Getting in early on this thread only to point out we are marginal favourites for this game, right now at least.

Changes- Balta out- Soldo or Ryan in.
Dusty in, not sure out? Lambert/Edwards to sub?
and maybe Rioli in Clarke out.
 
we go from Thursday night, when no one wants to go, but great for TV, to almost the worst TV timeslot of the week, for the 2nd biggest game of the weekend.

Yeah, 4:35 on a Sat is a weird time. Nevertheless I'll be there, helps that the MCG is a 10 minute walk from my place.

Out Lambert Edwards Balta
What if the best player in the VFL isn't that good, which has been the case recently? And you're leaving MJ, Gibbo, Ralph and Judson and in-principle Miller, 5 players with combined 38 games experience?
 
If Ryan has another good game at VFL level then I would bring him in to replace Balta rather than Soldo.
 
Soldo for Balta, cant have Jack rucking! Rioli must come in and pressure the Geelong defence, Dusty if he is over the flu.

Out: Balta, Then open debate - lambert ok after an 8 day break ? Edwards ? Hugo? Judson ?

Still a healthy list - over to you match selection.

Bris - you appear to have forgotten 1 big in

Out: Balta, Tarrant, Lambert (I think he will be a week on, week off time of impact player this year)
In: Ryan, Miller, Martin

Possibly a chance to freshen it up with MRJ in for Shedda, but we might do that against West Coast.

Dusty, the forgotten man!

Reckon Lambert will be right to go again after a 9 day break

Got to give the VFL guys something to fight for
we can’t keep carrying Edwards and the warrior Lambert in the same side expecting others to take up the slack

Assuming decent weather, Dusty’s availability and depending on Sundays VFL form I like Martin, Miller, Ryan and Stack for our game against Geelong.
Not sure of Tarrant’s hand injury situation but his game last night again did not impress.
My outs would be Balta, Edwards, Rioli Jr and Tarrant.
Gibcus for a rest also, and to give Ryan a shot.

B Broad Grimes Miller
HB Stack Vlastuin Rioli D,
C McIntosh Short Pickett
HF Baker Graham Bolton
F Martin Lynch Riewoldt
R Nankervis Cotchin Prestia
I/C Clarke, Lambert, Ralphsmith and Ryan.
Sub Edwards.
Em Gibcus, Mansell and Rioli M Jr.
