Jamar is playing the TBC role for mine. Trialing playing two rucks, and its working. He stays.
We look such a better team with a second forward target after JOE. Mitch is a good third forward.
Having Fanta buzzing around there actually gives us a workable forward line.
Would love to see Yestin slot in for a game or two, perhaps for Stokes?
Who drops out for SMACK and/or Dea?
Ashby/Gleeson may be unlucky.
I just can’t see how he could possibly play with Jamar, Looney and Joe in the side. And like you said, Jamar was very solid. I can see the argument that Mckernan may be a better option at Subiaco oval though, especially sans Naitanui. Could you drop Jamar though? Would be very harsh!
I would drop Stokes but would understand if his on field coaching is the reason he stays. I am in favour of cutting the apron strings though and dropping Jamar as well and see what Smack can do when he is in form and fighting for his career.
An interesting aside is he could be up against Giles, the man he kept out of the Essendon senior side.
Not sure why you would have Laverde in hes been just ok. Langford possibly in not sure why he was out. Why have Jackson out hes been better. Smack for Jamar yes
In what universe does Ashby go out? He had one terrible kick and one pretty hot handball. Other than that competed well for first game back in the big leagues and someone we’re trying to make a call on. Bizarre.
Given the bye Francis won’t be ready for WCE. Plus if you’re not wanting him to debut v St Kilda you have no sense of theatre. Leave him out.
Smack Connor Langford Laverde all knocking on the door. In that order. IMO. Whether they fit or not I don’t know.

Don’t think the “last in/first out” philosophy is that unreasonable in a team that played well. I wouldn’t think you’d be dropping him for anyone other than Dea.
