Im backing the kids in on this one, let's see what they've got when the heats on.
Assess them on the Sunday morning after we compose ourselves.

I would only make one change and that would be to bring in Jacko for one of the flankers. Back the kids in as Marshall provides support to Dixon, Howard provides excellent flexibility especially if Jacko does come back into the team and Johnson, Bonner and to a lesser extent Houston, Neade, Amon, SPP & DBJ can all play very important roles that keeps the side balanced.
Looking at the 2013 Elimination side there were many young players; a first year Wines & Colquhoun, a still young Pittard, Young & Moore as well as second year Wingard and don't forget Lobbe in ruck.

Hinkley stated as much in a recent interview .. 'Would have played him earlier, but some personal (non-footy) issues prevented him. All clear now, so he got a game.' Why would Ken state it in public if it wasnt true?

I've got a man-boner for Austin, but he was miles off it when he came in this season.
If - if - we're reaching for extra height down back it has to be Trengove.

Would like to give Trengove one last opportunity. Plus we could have a fair bit of flexibility with him in.

Paddy with a week off is going to burn. Jacko as much as l like limits our flexibility.

Jacko's best game this season, and by a country kilometre was in round 16 against the toast in Perth, and assuming he plays ok for the Maggies this weekend I expect he will get a call up.
Re Lienert, there is no doubt he is a magnificent kick of the footy, not sure how he would go in the more physical environment of AFL though, as he is probably more a wingman type at that level than he is a defender, and I suspect he has been upgraded as insurance only.

Hombsch out for the season with a hip. Guess Trengove gets his spot?

A forward line of Petrie, Darling and Kennedy demands we play another tall. Thought both Petrie and particularly Darling were good last week. They also have good size in the backline which has killed us every game at AO.
No Hombsch. No Jonas.
It has to be Jackson in defence.

Agree. I think those are actually pretty decent match-ups. I reckon Jacko can beat Petrie and Clurey can go with Kennedy up the ground as he has good endurance and Doogs has the athleticism and burst pace to match Darling.
As an self-confessed ignorant, I was expecting Hombsch to come back in for finals v the WC forward line.
If Jackson played down back this weekend it'll give us an indication in where or if Ken wants him in against West Coast.
have to play another tall down back! trengove to be the man, and when / if petrie goes to the ruck follow him and ryder up forward etc.
one of the flankers, bonner out.
wouldnt be against archee for johnson and just stick him up forward

If Hinkley was lying about it, then KT directly lied to me. Doubt that's the case.

Jacko comes in to play on Petrie. Probably Bonner that misses out unfortunately.
