An old bugbear of mine.
The emergencies are Picken, Cross and McMahon.
So if a mid to small size player goes down we are covered. But what if Darcy gets food poisoning or something. We go into the game a big man short - in a team not noted for its talls.
I know Bandy could then ruck but to me it upsets the team balance and would leave us one big man short.
What is the purpose of emergencies then. It seems that we are using them as a reward for performances in the VFL and to let youngsters know they are being noticed, which I think is good. But there is also the emergency aspect - which is probably why they are called emergencies - and we are ignoring that. Hopefully not at our peril, but I think we should be a bit more professional about it.

Werribee are short on big men too.
I suppose putting Bartlett as an Emergency would have been a good option here.
Noticed James in back for Werribee. Skipper on bench with a few to be taken out, Harris in ruck. Not sure if Hahn is back.
Can't remember much else.

I see those 'sticklers' for accuracy over at afl.com have us dropping ROBERT McMahon from the side this week.

Maybe he'll be playing at South Adelaide with Daniel Hargraves?
