Obviously Nank will be out for 8 or 9 weeks , Bauer injured , Pickett and MJ are adding next to zero, as is Miller but he is tall.

Soldo played well yesterday so hell come in , I’d bring Ryan back in now , not against giving Coulthard a game , showed a bit yesterday , though not great yesterday Wouldnt mind seeing the Sonz come in
 
I thought Millar was OK and now Nank is out, he becomes more important as a back up ruck.

Mansell for MJ
Ross for Banks
Soldo for Nank
?? for Bauer

Need someone who can mark and play as 3rd tall in our forward line
Can Trezise do the job?
 
The lack of a 2nd tall up fwd is getting bigger by the week.
Full backs are lining up too play on Jack nowdays.
Stick Lynch in a moonboot and play him only out of the goalsquare.
 
v West Coast away
In Cumberland, Mansell, Ross, Soldo and Trezise*.
Out Bauer hamstring, Cotchin managed, (the days off we can afford to give him at this stage will make him more effective when he plays), Nankervis, (2 weeks reasonable-but probably, given that he is our Captain and the MRO gives us nothing, sent straight to the tribunal), Pickett and Rioli M Jr, (narrowly tipped out by Mansell's availability).

B Young Balta Grimes captain.
HB Rioli D, Broad Vlastuin
C Ross Bolton Trezise*
HF Hopper Baker (vice-captain for the absence of Nank), Cumberland
F Mansell Miller Riewoldt, (has lost most of what he had but he is still trying as hard as he can, just never stops,...and possibly last chance for a bag as there is no certainty he survives until finals).
R Soldo Martin Taranto
I/C Banks Graham McIntosh and Prestia
Sub Pickett
Em Rioli M Jr.

Out: Nank, Bauer
In: Soldo, Ross

Agree. Keep it simple.

If we plan to rest Cotch for a week, this is the one and either Sonz or Dow comes in, or potentially we even play another small and play both Mansell and MRJ in the same forward line, but if no resting keep it simple with the 2 changes you state.

A few on here looking ahead to the Melbourne game and understandably so. Suggest we focus on the WCE and avoid an embarrassing banana peel slip
