I think we'll play Melican. But if I were making changes to this suggested lineup, I'd do this:
In: Fox
Out: Roberts (to sub)
It doesn't make sense to play Roberts if we're just putting him at HB. We have enough, better HBs. If he is to play mids alongside Sheldrick, so Heeney can play up forward more, then ok, but we'd have to look at Hayward or Campbell as sub.
Dees won't have a tall fwd line, but I'd want Fox in there, especially if we're not playing Melican (I think we will anyway). I think we could also try Fox in a run with role in the mids, since he's being tried as a run with defensive forward, if we need someone for that, as a bigger body.

Don't like our forward setup. All of McDonald, McLean, and Amartey feels too tall to me. I'd drop Amartey as I think McLean is really good higher-up leading to the wing and pinch hitting in the ruck. McDonald to stay inside 50.

Fox has to be in. Modern day LRT...can play multiple roles and do them well.

No way Fox would win a Norm Smith! Oh wait….ROBBED!!
Then you've got campbell and Jmac in that rotation too which makes it very defensive heavy. Do they play sole wingman/hf roles which they haven't really done much. It's been wing/halfback with them & occasionally in the middle with Jmac. It would mean 9 players who usually play a defensive role being selected.
Campbell and JMac don’t need to be part of the defensive rotation. They can be, but there are plenty of other roles where they can do damage.
McInerney was even attending centre bounces in the GWS practice match. I won’t be surprised to see him in there a few times against Melbourne.

I don't know how we could fit both Fox & Sheldrick in.
Although I don't know if there's a need for Roberts with Lloyd returning.

Fox Footy Crew at our game:
David King, Leigh Montagne, Sarah Jones, Jason Dunstall
Oh god, and On The Couch had the Demons 'come back from the drama' spiel and how great their response has been. Sigh.

I feel like they are though.
B - Blakey, Rampe, Cunningham
HB - Lloyd, McCartin, Florent
C - Jordon, Heeney, Gulden
HF - Papley, McLean, Fox
F - Wicks, McDonald, Hayward
Foll - Grundy, Rowbottom, Warner
IC - McInerney, Campbell, Amartey/Ladhams, Melican/Roberts
I don't know where else Sheldrick fits in that 22 if not in that rotating mid/resting forward position that Fox would have. Unless we don't play a third tall in the forward line, but Horse hasn't shown any indication of doing that in years.

A place in the 23 maybe , but i reckon Fox might go on a LEVER
