The VFL release list is out. From it you might conclude…
Playing: Guccione, Hocking, Younan, Aylett, HepA, Laguda, Tynan, Bowman
Not playing: Dixon, Landt, McKenna, Sibbald
That adds up: 15 AFL-listed and 8 VFL-listed. McKenna out for Snelling, and Landt out for Ham.
Excerpt from
KEY QUESTION
Will there be mental hurdles for each team to overcome?
The recent preliminary-final records of these sides provide an interesting side story to this match. The Seagulls are almost infamously renowned for poor results in the season’s penultimate week, having reached preliminary finals in the previous nine years – and in 12 of the previous 13 campaigns – but only advancing to the Grand Final in 2011 (when they lost to Port Melbourne) and 2015 (when they triumphed over the Box Hill Hawks).
Essendon hasn’t made the decider since returning to the VFL in 2013, falling in preliminary finals to Williamstown by 12 points in 2015 and then to beaten grand finalists the Casey Demons by eight points last year. The Bombers led at three-quarter-time that day but couldn’t complete a run from eighth spot on the ladder to the big dance, so there’s plenty of preliminary-final heartbreak in the memory for both groups.
KEY STAT
Essendon faces a massive task to counter the opposition’s prowess in the contest, with the Seagulls ranked first in the VFL for contested possessions per game (averaging 12 more than the 12th-ranked Bombers) and third for average clearances (four more per game than 11th-ranked Essendon). To illustrate this superiority, they beat the Bombers 146-126 in contested possessions and 46-36 in clearances during their Round 17 clash.
On-ballers Aaron Heppell , David Myers and Dylan Clarke will be crucial for Essendon when the ball is in dispute, and if they can break even with a Williamstown midfield led by skipper Adam Marcon , the Bombers are more adept at holding onto possession. They averaged 45 more uncontested possessions and 32 more uncontested marks than the Seagulls during the home-and-away rounds and will likely look to control the game’s tempo on the outside if given a chance.
Does that mean no LAV? 
Why is Heppell on the bench?
Mynott ruck lol,
Hartley starting up forward again.
do you recall how many AFL-listed guys we had last time we played them?
Since we played seven weeks ago, and lost 84-102, and based on the release list speculation above…
IN: Guccione, McNeice, Clarke, Snelling, Ham, Myers, Aylett, Bowman
OUT: Gown, Brown, Hanna, Landt, Fennell, Berry, Lazzaro, McQueen
Let’s try to do a like-for-like comparison:
Guccione for Hanna – I say neutral, but then I like Hanna a lot; however, not a bad thing having a chunky Gooch in the absence of Hartley
Bowman for Gown – not sure Bowman will go two weeks as preferred full-forward, but a team win
Aylett for Brown – meh
Clarke for Fennell – oh hell yeah
Myers for Berry – oh hell yeah
McNeice for McQueen – win
Snelling for Lazarro – win
Ham for Landt – win
The last two aren’t great comparisons, but along with the other changes they point to a massive increase in midfield strength since we last played.
In the last game Jok (25 hit-outs) and Hartley (15) were our rucks.
