Didn't think Lloyd was near our worst. Butler played one of the worst games of footy possible, did kick a crunch goal for us though.

Badly need Rioli back.

Can we get by with 2 quick small forwards? If so, Higgins/Butler out - the Bellis to return for some wing action.

You also can't tell me Anthony Miles hasn't kicked the door down and demanded a game in the seniors after a 40+ possession game & 2 goals.
The thing I’ve noticed with Butler / Castagna is that just when you write one off for poor performances the next week he has a blinder. It’s like they both change personalities from week to week and your glad they weren’t dropped.
Higgins needs a rest in the twos though.

George has been very good this season was quiet today but butler was just plain poor apart from that super clutch goal in the fourth. Don’t think butler has been up to it so far this year which is disappointing because he started extremely well in round 1.

Higgins needs a rest. Stengle, Bolton and Miles deserve to be brought in but not sure who else they will drop.

Lloyd was decent yesterday. Many to be dropped before him.

Rest Nank and Dusty .

Give Stengle another go at the expense of Higgins. 

If Prestia can't get up play Miles .

Grigg will probably come in for Townsend .

No he wasn't.

Prestia needs to play as he releases one of either Dusty or Cotch. 
Miles has to come in. Plain and simple. 
Townsend should play to negate Hurn.

Grigg back this week but doubts over Broad and Castagna due to knocks. Prestia to miss again.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Tigers believe Shaun Grigg will be available for Sunday's top of the table clash with West Coast at Optus Stadium after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury, but are expected to maintain a conservative approach with Dion Prestia, with the midfielder likely to miss a second week with a calf strain.

Scans have cleared Jason Castagna of serious knee damage after a knock during the Tigers' 10-point win over North Melbourne on Sunday.

However, his availability this week will hinge on how he trains and how the knee settles.

Defender Nathan Broad is also in some doubt after suffering a corked glute in the fourth quarter and will have to prove his fitness this week if he's to travel to Perth.

If Broad misses, it could open the door for fellow premiership backman and his housemate Brandon Ellis, who had 23 possessions in the VFL on Sunday.

Ellis hasn't played senior football since round five, with Broad and the much-improved Jayden Short squeezing him out of the side.

Young defender Ryan Garthwaite should also be available despite stretching his shoulder in the VFL, after being named as an emergency for the clash with the Roos, and midfielder Anthony Miles was unconcerned after precautionary scans on Monday following his 41 VFL disposals.
