    Roos was raving about the job Shaw did on Young. He's safe.

      As much as I dislike the idea probably TDL out for Smithy. I would rather it was Bevo.

        The only thing that might save TDL is that Roos stated TDL was coming back in because he wants goals. It should be a like for like positional swap and TDL should stay in.

          Two questions here.

          1. Does anyone know if Bradshaw will play in the twos this week, warning up for the Dogs game?

          2. Will Sandliland be playing for the Dockers against us this week?

            They won't be dropping Teddy, as he is one of only two tall defenders.

            Neither Shaw or Mattner will be dropped as they will be required to be rotated through the midfield/wings to compensate for our lack of pace on the large Subi ground.

            There is absolutely no way TDL will be dropped coming into this one, when his pace and style (finds lots of space going backwards to goal) which suits this ground to a tee.

            If Smith does play it will probably be for Bevan as Fremantle have lost a couple of their dangerous small forwards.

            Only other likely change would be Rohan for someone like Moore, but this is unliekly considering that Rohan is coming back from injury and was battered after the ressies game last week.

            Smith in for Bevan only for me.

              They would be mad not to play TDL in front of his home crowd. Jetta too. I reckon they'll kick 10 between them...goals that is....
              May be there will be no change this week!

                Smith for Bevo is the only one I'd be happy to see.

                  Yep, even though the Big Al crap meter didn't register a Bevo incident on Sat I would like to see this as well.

                      No way TDL. We need players who can kick goals.

                        looks like bevo is the logical out for smithy.... let's see whether logic is going to even be a factor this week, i would be pretty happy with no changes too.

                          I believe both Braddy & LRT are in line to play round 21
                          Sandilands is a "test" but fingers crossed he does not play

                              I can't see them taking Nick over to Perth so soon after a hammy.

                                Especially on a ground where he would be flat out running and covering ground. Gee you would want him to be spot on before you did that.
