Easier task for the Selection Committee this week.

OUT Short Eggs
IN Graham Caddy

Stackman goes back to give the defence more skill and edge. He's been good up forward but faded out a bit today I thought and we need him down back for now.
 
If Short & Eggs goes out - we need 2 players to play back - Stack is one
 
Think Egg will be dropped. Rioli will be lucky to hold his spot. He’s really out of form at the moment.

Caddy, Graham and Baker will be chances to come in.
 
port have been on a WLWLWLWL streak for a while and sadly they are due for a W next week.

Richmond haven’t beaten port on the MCG in 21 years. 1998. Ex Richmond players chris Naish and Brett chalmers played for port that day.
Dimma was still playing at Essendon.

Apart from an outlier win against WCE they haven’t done much away from home.

dependent on VFL form, I'd go

Out: Short, Eggs, Danny,

In: Baker, Caddy, Graham

Danny really needs a chance to build confidence back in the VFL. His AFL confidence seems to be getting lower and lower.

And Mac has another stinker and escapes scrutiny. Dan is miles ahead of Mac. The length of the straight.

the roles Kmac and Danny play are about as alike as Soldo's and Castagne's

For me, drop Egg for now, slot Stack in his position as I think he plays best there and bring in Caddy up midfield/ forward. Graham could come back as we missed his grunt this week with possibly Short or Rioli missing out. It may mean we are a little top heavy up forward but they may work OK against Port
 
Graham is needed against ports big inside mids. Egg was real shaky and will go out.
 
A win for us of 110 pts like 150 to 40 gets our % around 110% which shrinks our % problem.

I kind of think our failure to really sink the sword over the last few weeks has held us back.

However, 3 from 3 since the bye is awesome.
 
Bloody hell Short first on the block, then Eggy or I'm taking crazy pills again.
