Who does he replace?

More and more I think it's going to be a bit more than just Dickson for West.
I can see Trengove for Young happening.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Trengove was very good on the weekend.

Daniel and Dickson would need to be 110% fit imo. Finals history is littered with failures caused by playing those not fully fit.
I also can't see why Young would lose his place. far more athletic than Trengove to match up on Cameron, Finlayson, Himmelberg etc

Trengove is one of the best in the competition in terms of one on one percentage. He is underrated by Bulldog fans.

He is your dower defender, not pretty, but gets the job done.

I would think he replaces Richards or Hayes, and Suckling moves up the ground. Although I wouldn't be upset with Caleb on a wing either.
The coaching and medical staff, and Caleb, must be very confident with his body because he will be playing.

I think Suckling has been very good on a HBF, I wouldn't want him to move up the ground.

Have I missed something, how is it that Caleb is available to play? Wasn't he out until the GF if we were to make it?
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

That was the original thought, but Bevo spoke about it here, saying that he was more likely than Libba. Since that article his rehab has gone very well.
The question is where he fits in to our team, with our half back line working so well.

Not by me. I was surprised he was dropped.

It seems like there's 3 choices to be made:
Trengove vs Cordy
Liberatore vs Richards
Dickson vs West
Trengove vs Cordy
Trengove has more experience, although Cordy is a premiership player. Trengove has had a better season, but for brain fading disposals sometimes deep in defence. If a vicious football hits English in the eye and we need someone to step up and break even against Mumford, Tremgove is the man. Cordy can go play as a Defensive forward, but that shouldn't be needed. Maybe JT's bigger body and experience gives him a slight edge.
Liberatore vs Richards
I like the foot speed of Richards but he's not impacting games to the level that Liberatore can. If Libba is fit to play, he plays for his talent as well as experience in big games and ability to lock down opposition guns at the contest and then win his own footy after.
Dickson vs West
While West is quicker and is kamikaze at the footy and I wish he could play, if Dickson is fit we need as many reliable kicks at goal as we can. So Dickson with a lot more big game experience and goal kicking ability.
Ins: Trengove, Liberatore, Dickson
Outs: Cordy, Richards, West (all omitted)
I'd bring along any 2016 premiership players to create some good vibes, Morris, Picken, Tom Boyd, Cordy or Roberts if they can.
I've just seen Libba is still out 'indefinite'.
So it's just really two open questions right now as I see it.
Trengove or Cordy
Dickson or West/Richards
Trengove & Dickson come in. Cordy & West unlucky outs.

I think I've been taught an important lesson in the last 48 hours. And that is, don't trust AFL footballers when they're drunk. Even very short AFL footballers.
