It wasn’t the news Mark Mercuri wanted to hear tonight at the VFL Tribunal. He was found guilty of striking Geelong’s Brent Moloney in the third quarter of the Round 12 VFL match. He was suspended for two matches. Mercuri joins Dean Rioli on the sidelines. Rioli still has two matches to serve in his three-match suspension.
Bomber coach Kevin Sheedy indicated at training this afternoon that he will make changes to the team that defeated Geelong by six goals last Friday night. Sheedy hinted he will bring back ruckman Steve Alessio after a solid performance for the Bendigo Bombers and said Jobe Watson is no certainty to retain his place. ""Steve has a good opportunity to come back. We have to consider playing two ruckmen. Some clubs play one but it can get dangerous coming into a very important second half of the season,"" Sheedy said.
