is it now time to give Snell a go and see what he is made of.

[KSAS]

For mine, with experimenting playing 2 rucks with 3 tall forwards.

IN: Grundy. Mills, Rosas, Roberts
OUT: Cleary, Kyle, Melican (inj), Armatey (managed).

Emerg: Kyle, Snell, Dattoli


Tempted to also manage McInerney with his ankle , in which Kyle would retain his spot.

I like this. It makes for a very balanced yet attacking team

Selection headaches!
Given we are 10 - 2, I would err on the side of caution with the selection of players listed as 'test'. To that end. I'd give Mills and Rosas another week off. McInerney to replaced by either Corey Warner or Dattoli, and Melican replaced by Snell. Ladhams to make way for Grundy, which is very tough on Ladhams.

Our injury list is terrible! Our list is longer than Essendon's, in the whole competition only Richmond's is longer. It's admirable that we are performing as well as we are when we have at least half a dozen Best 23 missing.

I would keep Kyle in for another week if Melican is staying out. Keep him as he has the speed off half back. Again the suggestion of Snell coming is a good one. So he could come in and Kyle can go out too.
Cleary and Hanily should definitely be out. Hanily probably a tad unlucky.
Amartey out would not be a bad thing as his output is dropping and we know he is not a 27 week player yet.

But if Mcinerney is missing then I would bring in Corey Warner or keep Hanily. Keep them all interested and hungry.

I would like to see -
Chad in the middle
James Jordon not tagging for a quarter or two atleast. He could play half forward and play on someone but not hard tag.
Forward half pressure and turnover game.
Stop the cute kicks
Ask Rowbottom to just hunt the ball. He did really good inside 50 entries last week - his kicking was much better than usual. His problem is that he rarely gets any kind of separation and hence ends up just banging on the boot.
