AFL: A brutally honest Brad Scott says Essendon have failed every pressure test thrown their way this season, with finals the thought of finals irrelevant.
Collingwood has recalled a trio of premiership players including Jordan De Goey among several big Blues ins for Saturday night’s blockbuster clash between the arch rivals.
The Pies have dropped Harvey Harrison, Lachie Sullivan and Will Parker, while the Blues have omitted Lewis Young, Jack Carroll and Lachie Cowan as David Cunningham also misses through injury. Esssendon has named Jake Kelly, Ben Hobbs, Nick Bryan, Alywn Davey Jr. and Archie Roberts as part of an extended squad when it fights to keep its season alive against Fremantle.Neil Erasmus, Lachie Reidy, Cooper Simpson and Will Brodie have been included in an extended Dockers squad missing Nat Fyfe after failing to have his one-game suspension overturned at the Tribunal.
Puzzlingly, the Cats said on their team website Tom Atkins would return with Gary Rohan to miss through concussion, but this was not filed in their official team lodgement.
