There’s probably someone, somewhere who cares what happens this week - presumably the leper clubs that are fighting like tasteless seagulls over Essendon’s spot in the finals - but for the rest of us this week is just a couple of other days to cross off in the countdown to the finals. Ross Lyon has done his best to feign interest in the game on Saturday by sending a team over, although, with the likes of Peter Faulks, Alex Silvagni, Jesse Crichton, Josh Mellington, Alex Forster, Hayden Crozier and Matt Taberne all coming into the same team, he’s going to have some headaches trying to figure out which bloke to play as the sub. Clancee Pearce, Aaron Sandilands and Garrick Ibbotson will also be back for a run but the outs read like a who’s who at Fremantle, and Zac Dawson. Dawson, along with Michael Johnson, David Mundy, Lee Spurr, Hayden Ballantyne, Zac Clarke, Nat Fyfe will be rested while Nik Suban, Stephen HIll and Michael Walters all put in the effort to pretend to be injured.
