Presuming we need to replace Saddo, Hall & Davis

[Bart]

Fosdike would certainly come back in, and probably James (who may get a stint up forward), but who else would you add. For me it would either be one of Powell, McGlone or Dempster. I wouldn't be surprised to see a debutant this week. Fixter probably isn't ready.

B: Crouch, Barry, Kennelly
F: Milne, Gehrig, Koschitzke

HB: Bevan, Bolton, Goodes
HF: Guerra, Hamill, Riewoldt

C: Maxfield, Williams, Mathews
C: Harvey, Ball, Dal Santo

HF: O?Keefe, O?Loughlin, Fosdike
HB: Schwarze, Maguire, Jones

F: Buchanan, Doyle, Nicks
B: Baker, Penny, Hudghton

FOLL: Ball, Kirk, Bolton
FOLL: Knobel, Hayes, Powell

I/C: Ablett, McVeigh, James, Powell
I/C: Goddard, Thompson, Blake, Clarke

Bart I'd say you are on the money although I will be praying for Davis to replace Ablett and switch Powell for Dempster a tallish wingman defender maybe just handy.(I never worry about debuts)

[Bleed Red Blood]

I pretty much agree with you Bart however much as we need Fosdike to contribute to the team I don't think he does much forward.. maybe put James on the flank instead of Fossy.

I also worry about our rebound with Kennelly and Barry on the last line.

Nick's ankle is still pretty sore A start off the bench maybe

I'd consider putting James at FF for Ball. He scored a few in the 2s last weekend and will provide a reasonably tall target up forward.

Ditto for Powell who could sub for Saddo. Either way, if the experiment doesn't work they can be used down back and Leo (a former forward) and B2 used as other options.

Sorry meanty Hall not Ball in last post!

ball would be better forward than doyle

But Ball would be better in the ruck too. I expect they'll alternate while the other goes forward.

I think is a great spot for Powell, he's being playing a forward role for the past couple of ressies games. Tall, athletic, can mark, and is a fair shot on goal.

Agreed, Powelly deserves his shot in the forward 50.
