They are forced changes, but there is still a bit of excitement in giving second-string players an opportunity (albeit after others have failed) - and you are right, Rohan deserved another go this week.
It will be interesting to see how they all play together in the forward line. If Bradshaw is still a bit sore, does that mean that he is likely to play closer to goal - with Playfair / Goodes moving out from CHF? Or will Playfair come off the bench and do centre square ruck duties and then head forward with Goodes to take the ruckwork around the ground (when Pyke is not on the ball)? It gives us some options with White there also.
Still, our forward line needs good midfield support to fire this week - we need a few more attacks driven from the midfield rather than just being
initiated from halfback, as happened last week.
