Well sure, but how can he say Framptor and co aren't "ready" and then routinely pick Rockliff?
Unless of course it's justifying his ego

A positive to take out - I don't think we could have played with less effort or less care in the world and it amazes me that we only got done by 22 points. If that is our worst performance effort wise and to come away with a loss that small against a bogey side at a bogey stadium, then we are in for a fun year! Obviously, another effort like that this Saturday night and we have cause for concern.
With the ruck situation, been a fair bit of an over reaction everywhere. While i was hoping big Bill would play on the weekend, we have to remember Howard was originally groomed as a ruckman when Ryder was out for the year and he was showing good signs. On the weekend, we won the centre clearances, won the hit outs to advantage & only just got done in the clearances around the ground. The telling stat for me is down 22 in disposals, down 2 in contested possessions and down 3 in Tackles. That shows there wasn't anywhere enough effort and that Essendon were able to move the ball with ease.
I agree with Booney, think Hombsch will come in this week for McKenzie. Trent was rewarded for his good pre-season form and his early SANFL form, but think it's time Hombsch come back with Ryder being injured. SPP to return with some more grunt and hunger, just hope it means Robbie stays in the middle though & Boak stays as a permanent half forward. That would mean the 6 guys to go through the middle would be Gray, Wines, Ebert, SPP, Rockliff & Wingard.
Changes for this week
OUT:
McKenzie, Amon/Houston
IN:
SPP, Hombsch
If Rocky doesnt come up then i think we should look at Atley as well as a 3rd change

Easy mate, easy, the AFL Integrity unit is overseeing the investigation. It's not like the police are involved, or anyone who really knows how to conduct an investigation.

Can Port select him without a conclusion to the keystone cops investigation?

Rockliff almost certain to miss, either through a calf strain, or a return to the SANFL to get some touch.
If he does get put back to the Maggies, he will be certain to miss against North also, given the Maggies play on ANZAC day next week.

Took the AFL nearly 2 years to find Essendon not guilty so god knows how long this will take.
