Absolutely no way I'd be dropping either of them.

Geez at half time you could name half the team for the axe. 4 or 5 imo did not improve a great deal.

I will even name the 5 Edwards, Ross, Graham, Short, Pickett and i think while he always goes at it i thought Baker struggled  a fair bit as well.

MR-J RC-D, Gibcus as ins would be my starting point.

Short had a few great games in the midfield but has struggled for several weeks. Time to put him back for a while to provide some drive and get his confidence back up.

Jon Ralph post-match on Fox Footy reckons Gibcus will be the simple straight like-for-like positional swap for the injured Grimes.

If there is one thing I can guarantee it is neither Graham or Pickett will be dropped and RCD won't be selected

Out: Grimes, Edwards swap with MRJ, Miller
In: Gibcus, Biggie (2nd ruck).

Ross to keep his spot, he'll be better for the run.

Dow should be close to coming in surely, maybe for Ross

Biggie played ruck yesterday and from what I saw he'd be a long way off playing support ruck in the ones.

Gibbo may come in to provide some support down back but would also like to see MJR play

Maybe Gibbo sub

Who would you rather in the ruck with Nank? Soldo, Miller or Biggie? I vote Biggie - he's been playing in the ruck in the 2s for periods, so clearly someone in the coaching fraternity is thinking what I'm thinking.

Maybe Ryan comes in, but for Port, I don't think we need two ruckmen, and I reckon we have gone past Soldo.

Biggie is learning a new role as backup ruck/forward. Has potential but will need to further develop. Miller played this role in the second half yesterday and looked good.

It’s not just about who you’d rather play as second ruck. Nank will ruck the majority of the game so it’s more important that they can defend. Biggie didn’t look ready when he played. Rather Miller or Balta or Gibcus give nank a chop out.

LOL - First time Miller has ever played as a back-up ruck and you reckon he is a better option than Biggy - please
