View Full Version : Round 21: Essendon vs Fremantle @ da Phone Dome/ 'House of Horror'
Not too sure about who will be out of the side this week. My tip is Ben Haynes even though he has shown enough in the last few weeks, i think the match commitee will want him to play a full game this weekend. If not Haynes it would have to be McGrath who had limited game time. Shane Harvey should be a certainty this weekend. Has been named for the past 2 weeks and has not got a game, but picked up BOG (for Bendigo anyway) on the weekend. Johns or Richards would be the smokeys to replace Henneman too i would think.
Sticky!

Need to make room for JJ and Wellman if they are fit - anyone know if they are ?
Henneman will go out - and cory will prolly join him.
Hope Harvs gets a game - his pace would be handy vs them, plus he's a gun.

sorry guys, don't think Harv's will get a run unless we get a couple of injuries to players. Likewise with Teddy.
Would think that Henneman will drop out for Wellman and Haynes will make way for JJ.

Fitness of JJ and Wellman will come down to tests on Friday. I think both will probably play.
I predict Henneman and McGrath get dropped, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Haynes dropped either. The pattern seems to be that the young guns play about 2-3 games in the seniors and then get dropped.
Against Freo we need pace.
i wouldn't mind if the match comittee went with this
IN: Harvey, JJ, Wellman
OUT: Haynes, McGrath, Henneman
With the possibility of Johns or Richards coming in if Wellman can't due to fitness

apparently Wellman and JJ are definitely fit for this week - but what that means I don;t know.
Wouldn;t mind those ins - Henneman is not up to it though at the moment.

I think that JJ and Wellman will both play.
This should be a great match at the house of horror. Hopefully this time in melbourne we will get them.

Wellman did not train today and now appears doubtful.
Alessio went off early with back spasms.
Fletch's ankle was bothering him a little bit.
Good news is that JJ appears to be fine.
have heard whispers that wellman and fletcher may not be playing, has there been any indication of this other than what Stealth has already mentioned? Could get by without wellman but for some reason we really struggle without fletch :confused:

With all the injuries our guys cop at training or it's a wonder they still go.
