well here’s another difficult one for EF…not too sure EF are in the right place to do one over the boys in black & blue…surely some tactical changes will be made by the coaching team…some height up front and some height up back to expose EP lack of height up back(though Schofield will play again no doubt for EP) and their plethora of height up front!
Howson to FF…Young to FB on Smith/Johnson, Doddy hopefully back to Smith or Johnson…Howlett to CHF if Young goes back perhaps?..I know Tommy has been our mainstay up back of late, but if Young, Dodd and Jupp are in defence then surely that frees up Howlett to use his marking prowess else where…like EF forward line…perhaps give Chalwell a go solely as a roaming CHF perhaps…
can’t see Dalziell playing, he’s been fantastic for EF these last two games, deserves a WCE gig…Sutcliffe perhaps…Duffy and Simpson certainly need to lift their ratings…wonder if Hancock will go to Lee…did well against Hutchings last weekend from all reports…Henson, Boyle, Tropiano and Lester-Smith all need to lift…I really do think Hooker deserves a go if one of those first three gets dropped…the kid has been doing well in the reserves of late from all reports. Big test for Symonds and Macdougall, hopefully they can provide a contest and at least make Lycett and Johnson earn their match fee.
Brown will be sorely missed though, he’s the big frame EF has relied upon to curb the likes of smith et al up front for EP. Strange having Jamie Cripps play against EF, but thems the times I guess…hopefully the likes of ROB and McGough can continue the grand service they have done all year!
Reserves are winning, 2nd on the table, not too sure what to make of their win last Sunday…7 goals in the first, none till half way of the 3rd, then piled them on again in the last stanza…kicked very straight which is important. Good to see Cordell Smith kicking a few, liked his footy when he played colts a few years back…
do the u/18 state boys come back with the bye this week in the champs?..probably not with two games within 5 days after the break…good to have Solomon back though…any chance Barone will be back Rock?..also Jack Cripps…or has he got GG footy commitments?..great to see Green keep on keeping on…will go close to winning the colts F&B I reckon…regular 30 plus possession getter each week.
wonder if Pav and Sandi will make the trip to Kununnara to play CL? :lol: …I hear the footy surface there is conducive to players returning from long term injuries!!
) ..unfortunately for you blokes tho he is still unavailable for a couple more weeks!!
