Out T Bristow, A Ryan,

Bailey an out I guess as not listed either....pity that. Thought Schofield injured his knee?...still listed as an in. Wiley surely cant go in with only Watson v Gault and Nuich after last week....so Cronan must be in line for a debut? If Cronan does debut than good to see the ex U 18 State rep get a chance.

Dusappointed Ryan gets dropped but Crichton keeps his spot....Ryan is the future not Crichton...drop Crichton, move Stepho back and play Ryan up front....not sure how fit Hampson or Macca will be after so many weeks out....esp Macca....Hampson only 1 reserves run....good to see Harding back....Wiley just needs to persist with these young guys....hopefully young Holmes has a cracker on his dads back yard,surely he would be familiar with the ground....

Shame about Bailey - he has been very good off half back. Perham has been helping Watson out since big Symonds fell from favour but you are right Watson needs some serious support - a lot is being asked of him. Think you are being a bit harsh on Crichton. Harding did the right thing last week by getting more than 30 touches in the reserves win and will be hard to leave out. Hoping for dry weather after last week.

Cronan will make his league debut.

Well done to Cronan....be nice if young Holmes kicks the winning goal for EF in his old mans backyard....actually be nice if anyone at EF can kick a goal...LOL

Not in line for finals. Obviously rebuilding, so why rush mcnamarra in after months out
, take the opportunity to play Harding for another week and run mcnamara in the ressies.
I think it must piss some of these guys playing reserves right off when this sort of stuff happens.
Even Harley Bennell is coming back through peel,mayby J mac is better or is more a statement about what Wiley thinks of the list

.....or maybe he thinks that it is important to have an experienced player in the side to help the youngsters develop their game!

A couple of late goals to Melrose and Taylor for the Swans colts have saved the red faces. Percentage booster for our colts.

Another loss another weekend slips by...perhaps Dillon O'Reilly from the colts should get a run...Mirco and Howson had 7 possessions between them for one goal...totally agree with Plus 1...Hampson had a run with the seconds and then appears to of had a decent game today in the league....not sure why Wiley didnt do the same with Macca...making some strange decisions this year...good to see young Holmes kick a couple

Freeze your young guy's application to the game plan today almost got you over the line. Tactically Wiley had Harding looking for answers all game. EF folk can take a lot of heart from that effort. this match could easily have gone the other way and probably should have. Lucky escape for SD
