Interesting plenty of work put into both Garthwaite and Soldo at training today. Soldo in particular 🤔

Things just got really interesting

Great test of what our list depth is actually like as opposed to what's been spruiked

Our tall depth is mostly still miles away from senior football and we have stuff all midfield depth..... :shh

Agreed.
He has had enough chances this year and he has made Bellis look brave.

The Bombers are going to risk their players carrying injuries.


ESSENDON expects key trio Cale Hooker, Brendon Goddard and Adam Saad to be available for Friday night's crunch clash with reigning premiers Richmond.

Bombers skipper Dyson Heppell, who is set to play his 150th AFL game on Friday night, says the Tigers remain a formidable opponent.

"I don't know if I've played them in my time without those guys, but I guess it's not about one player," Heppell told reporters.

"They've got amazing consistency right throughout that side.

"To test yourselves against the best side, who have been super this year, is what you want."

Method to the madness. Handy to have our fringe players get a full game at AFL level with the VFL team having the bye this week.

Higgins & Caddy will need to spend more time in the midfield rotation. So Townsend & a small forward (Baker or Stengle) to come in up forward. Lloyd to fill the remaining midfield role.

Out: Astbury, Cotchin, Prestia, Lambert
In: Garthwaite, Lloyd, Townsend, Baker/Stengle

If we want to give Nank another week's rest then obviously Soldo stays in.

Any chance they might experiment with two ruckmen?

The resting ruckman to down back to cover Astbury?

Tiges lose four for Friday night

Richmond has opened the door for Essendon to keep their finals hopes alive with captain Trent Cotchin, Kane Lambert, Dion Prestia and David Astbury all ruled out.

Prestia and Cotchin will miss with hamstring soreness, clearly indicating the club has opted to rest the midfield duo.

Astbury had an Achilles complaint, while Lambert underwent minor surgery on an ankle injury earlier in the week.

None of the injuries are serious as the Tigers enter management mode in the lead-up to finals.

In better news, ruckman Toby Nankervis should return after being managed last week.

Corey Ellis, Connor Menadue and Sam Lloyd are the likely candidates to earn a recall.

One can only speculate about Miles if he can't get a gig tomorrow night.

They spent a lot of time with Soldo practising tapping to Martin today
Might leave him in 🤔

I think the speculation will stop if Miles can’t get a gig tomorrow night.
