Fire away with your changes? :help

Team Tips:
With both the senior and reserves sides coming off the bye, everyone at Tigerland should be refreshed and ready to attack the back half of the season.
Jayden Short unfortunately won’t put his hand up for a return as he continues to deal with a complex calf injury. High-performance boss Ben Serpell says he’ll miss one more week.
If Adem Yze wants to give young rebounder Kaleb Smith a spell, James Trezise could be the man he calls on after being an emergency in Round 13.
First-year forward Jasper Alger continues to press for an AFL debut, having slotted three goals from 16 disposals in the VFL in Round 11, with Tyler Sonsie and Steely Green possibly facing omission.
Noah Balta is eligible to face the Bulldogs given the 3.20pm start time, and with Campbell Gray out of action for an indefinite period due to a knee injury, Jacob Blight poses as next-in-line in terms of key defensive depth.
Yze’s match committee could look to forward Mykelti Lefau for a recall after completing his ACL recovery, with both of Jonty Faull and Tom Sims — who each recorded negative player ratings against the Swans — possibly due for a spell.
The heartbreaking news from last week was the repeat ACL injury suffered by Judson Clarke — whose senior return was at the time imminent. Sam Lalor will soon be in the frame for a return following his hamstring setback, but that still won’t be for at least a week, maybe more.

INS: Blight, Alger
OUTS: Sims, Smith

Problem with taking out Sims is Blight will have to second ruck, that means he pretty much has to play fwd as I think it’s too disruptive to the backline. Blight is a D50 player, no doubt about that to me, just don’t think it’s worth bringing him in to play fwd.
It’s interesting because we all of a sudden find ourselves with lots of tall options in the backline. Really liked what Gray was doing, but with his injury it might give some opportunity to
Blight.
In: Alger, Trezise
Out: Green, Smith

Nothing against the kid - I’m a big fan already but I think it’s time to rest Faull and bring in Mykelti .

Was thinking the same the last two weeks but hopefully with the bye he's fresh and ready to go.
I'd consider Mykelti for Sims. Just not sure Sims is ready enough but the exposure is still good for him.

In the Mix: Round 15

Short requires an additional week on the sidelines, having not moved through his calf tests as expected. Lalor has returned to high-speed running, and has been earmarked for a return straight into the ones when ready. The No.1 pick virtually skipped the mid-season bye, attending the club for training alongside Armstrong and Gibcus. The club says Gray’'s knee "didn’t respond well to [running] at all", and more time is needed for swelling to settle before a timeline is determined. Jasper Alger (3.2 from 16 in his last VFL game) is one who could come into the frame for an AFL debut, the small forward having been an emergency in a few recent games. Rhyan Mansell was subbed off in the third term after just two touches against Sydney. Hotton is likely to make his VFL debut this week, having overcome an ACL injury suffered in his draft year.

Really relieved that Short is still injured, hate to say it and be so rude.
Keen to see Alger debut and Hotton play VFL.

Lefau isn’t exactly banging the door down in the 2’s.

He was pulled out of the last VFL game at half time to be the emergency first the AFL, so I reckon he's close
-
Sims is averaging 8 disposals and 0.3 of a goal per game and Faull is similar from 9 games (straighter kicking for goal might have helped that stat.
Lefau averaging 10 disposals and a goal in the 2’s. As I said, not exactly banging the door down here.

Are you watching the VFL games?
His physical presence is massive compared to Sims and Faull.
Forget the stats. I'd play him and Lynch with a kid.

I am not watching the vfl but don’t tell me jacob blight doesn’t deserve a shot ahead of folau.
Put Balta forward and Blight down back. Be a presence but have an impact and kick more than a goal a game lefau

Well for starters Israel Folau was a seriously poo AFL player hehehe.
No I think Blight deserves a game and I've been saying this very clearly in other threads. I just don't think he should play forward.
I'd like to see both Lefau and Blight in the team to rest Sims/Faull and Trainor. The club has subbed Trainor off twice in the last few games or so - if the kids is tired just rest him IMO.
-
Blight just doesn’t have the skills for afl imo.
-
Blight has earnt a game Izzy Folau has not.
Put Balta forward.
-
Have people forgotten just how bad balta looked as a forward?
We have lynch, 4 young kpfs that we should be getting as many games we can into and then Israel Folau for depth/rotation.
-

Too early to be calling this IMO. He's played 8 games and been passed around the field more than my ex wife.
Still reckon he's a chance down back with Balta, Miller and Trainor. I think we can play all 4 if Trainor plays on a small.
Geez Folau needs some games as well with Lynch in his final hurrah. He's a mature body and can ruck a bit too.
