Changes for next week against the Crows?

[Tiger Khosh]

Out: Pickett, Lynch, Naish, Ross, Ralphsmith

In: CJ, Caddy, Cotch, Bolton, Prestia

I’d also drop Rioli for stack but doubt that happens now.

Balme strongly hinted that Callum Coleman-Jones would come in to replace Lynch, among a few changes.

“There will be quite a few (inclusions)… We’ve been keen to give Coleman-Jones a chance, he’s a ruckman and a forward. Mabior Chol has been at the club a few years and it’s now or never for him in a sense, but he is a super talented kid and Callum is really exciting as well. They’re the bigger blokes who are likely to come in.”

“There’ll be a few changes. Patrick Naish is probably going to miss because he hurt his hamstring.

“There will be quite a few differences. Trent Cotchin, we’re confident he’ll play, Shane Edwards maybe-maybe not, Dion Prestia virtually a certainty as well and so is Shai Bolton I think.”

Coleman-Jones, Caddy, Chol, Martyn, Dow & Maurice Rioli jnr haven't been named in our VFL side this week.

Whereas Ross has been dropped to the ressies team.

[Francois Jackson]

so he should.

Ross he is a dud and should never play another game for us again. Too slow and too weak for our game style IMO

Im sticking to me guns and asking for the two kpf and second ruck/fwd structure lots of outs for me.

Out - Pickett suspended. Lynch inj. Naish inj. Ross omit, Houli omit. Rioli omit. Castagna omit. 7 out only two would really be missed Marlion and Tom.

IN Cavalry arrived - Bolton. Cotchin. Edwards. Prestia. Dow, CCJ. Chol.  7 in  4  were going to happen no matter what and with Lynch gone at least one tall was going to play. The only real change is the extra tall and the inclusion of Dow over spuds like Castagna and Rioli.

Team to go like this

Broad - Astbury - Grimes
Vlastuin - Balta - Short

McIntosh - Cotchin - Ralphsmith

Bolton - Riewoldt - Edwards
Aarts - CCJ - Chol

Graham - RCD - Baker - Dow.

Another way to look at it is there are 5 who have not been a part of best 22 but you would like em to and you really want to give em a go. RCD, CCJ, Dow, Chol, Hugo R. They replace out of the regular best 22 Castagna, Rioli, Houli, Ross, Naish It really is an improvement based on what they have dished up this year.

Claw, Edwards is still a week or two away from coming back.

Claw, Edwards is still a week or two away from coming back.

Balmy said maybe maybe not. Im hoping!!!    If not it probably means i have to pick Houli because there is absolutely no way id be picking either Rioli or Castagna atm.
