    Essendon with plenty of injury problems of their own, including Saad ruled out this week.
    The club rarely reports what it should in regards to injuries

    I suspect you are right.

    Fair chance Daniel is out for the regular season but if we make finals, given the week off you would think he's a fair chance to return.

    Crozier is probably up against it but Bont came up a few weeks back with his ankle so fingers crossed.

    Hopefully Dr Dre is right to return.

    Sometimes I despair of some of the comments on this site. There are a few players in our team who, when I see them in a one out duel, I know I can relax.... they got this.

    Bailey Smith, Crozier and Dureya are a couple of these, and another is the much maligned (on this forum) Ed Richards. All of these will at least halve the contest, and on most occasions win it. Ed Richards never gives in, and will continue to harass and chase his opponent if things don't go his way. That goes a long way with me, which kind of explains why Dale Morris is my favourite Bulldog.

    Agree J54, another player I feel that is rarely beaten one on one is Hunter.

    Suckling and Hayes in the same side. Yay.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Farewell game for both?

    Good luck to both of them, but it makes you wonder what’s important at the club.

    Fingers crossed we double the dose. Be lovely to comprehensively bury them.

    Assuming the only reason Hayes sneaks back in at the expense of someone more dynamic is because Bevo has a very specific job for him. So does he go to Shiel or McGrath?

    I just cannot see Hayes ahead of Williams or West. Unless there’s injuries to the latter something is off.

    Hayes plays predominately midfield, West is a forward at this stage and Williams has played back and forward this year at AFL level, but not midfield as far as I recall (and apparently was terrible in the VFL last week).

    Perhaps Hayes is simply the best available for the role we require?

    Hayes is a vastly improved player than he was earlier in the season. While I agree with Doc 26 re Williams or West, the Hayes selection is something I'm more than comfortable with

    Well, his chosen position may be one thing, but with all due respect, he struggles at best.

    I honestly thought we wouldn’t see him again this year, and was comfortable with that.

    Did Rylee West get injured? That could be the only reason he doesn't get a call up over Hayes. Sheesh.

    How has Hayes improved?
