According to radio, Jono Marsh out with a hamstring

Wow, big out. Happened at training?

I actually think this is a bonus for EF. 
JM very easy to match up on for an AFL player. They will replace him with a smaller faster and more unexpected type who will confuse the AFL types. 

He was out with a hamstring before the second semi...maybe they brought him back too early.

If the Bull was injured wouldn't EFFC just keep it quiet and make a late change to confuse the Dockers Peel cohort?

TBH on his current season JMarsh has been pretty quiet. Disappointing for JMarsh, but just means a different approach will be needed.....young Walker with speed or maybe EF roll the dice on O'Reilly and his dodgy hammy.

Peelmantle were able to physically dominate the contests against a much smaller bodied Subiaco, but Ef are probably the biggest bodied WAFL team and have a better chance of standing up to Freo's physicality. One thing I noticed was when we did actually apply a decent bump or strong tackle on the AFL blokes they did not like it, so that can be a an avenue to explore, make every bump and tackle hurt and the princesses might chuck the shites.

EF need to not give away any unnecessary free kicks. That hurt subi. Umps always seem to be looking out for the AFL boys. I remember in 2016, Adam Cockie only had to look at one of them and it was a free. 

I'd almost instruct the players to avoid bumping, full stop. 

If Marsh not fit then Jansen, who pulled out late from 2nd semi, is hopefully fit and can come in. Another big body to take on the Dockers

Hello sailors! How are you boys? Getting nervous? We’re chock full of confidence at the Thunderdome after Sunday’s practice run. Its our time to shine for Peel greats like Belly and Wilo. See ya Sunday

When it comes to Peel it is possible for one person to know what the entire support base is thinking and feeling!

Can't speak for the rest of East Fremantle support  but personally not nervous. Looking forward to the big day and seeing my side play at Optus. That is just awesome for our club.

Shame we have to play an AFL reserves side though and not a proper WAFL club.
