I'm tipping Essendon by 20-30 points., Should be a great game. Can't wait! Just wish they were showing it live. 
If all 3 are out then we will lose.

Add to that Stanton in doubt too...
He supposedly had a minor strain of his hammy during lat week's flogging. Not sure if they'll risk him either.
Remember the last time we had 4 late changes - against West Coast in 2002. We ended up winning after a great team effort - culminating with a late tackle by Cupido on Cousins.
Yes, we may be without a few - but let's hope the team can pull something special out of the bag.
Then again, this may all be speculation and that we'll have an unchanged side! How unlike Sheedy!!!!

You gotta question why you'd use a short player to replace a tall player, Bullen for Fletcher? Where the heck is Teddy?!
Exactly! Even Sammy Hunt may have got a gig. But Bullen has dominated the 2nd's the past 2wks. Let's hope Sheeds actually plays him on the ground and not having him warming the pine for most of the game.
Melbourne are rumoured to have a late change too - with Jamar coming in. They are going in VERY tall if this is true. Looks like Kepler Bradley will have a big task ahead of him. Good luck to the kid!

Okay, let's see how the backline would structure....
B: Welsh, Henno, McVeigh
HB: Bolton, Bradley/Lucas, Mcphee
Surely you have to play Scotty at CHB, without him, that back 6 is so inexperienced (the oldest and most experienced player is Bolton at 24).
Play Bradley up forward, that's where he will shine

I have that bad feeling that Sheeds would play Bolton at CHB again... Sheeds, Bolton is only good as a FLANKER, he is not a KPP!!!
Wouldnt be surprised to see Hird play defence for most of the game.
Looking at our backline, Im really missing Rioli's drive out of there. Hope Rama and Spike can take over from him!

Any news on Solomon and Murphy?
I cant see us winning without Fletcher, Rioli, Wellman, Solomon and Murphy.

I'd love to, Mojoe. Regretfully, my "mob" is being neither broadcast nor telecast.
