Changes for Next Week

[Rampsation]

Time will tell I suppose.

Remember the days where we would struggle to find 22 good players?

Now we are discussing which of the 30 in form players we should leave out.

Get them in: Damien Hardwick has the pleasant task of trying to fit Brownlow medallists Dustin Martin (soreness) and Trent Cotchin (hamstring) into a side that's won seven straight games. From the twos, small forward Jake Aarts starred with 24 and three goals, while Callum Coleman-Jones (19 disposals, six marks) is steadily building a case for the second ruck/forward role.

Under the pump: It may be time forMabior Chol to have a break in the VFL. The run of wet conditions hasn't helped, but the big man managed just 53 per cent game time and four disposals. Shai Bolton (11 disposals) didn't have a huge impact, while Daniel Rioli (10) was also quiet.

Medical room: The only casualty from the weekend was rookieDerek Eggmolesse-Smith (corked buttock) in the VFL.

Verdict: Jack Ross and Jack Graham did enough to hold their own, meaning Bolton and Rioli could be in trouble for Cotchin and Martin. The option of swapping Chol for Coleman-Jones orNoah Balta is also on the table.

According to Mark Stevens there's still doubts over Cotch and Dusty:

Dusty in according to Balme but Club has not confirmed.
Cotch could miss another week (see other thread).

Balmey also said last years preliminary final there was nothing wrong with Dusty and Dave , we all know how that ended 🤦‍♂️😂

Dustin Martin, who missed last weekend's slugfest with Carlton with 'soreness', is likely to return to face the Eagles.

First-year draftee Jack Ross is also in the frame to continue after 13 weeks out from ankle surgery.

Cotchin not playing.

I saw the last quarter of the reserves last week and all I did was watch Pickett. Based on that only I would be happy to have him play ahead of Snugglers Ellis any day.

Granted I didn’t see him accumulate many disposals during that quarter but he is tough, he is poised and he is skilful and most importantly he doesn’t take a backward step nor does he shirk from a contest.

That puts him ahead of both Snugglers and Short-step as both were terrible on Sunday against the blues.
