Prestia won't play till next week.

Wouldn't mind Sonsie but reckon one more week of VFL. He will gas out in the first qtr v Dogs. Needs the fitness.

JR8 in for Grimes (Balta goes back)
Aarts out
Mansell or RCD in.

Reckon that backline may get smashed Spooker. How many games has G, T & M played together? Dogs are also very small up front.

Those suggesting Stack as sub after not playing last week, do you think it would be good for his season to possibly not play for another week?

Aarts or Shedwards as sub for me.

either Mansell or Miller for Grimes.
Jack for Soldo.
Prestia for ShEdwards (sub)
Aarts out.
 
Balta will not play back. Not sure why so many seem to think he will.

They will choose between Miller or Mansell to replace Grimes, potentially Mansell more likely due to matchups. The other outside the box is one of Stack, Cumbo or MRJ for Grimes and move Bakes down back. Maybe both Mansell and one of the forwards and Hugo to the bench.
If Dion is fit he comes in, I'd bring him in for Ross.
Jack for Soldo who has to be left out.

So for me.

In Prestia, Riewoldt, Cumberland, Mansell
Out Grimes, Ross, Soldo, Hugo (to sub), Aarts (back to break in case of emergency please)

Being overrun in final quarters.
Need to drop in an extra zone defender, a reduced forward line.
Increase the tackling pressure, for more ball-ups, ability to regroup and rezone.
Similar to Sydney Swans at their peak, ugly but controlling defensive footy.
 
In - RCD, Sonsie, stack, Prestia
Out - aarts, grimes, castagna, soldo

we should wait for another week for Prestia. Can't have him and Stack (who missed last week) in the same team this week only one of them too risky.

I have a feeling it will just be the 2 changes. Reiwoldt in for Grimes and Prestia in for maybe Ross. I just can't see us bringing in 2 talls Reiwoldt and Miller for 1 tall giving us with even less run than last week.

I can't see how the 3 tall forwards will work. I think it would suck but it feels like Balta will be moved back again.

Oh, probably Aarts out as sub.
 
Why the hate for Ross? Thought he wasnt amongst our worse, even in the last quarter and a bit.
