Keep it simple. Battle for Ryder. Roma to take number 1 ruck duties with King chopping out and Battle playing forward.

I know some will want Kent dropped but I don't see Hind or Parker offering more than him and i'd rather keep a winning team together.

Bigger question is who comes in for Long if he's suspended which I think he will be

With Ryder out, Carlisle potentially out and Battle not certain to return, we are going to have to get creative.

If Battle is fine, then he can go either forward or back which helps. We will need two true key backs this week with Lynch returning, Riewoldt and Wilkie needs to be free to play on Dusty when he goes forward.

If Battle has to play back, we either have to go Hind and play small for the first time this year. Or go Marsh, give him the job to defensively just stop Grimes from doing anything and back in King and Membrey to score for us.

IF Battle isnt fit to play, we just cry.

Roberton would have to come in if those three talls are unavailable
 
It would be a great and emotional story for Robbo to come back in a finals but he isn't a true key back and has played 1 game in close to 3 seasons.
Not ideal but surely a better option than bringing in any of Austin, Clav, or Joyce
Unless Marsh plays back but has been playing fwd for ages now, risky move sending him back for a key role
 
If Battle, Carlisle & Ryder are not available I don’t see many other options. Marsh & Robbo for Ryder & Carlisle makes sense.
Thats fair. We don't have any other options. Better to try Roberton than repeat the West Coast game and knowingly go in short.

Maybe the emotion around Robbo can stir us onto a great win.

Marsh is definitely better up forward.

You cant question his effort and hopefully some of that effort could create opportunities for Butler or Lonie to score.
 
Ryder, Long & Jake all probable outs. Really disappointing.
A huge blow, but we just have to deal with it. We can still win this game; morale is sky high and the pressure is on them. Play on adrenalin and get right in their faces. We can do it!
 
I don't get why Long would be out, insufficient injury in medico report will see him fine unless there's delayed onset of bullshitting.
Yeah I doubt he is going to cop anything for that. Was turning his body to protect himself rather then going for the full on bump and chinned him, no concussion.
