Essendon coach Brad Scott says he is “aware of the risk” of playing his tall quartet this afternoon.
“We clearly recruited Goldstein for a reason, Draper had a limited pre-season, and he’s a very, very different ruckman to Goldy,” he tells Seven.
“There’s playing two rucks, and there’s playing two rucks that really complement each other.
“They (Goldstein and Draper) are very different and we’re confident they can work together, but it doesn’t guarantee anything.
“With our tall forwards, it’s a matter of how much pressure we can apply.
“We’re aware of the risk, and we’re also aware of the opportunity it presents for us.”
