LATE CHANGES AT SUBI
BY STEPHEN BAKER
FREMANTLE and Essendon have been forced to make late changes to their line-ups ahead of today’s clash at Subiaco.
Luke McPharlin comes out of the selected side and Josh Head will make his debut.
Former Essendon hardman, Mark Johnson will notch-up game number 200 today when he squares off against his old club in a match experts predict could be a fiery encounter.
Both Johnson and recent Windy Hill discards Kepler Bradley and Dean Solomon will be looking to get one back on their old clubs, as will former favourite son, and three-time premiership player, now Dockers coach, Mark Harvey.
Essendon, meanwhile, have left out promising forward Jay Neagle, while fan favourite Damien Peverill will come in for game number 137.
Sportsbet has installed Fremantle as firm favourites with punters still coming for the Dockers at $1.50, while the Bombers, despite recent wins over the Eagles and Carlton are seen as rank outsiders at $2.65.
FOOTYHEADS: Can Essendon beat a pumped up Dockers side?
