Will Watson be a late out

[david17]

Was thinking loophole Priddis and T.Mitchell via K.Martin but im worried that Watson will be a late out could give me a zero so if i dont do the loophole who should i start Priddis or Mitchell

[Samsturmfels]

If Watson is named in the 22 tomorrow I expect him to play because he wouldnt be named if he wasn't ready to play

[Jesty]

Doubt he will be a an out but wouldn't rule out an early sub if he cops a knock.  ;D

[Swoozie]

Wouldn't think so mate. If he's named he would be ready and Essendon need to win to keep 4th place open for them.

Nothing for Essendon to gain by naming and not playing him. And I Reckon he'll play and score well. wouldn't take the risk of playing him if he weren't ready, especially as they are in the finals with a pretty good chance. ;)

[nostradamus]

He must be ready to go, otherwise he wouldnt be named

*and he wont be subbed off either

Disagree with some of the above comments. Essendon have nothing to LOSE by naming him, but have plenty to gain in terms of strategy and putting up some smoke and mirrors. They will give him every chance to get up, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was a last-minute withdrawal.

Yeah, have to agree with MC on this

Supercoach paige saying Watson is going through a final fitness test ahead of the game this afternoon, with the bombers expecting a physical encounter.Nick O'Brien is on standby as an emergency should Jobe be withdrawn at the 11th hour.

Crap should I sub Colquhoun with Heppell on mid bench then take Clisbys score in the backline. I won't get to know Bombers/Collingwood final teams before the Adelaide/Port Adelaide game starts.

Goddard, Gibbs, Hanley, Shaw, Henderson, Heppell (Clisby, Oxley)
Ablett, Selwood, Swan, Pendles, Cotchin, JPK, Mitchell, Watson(Priddis, Colquhoun)

Do it, guaranteed 101 and cover.

You'd probably consider taking Clisby's score for Heppell anyway.

Actually just took a breathe and think ill do it. Thanks!
