we should have beaten dogs, but missed too many shots, need to get accuracy sorted out.
Have had a few people tell me recently how good tippa is, they watch Essendon just to see him play and they are Adelaide / Saints /Hawks fans.
Not sure who from Adelaide is going to be able to stop Tippa.
If Hooker, Green, Daniher all kick straight we are in for a good show.
Tempted to bring in Laverde for Howlett - in any case one of these two guys will play an accountable role on Laird. And try work off him.
As mentioned before, Goddard straight back into the middle, might spend more time inside as well as Parish.
Kelly and McGrath slot straight back in. Iâd love to see McGrath get more of a run on a wing.
I was thinking these 2 changes as well but we may have to drop/rest a defender to bring in the extra mid/forward to cover for Merrett and Fantasia.
Gleeson looks sore and tired so I would probably rest him.
I would probably go with:
IN: McGrath, Kelly, Laverde
OUT: Zerrett, Fantastia, Gleeson
Goddard pushes back to midfield (played back last week)
Colyer/Howlett spend much more time forward
I would bring in LAV if they think he can do a better job on a laird type of player. Both defensively and offensively. Otherwise the hardened Howlett is my pick to play that role.
