It's hard to avoid using our fourth choice ruckman because the next best option is our fourth choice key defender but we can't spare him because our second, third and fifth choice key defenders are out injured.
And you chuck a midfielder in there and there's a fair chance they'll get injured doing something they're unfamiliar with.
At least Barnett is used to rucking
 
If Bailey is injured not sure how I feel playing Barnett as he isnt ready (but we may not have a choice) and we need Rotham down back as there is no one else.

Hoping a few guys go the junior or regional football stuff as stuff it im playing anyway let the beers numb the pain

Sounds like a great way to turn 2 week injuries into long term injuries

And the difference to what we have been doing is?

Lets just rush Shuey back, Sheed to he doesnt need a throat
Sheed not having a throat might work cause then he'd stop calling for the ball in stupid positions.
But rushing the bloke with tissue paper hamstrings back from a hamstring injury is just asking to be playing the sub by quarter time.
 
If Williams is out and Jamo is still unavailable. I guess we have no other option than Barnett as first ruck...

If Barnett plays it should be as the second ruckman behind a part-timer, as odd as that may sound. He needs protecting. Ginbey for a rest as well. In no circumstances can Shuey be rushed back. At some point we have to learn.


OUT: E Yeo, R Ginbey, B Williams
IN: S Hurn, Z Trew, H Barnett


FB: S Hurn, T Barrass, L Duggan
HB: J Jones, J Rotham, A Witherden
C: A Gaff, J Culley, G Clark
HF: S Petrevski-Seton, J Darling, J Hunt
FF: J Petruccelle, O Allen, N Long

R: J Waterman, T Kelly, X O'Neill

I: H Barnett, B Hough, L Edwards, Z Trew
S: C West


Apologies if I've accidently included 7 injured players above.
 
God, okay, so Yeo might be injured now.
So Trew in I guess. Dunno if Burgiel is up for a start first up, but I wouldn't mind it.
In: Hurn, Trew
Out: Yeo, XON, West (sub)
Sub: Burgiel
Take 3...
Literally down to our last reserves.
In: Hurn, Barnett, Trew
Out: Yeo, Williams, Ginbey
Sub: West
Emergencies: Foley, Bazzo, Dewar

Another option rather than Barnett as 1st ruck is Bazzo to partner Barrass and Rotham as 1st ruck.
Maybe that might be the safer option than sending Barnett in. At least Bazzo has AFL experience lol.
Last option is both Bazzo & Barnett in, with Rotham to ease the load on both of them.

Take three

Out: Yeo (curse), Williams (curse), Ginbey (managed/curse)
In: Hurn, Bazzo, Trew (as sub)

Backs: Barrass, Bazzo, Hurn, Witherden, Duggan, Hough, Jones
Mids: Kelly, Culley, West, Gaff, Hunt, Clark
Rucks: Rotham, Waterman
Forwards: Allen, Darling, Petch, SPS, Long, O’Neill, Ledwards
Sub: Trew
Emergencies: Foley, Barnett, ummm who’s left? Dewar I guess

Bazzo into the backline, Rotham to be the first ruck. Yep.

Hurn straight swap for Yeo.

West into the 22 replacing Ginbey, and into the middle to play the role he was actually drafted to play.

Trew gets a run as sub.

Don’t risk Shuey until he’s absolutely ready to come back.

SJOGHCIU report will be like War and Peace today. (Assuming they actually mention everyone who’s injured, or at least everyone we know is injured)
 
To my surprise Simmo suggested we may need Barnett to debut “in the next couple of weeks”.

I wonder if we are going to spring a Jamieson/Barnett combo vs Port

He also said up to 18 injured. So I think there is an extra we dont know about unless he is referring to Ginbey.
