Great news with Grant, I was even happy with one week.
Bobby and Shaggy will be interesting, would have loved the break to come 2 weeks earlier. I would like us to be cautious with Bobby. Getting his body right is massive for us later in the season. There is a massive temptation to bring them both in as we are struggling to fill out the 22.
I think Callan needs to be ahead of Addison. As much of a negative selection as it looks, Dylan just seems a poor man's version of Callan (that makes for a very poor man). Callan is stronger, more composed and can actually find the ball.
I really wanted to drop Eagleton as well but there just wasn't anyone else to bring in and Eagleton may contribute something, the other three were giving nothing at all.
With Grant now safe do you drop Eagleton?
I guess having Murphy also a possible inclusion gives us another option.
Having just watched the game again I think you have those out's + Eagleton correct.

Offset by Hargrave probably not coming up.
If Murphy plays send him straight to the HBF.
Grant for Eagleton might make us a bit top heavy up forward but it does give us a bit of flexibility if Lake has to take a turn on Brown. Josh Hill will have to take his turn further up the ground.

What Callan offers is the dour, nuggety back pocket type player. Yep he's not going to create, but his man sure as heck isn't going to get too many easy balls.
I'd like to see more changes but there isn't too much point yet, shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic really.
Players we need to see in by the end of the season if we're to have any chance: Johnson, Murphy, Akermanis, Ward, Hargrave
Players out of the team if we are to have any chance: Hahn, Eagleton, Stack, Addison, Moles
The game has gone past Mitch and Eagle and Stack, Addison and Moles aren't at the level required, they might get to to that level but not yet.
A bunch of other guys need to improve a hell of a lot too. Rather than an incremental improvement on last year a number of players are worse in a number of areas, skills and decision making mainly.

I agree he's probably quicker than most but he doesn't run as hard and he's not as skilful by foot as a midfielder. I haven't checked any stats but I would suggest that marks still account for about 50% of his possesions.
