Eddie will beat up  on Buckley and if I was the Crows I would be hoping that matchup happens.....Eddie is very strong in the body and a good contested mark for his lack of inches and I would be going for a taller mobile defender

MM was saying that he would rotate a few blokes on Eddie, if he plays. And Buckley would be one of those to further help him learn a stronger defensive side to his game. Makes good sense. Better to do it now than when 4 points is on the line.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

The types we have that will most likely play on him (Walker, Tuohy, Yarran) can smash him going back the other way. Eddie's not really used to following his man up the ground and defending. Walker could run him off his feet.

Yup, history says any reasonable small forward causes us headaches but practice match so it doesn't matter.

Eddie can play on emotion though so an opportunity to get rid of some nerves if he plays, I'd rather him carry that into the season...

I agree. rather he stews on the emotion of playing against us during the week of the real season rather than getting it out of the way now. Love him but hope he flops against us

Unfortunately that's because Tuohy & Walker copped injuries last week. Hopefully nothing serious.

I notice (unless Ive read incorrectly) that 206 isn't playing. Will be great to see a Wood Kruiz ruck combo in action, along with seeing Thomas in action for blues for the first time.

Five players listed are class. The others aren't in our starting 22.

The inclusions of Simpson, Kreuzer, Thomas, Garlett and Jamison offset any deficit from the excluded.
