Obvious 2 with Langford and Ridley injured would hopefully see Edwards and Hayes both debut. El Halwi for Prior (canon - never to be seen again hopefully) the other one for me.
I just hope that we don’t have music after goals.

Another 2 debuts would be exciting
I see you’ve named Perkins to play centre. It’s not a bad idea. Let’s see if that role sees him becoming more involved.
If he doesn’t become more involved, I’d drop him. Prior is the other one in the gun, but in fairness, our exposure to his football is based on one very poor game. Let’s see what next week brings.
We’ve got the Magoos playing today. If El-Hawli or even the incredibly young Zac Johnson play great games, reward them in two weeks’ time. Drop Perkins or Prior, or both, play one or both of them.
Magoos played yesterday. Lost by 40.
Are we playing the kids yet?! We sort of are aren’t we….
I though I’d read they were playing today.
Did anyone ‘light it up’ in a losing side?
Not really sure, sorry. All I know is from what the Essendon VFL account posted on X.
For the illiterate
Pando = fake tan?
If so we need more not less
Be more like Jye
If its raining lets play a tall team.
Or, lets play players in unsuitable positions.
BRADBALL
Oh, no changes for mine
Hayes and Edwards for sure, and El-Hawli for Shiel
Gresham has to start.
SEH for Ridley.
Hobbs to sub.
Edwards in for Langford.
Hate to see injuries but honestly not fussed to see 2 underperforming senior players forcibly removed and 2 debutants hopefully brought in.
Pando is McGrath’s wellness business or whatever Brighton bullshit it is.
DRYP
Adelaide are actually one team where I can see the merit in playing 3 tall defenders (Hayes, Reid, McKay) given they have Thilthorpe, Fogarty and Walker.
Whether we decide though that we would rather give up some size for some extra mobility instead, I dunno.
