Really looking forward to this game - it will be a good test for Essendon & Collingwood - both teams down on confidence & form.
Losing Ridley - our best defender - is huge, but this is somewhat counterbalanced in our favor with the Pies losing 3 of their better players in De Goey, Mihocek & Howe... Collingwood are currently slight favourites with Sportsbet bookies @ $1.77 - but really this game could go either way. Hoping we see a solid effort from our boys and there might be a couple of changes. At this stage it could be;-
OUT: Ridley, Jones, Waterman
IN: Phillips, Zakka, Gleeson
Team;-
Laverde Francis Redman
Heppell Reid Hind
Ham McGarth Cox
Langford Stringer Snelling
Perkins Hooker Tippa
Phillips Parish Merrett
Bench: Smith Guelfi Zakka 2MP
SUB: Gleeson
Really hope we play Phillips as main ruck - this will allow 2MP to drop back in defence and play on Cox & the Pies other talls. Comon Bombers...!!!
