Reckon graham or Ross is a definite , stack I dont reckon , pity he’s not in the form of 12m ago
Pickett will come in , let’s hope he responds to a kick up the backside , we can’t got with 4-5 kids , won’t happen
Just watching our 2019 GF (again) and noticed the brilliant connection in ball movement when Lynch eventually missed the lot with his shot at goal early in the 3rd qtr. The chain in play went Nankervis, Cotchin, Houli, Edwards and Lynch. All will be missing on Sunday 
Swans have a small backline - Rampe, Allir (if he doesnt ruck and he sucked last week) Melican
In Rampe they have one of the best forward matchups for Dusty
(though the stats prob show that i am wrong!)
Rampe has speed and agility of a medium defender, plus has strength as he typically plays as the last back on the big forwards.
Best to keep JR8 deep, play CCJ and allow a mismatch for the others.
Most ins are a like for like.
I am totally on the fence with the last inclusion.
We could choose a direct replacememt for Dion, or shuffle Higgo and Lambo up and get more outside run.
Shai, Pickett, Ross,
Concerns that our engine is slow - Jack G, Higgo, Lambo. At least this week its the swans.
Concerns that with Houli -> Naish it leaves 3 light smalls in defence Naish Bakes Short.
But Naish is in form.
From the reports Dow deserves and would be similar to Shedda, but do we roll the dice like we did with Marlion?
Nankervis - Soldo
Cotchin - Graham
Lynch - Coleman-Jones
Edwards - Dow
Houli - Naish
Prestia - ?? Pickett (or Shai)

I would run with Chol in combo with JR8. CCJ and Soldo to share ruck. I thought Chol was ordinary early but he competed strongly after qtr time. He can also play the high forward role as he is so athletic. Really hope CCJ gets a run, great opportunity for him over next few weeks.
We won't miss Lynchs misses this weekJust watching our 2019 GF (again) and noticed the brilliant connection in ball movement when Lynch eventually missed the lot with his shot at goal early in the 3rd qtr.

But he has the Coleman for the asking if he plays enough games.
This will be new but possibly worth a try: Speed as well as some experience on the bench if we need to cover.

Swans Roos .. Must take these two down. Our draw for first 7 weeks is very much bottom half skewed...and we are likely to cop both Qld teams there.
Bingo
I reckon its time for Graham to step up to the midfield enforcer role. Dow a lock in the Shedda role. Pickets for Prestia.
6 premiership players to go out & potentially 4 to come in (Soldo Graham Bolton & Pickett)
Not bad when you can say that.

From X Clarke,sreport on the scratch match, Marlion and Shai are sure to come in.
Not time for young bodies, though Naish is in too good form to ignore.
And I wonder if the match committee are toying with a structural change if Lynch is out, bringing in Markov.
It would be more frontline speed and not risk being too tall.
Rucks to be Soldo and Chol, forwards JR8 Markov Castagna Rioli Lambo Bolton
A crazy wild move.
In the real world
Nankervis - Soldo
Cotchin - Graham
Lynch - Coleman-Jones
Edwards - Bolton
Houli - Naish
Prestia -Pickett

As much as i would love for Lynch to play, i think they will rest him for one game.
Outs: Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards, Houli, Nank and Lynch
Ins: Soldo for Nank, CCJ for Lynch, Stack or Ross for Houli, Bolton for Edwards, Pickett for Prestia and Graham for Cotchin
Now if they decide to debut Dow then one of the above won't be in. I'd say Stack/Ross would be the unlucky one even though id have one of them in before Pickett.
Anyways you look at it it's still a damn strong side, excellent depth!
