About time Johnson was dropped.

Would have prefered Houli or Hocking in before Campo but oh well.

Good to see Reimers getting a game...might as well have a look at him before the season ends and in front of his family etc

Campo instead of Houli - are you f****** kidding me Sheeds?

What a f****** disgrace.

Campo was best on ground for mine til he was injured against the Dogs.

I agree though that Houli is a bit stiff.

It is a extended bench, so there is no guarantee Campo is actually in the side. According to an earlier post, Campo is part of that extended bench.

I think Campo is a good inclusion. He should have a field day on the wide open spaces out West. Our skill last week was horrible, I'd imagine he's been bought in to remedy this.

Seeing that his effective disposal % is less than most.....

I agree, i doubt that Campo will play though. I think the bench will be Hille, Dyson, Watson and Pev. Rama will be rested and Johns and Campo play with the twos on sunday.

Bendigo has no excuse not to win this week, they have players like JJ, Johnno, Bolts, Houli, Dempsey and perhaps Campo and Johns playing for them!

Glad to see that it only took the selection committee 10 weeks more than most of us to recognise that Mark Johnson is seriously battling.

Good luck to Reimers. He's a stringbean so one hopes that, should he play, his teammates will make sure he gets a bit of protection.

Johnno has had a disappointing year but i think Monfries would have been a better choice to be dropped this week. We will miss Johnno's toughness against Josh Carr and Solly just to name two.

I was never expecting Hird to make the trip to Perth, but how far away is he from playing? Any chance for next week? I seriously doubt we'll make finals, which means only 3 more games - assuming he plays next week.

I wouldn't let him anywhere near Subiaco - he always ends up in hospital.

If we lose this week, then he will only play against Richmond, ensuring that he gets to his farwell match.

that may be true but...

Houli isn't on that extended bench - hence my exasperation / dismay / anger / fury / disillusionment / despondency etc.

Good to see Reimers getting a go. May as well see how the kids go in the big time. We're still in contention for the finals - just - so we do have something to lose. But by bringing in the kids, giving them some experience, hopefully gives a big boost to their development and become better players out of it.

I, too, am surprised and a bit disappointed Houli's not back. As he's continually in Bendigo's best, and with Essendon losing so easily (too easily), I don't know what he's gotta do to get a gig.

I'm not too bothered by that team. It's possibly as good as it can get at the moment. We are still a shot for the 8, so they need to continue to play for it.

Gumby for #2 and Reimers for his debut are two significant in's and may be why Campo has been named as some experienced balance. Doubt he'll play though. No surprise that Houli is in the 2's considering those 2 inclusions.

Congratulations to young Kyle...I hope he does well in front of family and friends...same for Gumby.
