Heeney coming off the edge of the square. I’d like to see it.

Happy they are taking a leaf from the Horse Book of Howlers in playing half fit blokes

IMO Buddy being "dropped" for the rest of this year will look like "He wasn't feeling 100% so we will see how he goes with training next week."
If T Mac is right I would see him come in for either Mellican or Francis. Would be my only change. If Hayward is given a game being the teachers pet, what are the chances of Paps getting dropped and Hayward taking his forward spot. Probably leaves us thin on midfield rotations, that’s the only thing.

Regarding a great point Kiama Chris made about Geelong's success in stifling our outlet players in and around clearances, I suspect they will try to do the same again. Two ways I'd like to see us work around this at centre bounces:
1. If it's a high-pressure game and we can't use our outside mids/wingmen, we could bomb it long for territory. Geelong's defence love when teams bomb it long, but not so much if its deep forward and Stewart, Henry and the like have to defend forward stoppages at ground level. If we can win some clearances out the front of stoppages, we could at least get some deeper entries off those long bombs. If Geelong's defenders are marking our centre breaks around the 40-60m out zone, then... yikes.
2. We could also use our half-backs more, and I'd like to see them really pushing up and being pro-active more in this game. They've had next to no effect the last two times we played them. It's harder to cut off a moving target tearing off the back of the centre square than it is a stationary target waiting for the receive on the outside. We could maybe use our receivers/wingmen - Gulden, Campbell, McInerney etc. - as something of a decoy, to allow our half backs to push up for receives from clearances instead.
So from our centre bounces I'll be looking for run and carry from half backs and long bombs that clear the half forward zone. Of course all of the above is rendered absolutely pointless if we fail to win the ball at the coalface as we've done the last two times we've played them.

If that happened, and dangerfield went off injured, the AFL would stop the game and drag a gallows out on the field and lynch Heeney on the spot.
Watch him be BOG now would be typical

JPK situation was totally different. Needed some match practice before a big final and test out a dodgy hammy.

Reckon Danger will play up forward? And there's no way he had a collapsed lung.

Well there you go, Errol's influence on the game has me so mesmerised that I've turned into an All Australian selector.

I nominate you for promotion to the All Australian selection committee!
Do you often have to make the decision?

Dangerfield up foward is a real worry. Umps will be whistle happy as they have been in the past. Protected species.
Thanks caesar88 nice strategising. Another thing that can work is to shuffle it twice or even three times. Richmond did this quite a lot. Because of our intention to get the ball into 50 quickly I don't see us do it often.
Hopefully we will have plans A, B, C, D, E etc. and keep their defenders fully accountable.

Mods can we please have a short term ban for the use of the phrase ‘season defining’.
This is the week the the ‘one day at a time’ cliche was built for.
