Changes vs Cats

I think it’s honestly worth Shiel playing some VFL time at this point.

Have Hind as sub. Though we probably have 3/4 options for sub at this point.

Ridley unlikely to play you’d think?

Best case scenario with Rids would be bone bruising. He will still miss some footy you’d think to let it all settle. Hopefully it’s only one or two weeks as he is such a critical player for us.

I was actually impressed with Durham second half when he went down there. Had a genuine aerial presence.

When it comes to essendon wouodnt surpriseme we can never have nice things

Imo It’s time to start bringing Tippa into the squad as a sub.

He is ready. Now is the time so he’s prepared for the pointy end of the season.

Did he actually move to defence or was that just his usual gut running from end to end?

Another alternative is Cox, although maybe a bit light but he has height and pace.

Dr Tom Browne sensationalising

Hyperextended knee doesn’t mean ACL. But it can happen

The docs have tests for however and he wouldn’t have come back on if ACL. And would have had the mattress esque icepack on, with crutches post game.
