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