He's got to play. We cant keep relying on Jolly. If he doesnt cop and injury he'll probably need a rest before the finals, so what do we do then. Have LRT and Richards share ruck.?

We need to blood other ruck options now. Chambers has failed. Next cab off the rank. There arent many games left to experiment with.

Doyle must play.

Everything barry said.

I saw the performance of the ruckmen in the magoos on the weekend as
1. Doyle
2. Chambers
3. Shaw
Ericksen played more as a (very) tall forward.

I don't think Shaw or Ericksen are genuinly being considered because those 2 and Rowe didn't ruck at all, just swapped between CHF and FF and bench.

I'd like to see Doyle play. Makes us top heavy though with Mathews out for Grundy last week and Doyle in for Fossie this week. Alternatively they drop SuperTed, lose Fosdike with injury and bring in Willoughbidt and Doyle.

So:
Dempster Barry Bevan
Kennelly LRT Bolton
Kirk Ablett Malceski
O'Keeffe Hall McVeigh
Schneider MOL Buchanan

Jolly Bolton Goodes

Grundy Phillips Doyle Schmidt

I'm just considering the recent selections of Mal, Grundy & Phillips, and whether adding both Schmidt and Doyle to the team gives an unacceptable ratio of relative inexperience / lack of game time for Roos. He's never been one to play the kids. Not bad balance though, although we may be one tall backman short. Then again, with Tredrea not playing, who knows.
