Nice. Maybe would have liked to have given Pears another chance even though his form doesn't warrant it. Perhaps a good opportunity to get a few kicks at Bendigo and find his feet. No issues with Slattery and McVeigh decisions. McVeigh is the only one that can provide anything of those 2 and his form on Sat night didn't warrant retention.

Looks like Pears is Emg and maybe a late change.

Pears did not look confident against GWS, would of thought he wud still of played vs Melbourne.

Re: Ess v Demons Sat 7.40pm MCG

Hmm curious.. I would have thought that is a big demotion for Pears if they are saying he is not best 22...?

Also any news on Heppell? Doesn't miss a beat for a year and a half and now no show??

Love our depth..

Re: Side vs Melbourne (IN: Fletcher, Jetta, Hardingham; OUT: McVeigh (calf), Slattery, Pears)

A little surprised by Pears being dropped, to be honest.

He'll be back in time though.

Re: Ess v Demons Sat 7.40pm MCG

Hird said on the selection video just released that they have decided to give Heppell another week off.

I would fully expect him to play next week so this is not the week for anybody to have a downer because somebody will have to make way. Lovett-Murray? Colyer? Hmm...

Good ins.

I, as many will be also, am happy to see 'mates first' doesn't apply to team first. Great changes.

3 big ins for what should (in theory) be a relatively easy game, especially with the bye coming up.

Good signs though that the club's not taking any games lightly and values the momentum that winning games provides.

At least we've learnt from last year's disastrous mid-season flop.

x2.

Takes balls to tell one of your best mates he isn't up to it anymore.

Pears is disappointing, but on team balance I understand he's the least in form tall.

Don't mind them resting Hep, at all.

Agree. Very happy with the changes, and glad to see Hird keeping it professional and not personal with team selection.

Really like the changes.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Very impressed with Hirdy and the choices.

Feel for Spike, always was one of my favourites, but he's past it I'm afraid.

Fletch in is a massive bonus.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Disappointing to see Pears out but good ins, especially Fletch.

 

[JD11]

hope that pears plays for the gold; he looks like he needs game time.

 

[kfc1]

Very pleasing to see we are taking this game seriously. I want nothing less than a shellacking.

Pears not named for either team. His foot is giving him trouble again and requires week to week management or perhaps he could be a late change into the senior line up.

Great team!!
15 Essendon listed players.

TBH I was expecting either Dyson or Crameri (even both) to be rested this week, given they looked to be coming a bit sore during last week's game..

I sure hope they aren't risking any injury by playing this week..
