Its a top heavy side... and I think there's a reason for that.
Very strong rumour going around that Fletch is not playing- hence the inclusion of Bolton.
Sheeds still wants Jetta to come up - that's why he has been named as an emergency. But the likely scenario is Fletcher out and Houli in - Sheeds is keen on the idea of the AFL's first Muslim player debuting on ANZAC Day.

What a complete crock!
Hille is ruled out so we have to include 2 hacks to try and replace him?
I'd like to see Houli come in for Bradley or Bolton... or Johns. Is Bradley going to be used as a backup ruckman in the absence of Hille? If he is... hmm.

That's a good analogy man. Especially about Houli - and the first Muslim to play. Houli should come in for Bradley. But not Bradley playing, he's a DUD and should have been delisted.Staggy wrote:Its a top heavy side... and I think there's a reason for that.

I think the Fletcher innuendo has gained some credence in people's minds because he is a habitual gameday exclusion from the team, particularly over the last three years when his ability to carry niggles has presumably declined with age. I'd almost certainly say he's the bloke who is the most regular gameday 'out' for us and i was surprised that he actually played against Carlton because he pulled up sore after the Freo match. Hopefully that doesn't somehow increase his chances of missing tomorrow.
One of the two emergencies will debut. Probably Lonergan.
Bolton is not so bad because it's going to be a warm day tomorrow and at least he can run all day if nothing else. He's got fresh legs and can do a job when required, and going on past ANZAC Day matches, the game isn't going to be played at an outstanding skill level anyway so Bolts won't be as awkward as he might otherwise be. Bradley hopefully just finds a way to contribute, presumable in the ruck against Collingwood's second ruckman when Laycock needs a rest.
