Let's hear ya !!

[Pies4shaw]

In: Luke Ball. Out: Whoever it takes.

Other calls depend upon injuries and MRP.

In: Ball, Swan
Out: Adams, Sidebottom (sus)

Though Kennedy needs a game very soon. Needs to play at least one of the next two games. Might be some more rests coming up. Still, the Demons and Dogs are tougher opponents than the Saints and we'd not want to take them too lightly.

Grundy may also come in for Witts, if fit.

Adams may be given another game, but will need to improve immensely. The Demons and Dogs are both good in close.

[Brown26]

What about Broomhead for Maxwell? I reckon Sinclair would get in if he was fit, but with Seedsman already in, there aren't too many HBF left! Might have to be Goldy down back as third (second?) tall and Broomhead or Langdon playing loose man.

Looks like a good win - haven't watched it yet - but Bucks sounds happy which is nice!

Right, forgot about Maxwell.

out: Maxwell
in: Kennedy

Goldsack goes back and Kennedy forward/mid. I'd rather load up in attack than defense against the Dees. If not Kennedy, then Dwyer.

Out: Sidey Maxwell Adams
In: Swan Ball Grundy

Can't see BenKen in the team as yet

I think Grundy was rested and so was Swan and probably Ball with only minor niggles... All to come back. I would have a go with the one ruck given the extra run generated and WHite having his best game playing more in the ruck! Adams disposal really let him down.

Out: Sidey, Maxy, Adams, Witts
In: Swan, Dwyer, Ball, Grundy

I would have had PK in this week if he didn't cop a hammy!

Quite a few changes but we don't lose too much except for Maxy's strong leadership down back!

[yin-YANG]

Bring on another percentage booster and the ski season! Sorry about my hubristic optimism Lazza...

Cloke another BAG and Beams another BOG!

Apologies again to the scarred supporters out there who can remember when the red legs dominated all others for most of the Menzies era

I'd give Grundy a run in the seconds, next week. Witts is by far the better ruckman of the two and he was one of our most influential performers last night.

I'd look at resting O'Brien for a week and give Broomhead a run.

You wont get a much better opportunity to blood some players and rest others than a 3 week stretch of games against the saints, demons and dogs.

[JC Hartley]

It is Lumumba, not O'Brien swoop.

[jackcass]

You'd imagine there will be at least 2 changes with Maxy (inj) and Sidey (susp). Hard to drop players after an 86 point win.

Broomhead, Martin, Kennedy and Dwyer add to the Ball, Swan, and Grundy list of possible inclusions.

Karnezis pinging a hammy at training is most unfortunate. Probably was still a VFL game away from required fitness and truly staking a claim but could equally have been in the picture.

Bucks post match said Swanny had "feet" issues which had impacted his performance over the last few weeks so an extra week off might be beneficial longer term.

Ball was tight after training so again, may need another week.

Melbourne going with Jamar and Gawn may mean we need both Witts and Grundy.
