Ralph seems to have put more thought into his Bombers' line up while the side he has picked for us has blokes out of position, named twice, and not considered.
Even with its retreads, Essendon will lack depth this season and that will be a telling factor as injuries bite and younger and poorly prepared players fatigue.
While Ralph's consideration of the lists is superficial, a more glaring issue is his failure to consider the coaches. Worsfold ended his career at Wet Toast as a coach found lacking. With his time out of the game, his ability to match it with the other coaches in terms of preparation, game plan and tactics must be questionable.
Of course, we have a novice in Bolton but I'd say that his experience over the last three years has been much better preparation than what Worsfold has had.
Essendon may jag a win or two, but not against us.
