Rd 18 Late Changes

[Mulletman]

I'll kick us off with an important one for some (esp Super coach).

Josh Drummond is out tomorrow night for the Lions and will replaced by Matthew Moody.

Possibly Mitchell, Franklin, Crawfors, Lucas and Fletcher from the hawks ess game

Essendon have picked both Gumbleton and Johns on the bench in their final 22, which makes me think that one or both won't come up.

why would mitchell be in doubt? just cause he was a late withdrawl last week?
hes named....
are there any sources?

He hasn't been withdrawn, but has struggled to get through training this week after missing last week. That I've been told by those who watch every week. Hawthorn are having a session tomorrow and the team will be finalised after that. If he gets through this session he will play, but just make sure you have an emergency ready because the word is he won't make it and Tuck or Ellis will come in.

Cheers

I'd say that is quite likely...

Warnock has been named in the ruck, which is a good sign. Fremantle also use Gilmore in the ruck, so the two will be rotated throughout the game one would imagine.

The story on the AFL website says Warnock and Peake are emergencies.

But the teams list has them both in the 22.
