My team for next week with 6 changes:
Morris Chaplin Rance
DEA GRIMES Houli
Ellis Vlastuin McIntosh
Martin GRIFFITHS Riewoldt
Edwards McBEAN DELEDIO
Vickery Cotchin CONCA
Int - C. Ellis Miles Lennon sub - Grigg
Obviously will not happen as a few favourites are missing
The only time I have seen Vickery play good footy was in the ruck. Maric has been poor so far and only needs to play against fellow dinosaur ruckman moving forward. Hampson whilst his tap work is elite, he is the biggest spud going around during general play. Not the answer.
Vlastuin must play in the midfield for all the reasons we we selected him in the first place. Tough, hard, good decision maker, good kick, etc.
Dea and Batchelor are similar players but I take Dea. I see something in him and prefer him down back.
Lennon with his skills must be played for a period of time IMO.
McBean comes in for the third tall after 2 solid games in the VFL. Looks like he is chasing and harassing with better intent than last year. Its his time
Anyway my 2 cents worth which is more likely along way off most.
