether McVeigh pulls up well from training will determine whether he plays NEAFL

[rb4x]

They have Bellchambers. McKernan, Daniher and Stewart named and we have Grundy, Melican and ... Looks like our resting ruckman will be playing in defence otherwise we will be streeeetched. Match ups don't look great.

[ugg]

Rampe's been playing tall for more than a few years now. We will be fine

Agreed.

Dawson should get a chance during the run in, both him and Olly have been playing well in the twos. It would be good for Olly to really stamp himself on the match and make it hard to be dropped.

Looking forward to seeing Dawson in the twos tomorrow afternoon.

Feel sorry for Marsh but you just feel him and Towers will be in-out throughout their careers.

Really glad McVeigh didn't just waltz back into the seniors, hope he plays NEAFL though
