If fit: Play
If not fit: Wont play
I think Lovett will come in for Hird and Watson and Hird will come back after the break

Essendon will be ****ed when the AFL and the betting agencies enforce a rule of no late changes. We are serial offenders. We'll be starting games with a player or two short.

It won't happen.
The late changes is a joke, but a lot of times it is caused by the AFL insistence on picking a team by Thursday. Teams have to be in by Thursday at 5PM. If we play on a Sunday there is almost three complete days before the game starts.
A lot can happen in those three days, if a player is some chance to play he is going to picked in the hope he gets up. If you don't pick them, they can't play.
