I imagine either McCartin will come in for Francis or he won't.
Roberts will come back into the team in Fox's place, and he and Campbell will duke it out for the sub role. If they really thought Roberts needed a rest, it makes sense for him to be sub and for Campbell to get a full game after barely a quarter last week. They all get a week off playing the following week, which gives the club an opportunity for an extra solid training block or two to get some miles into Roberts's and Campbell's legs.
If they've been reluctant to change things up by bringing Parker back in, it's hard to see them doing so for Sheldrick, who is probably the only player making a case for a senior spot at the moment. But I guess he could come in as sub instead of Roberts.
I'd love to see Corey get a string of games later in the year, though he's going to reliant on injury to others (and getting over his own injury). I know he's not shown much yet at senior level, but I just think he's on the verge of popping, and proving to be another valuable, quick, outside runner. I'd also like to see him play a Wicks type role at VFL level to see how he fares. Back-up to Wicks might be his best chance of getting a few games in the near future but I'm only guessing because he's not played in the VFL forward line much since his first year, and he's developed a fair bit since then. There were reports during pre-season that he was turning heads with his aerial prowess but sadly his most ambitious demonstration of that in the VFL side is what left him with a sprained ankle.
