Except Ham was an emergency, and you’d expect was always the Zaharakis cover
There may also have been some concerns around Bellchambers, and the last 2 were really the next in line (cover for Hooker not getting up? And maybe for someone else with a question mark over them that we don’t know about)
If there were only 4 “types” in a team you might argue that we could have covered every eventuality, but if we never had any doubt on Clarke, and had others who we had some concerns about, then it can be a legitimate situation where Essendon decided the $5K was the best option to maximise our chances of winning.
Does anyone really think Essendon , of all clubs, likes giving away $5K if they can avoid it?
If I am the AFL, I’d just say no and force us to play one of the four listed emergencies.
The only reason I’d allow an out of emergency change is if there weren’t enough fit players to make up the 22, in which case I wouldn’t let them play at the lower levels either. It can still be taken advantage of, but more difficult.

Why are there even emergencies in the first place? The whole point of an emergency is that they are unforeseeable, so a team wouldn’t know which player they would need to replace in advance.

But why?
I want the best teams possible out there, rather than caring about keeping gambling orgs happy.

No surprise the dickbrain has no concept of the meaning of the word “emergency”.

Smith and Zaka out means Parish has to pick up the slack and play more on the ball. Looking for a big game from him.

So Zac Clarke is being rested and therefore primed for Anzac Day?
O why not bring Draper in. Joe should be playing through the vfl for at least a week. He hasn’t played a proper game for almost a year

Driving into town this arvo, there was a dead roo on the roadside, significantly inviserated. Crows picking over the carcass.
Make of this what you will.
You heard it here first.
Take it to the bank.

Glad Joeys in. It was a joke to even suggest he play in the VFL.
I’d be happy with an ugly 8 point win
