    Who do you guys think will make way for Jones; JJ and Austin? Maybe Stevens; Wallis and Williams.

        It's more than likely that just the 7 players on the bench will be reduced to 4. Williams and Stevens have been named in the starting line-up.

          Good point. It would be a rough call for Grant to be dropped after one game. Also the rat surely is deserving of another game.

              I hope for gods sake Austin doesn't play on Cloke, he will be smashed.

                Why wouldn't Roughead play on Cloke with Austin taking the resting ruckman in the back pocket?

                    I'm still trying to work out how Williams has been given another game. Trying to come up with 1 valid reason to play him ahead of Jones and i just can't.

                      At this stage I think the changes will be Boyd for Howard and Austin for Tutt. I'd be very surprised if any of Wallis, Grant or Hrovat are dropped as two younger ones were decent on the weekend and why would we put Grant in to take him out again. Austin wasn't elevated to be an emergency so Tutt is the least secure on that bench.

                      I'm disappointed Jones isn't in the side though, I think he has been showing a bit in his last few performances and is a key component of our future.

                        How about kicked two goals and tapped one to Hrovat.

                          Does Morris take White? Hence Roughy on Cloke & Austin on Witts/Grundy? Does Picken take Elliott? Or do we give Wood that job & send Picken to a mid?

                            Think Roughead plays on Cloke, Austin takes White - and Morris to play on Jamie Elliott, who has been their most dangerous forward this season.

                            Although I much prefer Jones to be playing CHF than Williams, I don't think Williams was that bad last week. He is no good in a one on one, but he does get to the right spots.

                              We definitely needed another tall this week (every week actually).

                                His first goal was a very lucky bounce in the goal square unattended. The tap was clever.

                                Just don't see given the current position we are in why we would be playing him when he's clearly not setting the world on fire.
