    HF: Sam Lloyd, Aaron Naughton, Toby McLean
    F: Billy Gowers, Josh Schache, Mitch Wallis
    Foll: Tim English, Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Macrae

    I/C: Caleb Daniel, Jackson Trengove, Ed Richards, Matthew Suckling

    EMERG: Bailey Smith, Will Hayes, Patrick Lipinski, Lachlan Young


    NEW: Sam Lloyd (Richmond)


    UNAVAILABLE: Tom Boyd (back), Ben Cavarra (quad), Bailey Dale (ankle), Jason Johannisen (ankle), Lin Jong (hamstring), Buku Khamis (knee), Liam Picken (concussion), Laithan Vandermeer (hamstring), Lukas Webb (neck).

    NOTES: The final spot came down to Matt Suckling or Bailey Smith, but given the draftee has played less than 50 per cent game time in both JLT Series matches, it's hard to mount a case for him.

    Aaron Naughton is a lock to play forward alongside Josh Schache, while Sam Lloyd wins a game after an impressive JLT2.

    The ruck conundrum is a fascinating prospect for Luke Beveridge, but given the doubts at either end of the ground, Jackson Trengove plays as a second ruck and all-round 'Mr Fix It'.

    While the defence appears undersized, Easton Wood and Bailey Williams have the ability to play taller. - Mitch Cleary
    I can't disagree with this team. I thought Will Hayes should something but hard to fit him in.

    Not to say I agree with it, but the likelihood of no Bud makes it a bit easier to play Naughton up forward.

    I haven't seen anything to suggest the Duryea is a walk up start. Naughton goes to FB ffs and leave him there.

    I suspect, we will have him in the 22 largely based on his ability to help organise the back line

    I've seen Duryea potted a bit on here - was neutral about his recruitment, but I thought he was pretty good against St Kilda.

    He will be okay for us. He was never going to be star but he's experienced and a good kick.

    Hopefully making some progress and being a viable option to help replace the unreplaceable Morris in some way.

    I actually don't think we replace his spot with a tall defender. Naughton plays back, alongside Cordy and Wood. Wood really can't play D4, so this structurally makes it easier for him and his role I believe. The other spots dedicated to rebound. No point trying to be something we can't, might as well play what we have and get rebound.

    I completely agree. One of the points I wanted to make with the Wood thread was that we were a bit light on for rebound with all 4 of Naughton Cordy Wood and Morris. I think this is probably a better balance even though we'll miss Morris's defensive efforts (all the more reason we need Wood to step up)

    It's funny how things work. Morris is a 'greater than the parts' type player but one thing he isn't is a run and carry type/dynamic ball user...and the questions being asked about whether he and Wood could play in the same back 6 were 100% legit (if in my opinion a bit over-stated due to my earlier comment about him being > sum of the parts).

    Now he isn't there. So I suspect a running type will come in.
    Now he isn't there. So I suspect Naughton will NEED to play back.

    Like I said, sometimes things just work out the way they work out and coaches/match committees/etc really have zero input to any of it...

    (You could say the Richmond small forward setup was 100% the outcome of a poor performing Ty Vickery and the failure of high draft pick Ben Lennon to come through...and NOTHING to do with Hardwick and co - 'cos they gave Vickery and Lennon 100000 chances....one premiership and another top of table season later, who gets the credit).

    p.s. None of this is a knock on Morris who is basically my favourite player of all time and certainly my favourite of the past 25 years.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
