Banks is the natural option to replace Vlastuin as he would be his replacement in a couple of years.
Young can come in and play CHB allowing Broad to go back to his usual role as third (fourth) tall.
Ross (and Graham) should go into the guts while Prestia - who was obviously by far the slowest player on the paddock last week - can take a break.
Picket must go back to wing as he seemed totally lost forward. If Ralphsmith is played it should be on a wing for the future.
Will be interesting to see whether they pick Cumberland since he lost Dimma but kicked four last week.
Using Biggie is not necessary just yet. Let him wait for a week or two to see if Ryan drops off as the FF/ruck.
If Grimes is that sore maybe Biggy can take his job as BP although using both Young and Biggy may be a risk too far.
In the same way that Dimma's retirment has given us the prime chance to strongly check senior coaches, we need to look at the team for the next couple of years and see who can pass the test as a senior player.
If Cotchin, Riewoldt, Tarrant and maybe Prestia, Broad and McIntosh go this year and Grimes, Martin, Picket, Vlastuin next year then we need to look at the kids and that's Bradtke, Young, Banks, Clarke, Mansell, Ralphsmith, Dow, Sonsie, Brown and Gibcus asap.
A decision on Ross and Graham as mids needs to be made or replacements found for Cotchin, Prestia and Dusty.
Cotchin - Ross Riewoldt - Bradtke Tarrant - Young Prestia - Sonsie Broad - Brown McIntosh - Ralphsmith
Grimes - Gibcus Martin - Graham Picket - Dow Vlastuin -Banks
That's a lot if IFs with nothing underneath except Clarke and Mansell who are dicing with Cumberland and MRJ for the HFF right now.
Calls for a totally different approach from McQualter and the other coaches with no guarantees from an incoming senior coach.
