If theyāre bringing Stants in, Iād consider resting Kelly/BJ/both. too slow with those three in the backline. Iād also consider resting one of them regardless.
Interesting that 4 of his 7 games this year have been interstate. Itās like the coaches tried to ruin him: play him out of position, play all the road trips (bar swans)

On the Suns board, their ruckman Dan Currie had to have surgery after an injury he got on the weekend. Their other 2 ruckman are also injured. So theyāll be without a ruck - maybe Wright will have to perform that role on the weekend?
Apparently Ablett is also in doubt (according to the Age).
Essendon are in prime position to register a 10+ goal win against the hapless Suns.
The same could be said against the Dockers.
IF their collective heads are right (thatās including the coaches!) % wonāt be an issue.
It sucks supporters have to angst over other results.
Dogs / Port - Sat 1.45pm
GWS / Eagles - Sat 4.45pm
At least weāll know on Saturday
Oh, and just like Essendon with Watsons retirement call I donāt expect the Dogs to play any differently to how theyāve performed so far. Theyāre vulnerable. .
Unlike Norf, who think they have a massive rivalry with us, or F/Carlton, who do have a massive rivalry with us, and want to beat us desperately every time we play them, the Suns really do need to tank at this point. Surely ( deep down inside ) they know its better for them to lose.
Iāll preface my opinion with the following two statements
I didnāt watch all of Saturdayās game
Iāve defending Colyer for quite some time
But on my Facebook feed on the train home last night, I saw Cale Hooker got the Fox Footy goal of the week. In the lead up to said goal, Hooker very clearly and deliberately motions (and probably yells) for Colyer to lay a shepherd.
Now shepherding isnāt always an Essendon midfielderās first instinct, but if the FKN BALL CARRIER HAS ENOUGH TIME TO ASK YOU TO DO IT, I meanā¦ ffs
