Honestly, no idea. I would not pick him, but I think they will.
Freijah has played all over the ground, so although an extra defender, one is cover for him anyway.
Croft was a big chance to debut this week with a solid VFL game, but one kick unfortunately isn't going to do it. Hopefully we get one of Hynes or Buss debut this week, Dolan looks great when he has the ball, but isn't getting enough of it yet and might be in need of a week off. Poulter must be close also as a travelling emergency and Duryea could be back but seems like they want him to have a run in the VFL first.
Hopefully VDM is good to go with the knee, has become an important player in a tough role for us where we don't have a ton of depth.

I hate the fact the VFL are not playing again. Hard to get games into players pushing for a promotion.

My thought is that Duryea has been given a bit of a freshen up to ensure he was ready for this game specifically to play on Cameron. Not as quick as he was but still our best option for an oppo small forward.
I hate to be that guy but I kind of want to see Freijah back in defense.
He's my favourite player to watch when Bont isn't playing and I think he'll be a superstar in 3-4 years.
But I think his split needs to be more kind 80-20 backline-midfield, his ball use is elite and he can break lines. Now that Sanders is coming on and Harmes can pinch hit in there, I think we can afford to give Fridge the time and space down back to rebound but still give the occasion CB for a point of difference.
He's started as a forward at CB but I think that's just for 666 so he can come up as the extra mid, I don't think he's actually playing as a forward at those times to my eyes?
