Essendon have dropped Cox (rested) and brought back Zaharakis. Guelfi in Stringer out - as per the injury sub replacement in their previous game against GWS.

Very strange selection policy picking only 5 Backman but 6 small forwards (Henry, Shultz, Switkowski, Crapden, Walters, Colyer). Jlo must be very confident our midfield will destroy Essendon so the ball is permanently in our forward line.

How blakely isn’t in the team is bewildering.
My bet would be Aish back and Colyer to the wing, Colyer was playing as a real high hff in the last half on the weekend and did it pretty well.
Been pretty strange all season.
We seem to only be able to win when our midfield is in complete control. Problem is that our midfield isn't that great as soon as any decent team turns up the pressure.
Forward line apart from tabs only looks good with lots of entries and the defense a shambles , even more so since Hughes/Ryan went down.

Blakely is a victim of our bewildering no height policy

Blakely was good last week, granted. At the end of the day he was the last mid added (not replacing another mid either) and you’ve got Cerra coming back. It is hard to fit Fyfe, Mundy, Blakely, Cerra, Brayshaw and Serong all through the same midfield.
The obvious solution is Fyfe goes forward ... but until you can trust his goal kicking more - he has to spend most his time on ball.

Longmuir hates Blakely. A blind msn can see that. He only ever gets a game (a) when the injury list is so long there is literally no one else or (b) as the medical sub after an inevitable early injury.
If he’d come in last week and had 40 touches longmuir would still not have picked him ahead of Tucker this week.

I'd say hate is a a very strong word in this situation. He doesn't hate him but he's definitely not J-Lo's preferred option.
Hey...
Time to review the "bilind man" and "blind Freddy " references?
Its silly.
Blind folk are not stupid.
Im tryin not to be preachy, think about it.

I think Crowden should replace Conca in the role of lock down small defender. Switta effectively replaces him in the forwardline so he’s not required there, he has the pace, his kicking is safe enough in the event that he gets it, and is very solid defensively.
Crowden isn't tall enough. He'll have trouble spoiling high marks I think.
Basically every game this year there has been a strange selections resulting in a very unbalanced team. Midfield has to completely dominate to even be competitive and off set how much essondon will score again our junk back line and small forward line where they will run a muck with intercept marks
This is the reason i see no place for Thorne on our list.
Selection isn't easy to understand right now. Would love to get an insight into Match Committee decision making

Good smalls have a place.
Unfortunately we have to many on the list that shouldn't be there.
Do you think he can make it at AFL level do you?
You're probably right with that assessment but that's the way it is.
No not yet. Too light.
Does JLo know what he's doing?
