I smell a token 200th coming on.

I wonder if he feels embarrassed?

In for who though? Reckon Jolly will have a 'calf' injury this week?

If Fraser comes in, it could be for Leroy I suppose....

I think Medders will be in for Reid

and Blair in for Ball

I would prefer he came in for someone injured as in Reid rather than replacing for a magpie calf injury.

This will put the message accross that he must perform if he thinks he warrants a place in the side.

Replacing a resting player and he may think wtf why worry I will be out again next week.

fletcher is under a injury cloud for the bombers.

this could be our chance to mix and match the forward line, (maybe ruzza)? yea its a winning forward line BUT i don't see bombers beating us, besides we have a game up our sleeve (or should we do it last round experiment?)

If Fraser comes in wouldn't surprise me if it's at the expense of Dawes.

Josh has nothing to be embarressed about...if he does play.. that will be 200 more games then you and i will ever play.....Sadly for the vast majority of those games he rucked with little or no support against bigger and stronger bodies....Endured pain and inury all for the CFC..Josh is not to blame for our clubs lack of ruckmen...he is however to be commended for his dedication to the team...His body has be ruined and his football career shortened...Sadly we may never see Josh in full flight again....his body can no longer do what his heart/mind wants...

If he does play his 200th this weekend or any other wekend this year...he should run on to the ground head held high and be given his due by ALL at the CFC.....Remember it was not that long ago that many in and outside of the club saw Josh as our next leader...he must have done alot more right then wrong by our great club for that to even have been considered..

Good Luck and Thank You Josh !!!!!

He is no leader. He is an average player. Not the worst and not the best.

And by embarrassed i mean that he obviously knows its a token game. If he was on, 187, for example, he probably would never play a game for the Collingwood Football Club again.

It is a token game not earnt on merit or brought upon by necessity as a result of injury.

Whatever, just get it over and done with i guess.

^ I hope Josh comes in and tears it up!! I want him to give the selectors a bit more of a headache! Good luck Josh!

ESSENDON will make at least three changes to its side for Friday night's clash with Collingwood with Dustin Fletcher, Jason Winderlich and Alwyn Davey ruled out with injury.

haha.. you just pipped me

Looks like the end of Josh this year.

Cannot see them bringing him in on his 200th as an emergency.

He should have at least the dignity of a banner when he does play it.
