Dow (knee) is the one in doubt.

Fire away with your changes?

Ross the only one I'd consider dropping.

Dow maybe missing.

If Dusty and Grimes are fit those are the two that will probably come in, with a bit of shuffling on the field.

Hope Dow gets up, his clearance work was enormously positive.

I'd personally like to see Castagna have a rest and Aarts back in VFL too. Maybe Castagna as sub. Id also like to see Miller stay in but for team make up might be stiff with Grimes coming back.

After such a good win dunno if many changes will happen.

1. RCD for Dow is he doesn't get up
2. I'd explore Castagna as med sub role and give Maurice jnr a crack.

Ins: Martin, RCD, Grimes
Out: Parker, Dow (inj), Miller (stiff)

INS: Grimes,  Riewoldt, RCD

OUTS: Miller, Parker, Dow (inj)

Hardwick said Grimes would return for Sunday’s clash with St Kilda, while both Prestia and Riewoldt were chances to play if fully fit. But, Hardwick emphasised he is rapt with the players in the side after Sunday's win.

He'd wanna be 100% for me, not just 'good enough'.

He shouldn't be.  The forward line looked the best it has in a long time without him today

Maurice Jnr was very good today.  Stack was too but injured his shoulder after half time and it looked serious.

RCD in for Dow...guess Grimes will come in for Miller if he gets up...likewise Riewoldt  for Parker who in turn should replace Aarts as the sub...Cumberland should come in for Catkickit but we all know that ain't gonna happen... :shh

Out Ross for me thought he was very ordinary again and just gave us nothing.

Castagna again the total lack of polish was on display again.

McIntosh did he play. On that game has to be on notice. wont be dropped though.

Graham again gave us very little on the inside but is probably safe

Dow inj.

Picking Aarts has cost a kid some game time

IN Cumberland, Riewoldt not sure if this is the right thing to do if we continue to play two ruckmen,RC-D, Grimes and a little bit of shuffling of players to allow the retention of some.

Claw- watching on the tv is not the same as watching live. McIntosh is a walk up start as his running is the key to his play. Big and strong doesn't go un-noticed either. The only area Cumberland needs to fix is his kicking. Way to inconsistent and could be found out at the top level. Looking good in the other parts of his game though...
Graham is a workhorse beast :shh

He has many flaws but McIntosh's inclusion can't be underestimated as a contribution to the win.... sets the tone for work rate..... :thumbsup

Ross I agree with.

Castagna yeah OK.

Kmac you must be joking.

Graham was fine.

If Dow is injured then Sonsie comes in for him
