Can a player come in when not on team sheet?

I think we will cop a fine but no biggie

yeah a fine I believe, we're used to those...

Seem to recall the Pies doing it and paying up.

[Rod Stroker]

Gee, it's not like Essendon to flout the rules, is it?

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Not surprising. More dodgy Essendon tactics.

Settle, sounds like there could be another 2 changes in addition to Clarke.

 

[Gralin]

rumply thanks for starting the thread, I've stickied it and added the poll

 

[Jukesy85]

At least the Daniher move will give North an excuse to cry about when they get stuffed.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Strange in. He wasn't deemed ready when they picked their initial 22, but now due to the out of a late tall, he's ready?

I'm OK with them playing him in this state. Although knowing our luck he'll probably tear it apart.

Nothing dodgy about it.Keep shaking.

Love it.

"We're already breaking the rules, let's go for broke!"

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

this'll make some angry

 

[ApplecrossWC]

It's not dodgy but you get fined for it. Essendon supporters are delusional

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

To me this match up was the game of the season last year in terms of a footy spectacle. Fast, aggressive and skilled footy with the result in doubt for most of the game.

I hope today reaches those heights. I have no bitch with either club and both really need.4.points. May the best team win.

Another late change, Ham in for ? Zaka?

 

[Vindicater]

Don't like it and don't understand it.

Funny buggers for no real reason. If we were going to play him then just name him. If we wanted a final check and this was always a possibility then name him as an emergency.

This is the classic 'We are Essendon, we do what we want' that has worked so well for us over the last 15 years

Unless Clarke has had an issue since the teams being named and they were close to selecting Daniher otherwise.

Agree. Looks like though there will be multiple changes so most likely their hand was forced a bit.
