Personally my thinking is:

IN: James, Meiklejohn
OUT: O'Loughlin, Roberts-Thomson

FB Seymour C.Bolton Mathews
HB Kennelly Schauble Barry
C Fosdike Kirk Maxfield
HF Williams Hall Schneider
FF Davis Doyle O'Keefe
Fol Goodes Cresswell J.Bolton
Int Meiklejohn James Sundqvist Crouch
Em Warfe Nicks Stevens

It would appear that Nicks is the favourite to come in, but IMO he doesn't offer us as much as those who can play in areas we are short.

Against Port I would prefer Meiklejohn to LRT - a more viable option to play extended periods in the ruck if required.

Needing to cover Tredrea, Cornes and probably also Lade, I personally worry that with Schauble as our only true KP defender we might be caught short. James could at least provide a flexible option.

I'm not totally convinced that James was dropped as such last week - my take on it was that with Seymour and Doyle being rushed in to get a game under their belts, a third underdone tall (especially in the conditions) would have been too much. Particularly if he was under a cloud with his knee as well.

It would be great to be able to rely on Stevens and bring him in, but we really can't afford a passenger in such a big game, and unfortunately he carries that baggage at the moment.

Can't say that Doyle filled me with glee on the W/E. How much game time did he have? Did more bike work than Plugger in his comeback!

Covered more Ks than Lance Thomson.

Do you mean Lance Armstrong?

My view:

Nicks for O'Loughlin, but O'Keefe basically to take Micky's position rotating with Doyle. Goodes to be the #1 ruckman, relieved by Doyle and LRT.
James for Seymour if unfit.

I'm not too worried about the shortage in our defence, we've dealt with it all year. More worried about giving them a 3 or 4 goal start and playing catch up all game long.

In: Powell
Out: Magic

I want to have a settled squad, so I would make only one change and that would be for Magic if he does indeed miss the game.

We need a bit of height, more than we need a player like Nicks.

I would go with the 5 man forward line and the 6th forward would become a floating defender. That role I would leave to Powell and LRT to share.

Hood, I thought you must have been listening extra Hard to the commentary. One of them mentioned that during the telecast.

It just gets worse doesn't it. I mean now my incorrect gags are in fact plagerised from probably Daikos, geesh, can it get worse? SOS maybe? AAAAAAHHHHH

I was installing a DVD player for my mother during the telecast with what turned out to be a faulty cord, so spent a fair bit of time BEHIND the TV.

Damn mother (shakes fists) knows nothing about AFL, she should have known it was my quiet time!

LOL
I don't think it was SOS if it makes you feel better. But then again, will have to go the video for that one
