[pazza]

Backs: Andrew Welsh Danny Jacobs Mark Bolton
Half Backs: Mark Johnson Sean Wellman Dean Solomon

Half Forwards: Mark Mercuri Scott Lucas Damian Cupido

Davies unlucky I guess, but Bullen gets an opportunity for the first time in a while.

As a Port supporter just having a look to see what Essendon's line up will be for the match I've got to ask is Sheedy not feeling well? Where's Lloyd, Hird and Fletcher in the line up even though everyone knows they won't play ?

[Darealrath]

I like that team - just relieved Rio is back and Mcgrath didn't get dropped again for no bloody reason.

How's that Bullen for pace ? I've heard he's a bit of an in and under type.

[Pevers-Legend]

Bullen aint the quickest, but... hes similar to smokin joe.

Fair enough injs and outs, just bloody annoyed we still have the big 3 out again.

[pazza]

Story on the news earlier mentioned that Rioli, even though he has been named, may not play, as his efforts on the training track, weren't great this week.

The news is of the belief that Jobe Watson, maybe brought in for his first game!

[Darealrath]

Harvs just said on 3aw that Jobe is probably a week or 2 away, as he needs more match fitness.

[Essendon Fan]

Watson prob wont get his hands on the ball this rd being an emmy,but would be great to see him in action.
Played real well against the Kangaroos,early this year.

Hope Port goes down,
will be a bit a of fight,but you just never know...

GO DONS!!!

good luck bombers - make sure you pump these pretenders.

Watch out for all the filfth they dish out - especially the ones with previously such clean records as the thug cornes boy.

[go team]

the fact they haven't been named, knowing sheeds, means there's probably more chance of hird, lloyd and fletcher playing ;)
