Pretty strong VFL side I must say (by our standards)

I like that back 6. I imagine they will go really well at AFL level.

Phillips, Narkle, Rastinac and Bernacki through the middle with Lynch off half-back is some quality VFL players to contribute.

Unfortunately, with Wright, Stewart, Reid, Cox, and McBride all injured the talls are a bit lacking.

I would expect Lynch to start on field, MASS to be in the firsts, and A Phillips to also be playing. And where is Munkara?

See the AFL team.

Munny needs more conditioning

No McBride?

He might play but i think he got hurt last week

Essendon has this amazing ability to have too many talls and too few talls on the list at the same time

Sounds like the name of a 19th century admiral.

I hope Hobbs does well. wonder if gets a full game.

good lineup.

would probably still prefer Baldwin forward with Vossy to help kick a score. but yeh he probably needs to play defence until Cox or Reid or McBride or Stewart are back on deck

Yep, very strong lineup in my opinion.

Agree I think we will be very competitive.
I hope so. We need massive pressure from the listed players in the vfl to make the others earn their spots. The best way forward is a strong VFL team.

Excited. Hobbs named in the centre. Thats his destiny.

Hobbs is playing? Awesome.

Why isnt Stringer playing if as they are saying… its conditioning from here. He is good to go otherwise

He’s still listed as 1-2 weeks away on the EFC website. That was 5 days ago, so I’m going to assume that means he needs another full week of training before playing at any level. I’ll be worried if he’s not playing VFL footy next week.
