To my own mind the return of Aish would see the dropping of Greenwood, but Aish doesn't play and so the pig stays. Taking him out would see to lose us a defender.
But I dunno. I think it's fair to say that Greenwood --as well as Varcoe and Brown-- could also be on the chopping block.
Oh, the news headline fun that can be had this week!

Grundy loves rucking solo, he will thrive.

For mine

Mine is similar except it was Dunne v Roughhead but after a few games it has been much of a muchness.
A fit and firing Wells would improve our delivery inside forward 50 immensely. It's unfortunate his body rarely holds up but he might have one more purple patch of form in him at AFL level. A gun when fit.
Love watching Gray as well, just not the times he has torn the pies a new one.

Reid has never relied on pace to create impact. It was his ability to get into position, his 1-on-1 skills, marking, and kicking.
In that respect if his body is (and remains) healthy, ** knock-on-wood **, he might pleasantly surprise us all.

Well it'll be Reid for Cox. It's a shame Reidys body hasn't held up because he was a genuine A grader at his best. He'll do a good job Friday night, just needs to give Grundy a 5 min chop out per quarter. Very smart player so expecting he can hit the scoreboard and snag a few goals, will take a good defender at the bare minimum.
I now think they'll hold on Wellsy for another few weeks.
Billy will come back in for either JT or Brown. I'm leaning towards Browny.
Aish or Greenwood, take your pick.

I'd go with, Hurley jumps on Cox.
Have we all forgotten Sier already. He is best 22.
To me our best 22 is missing Cox, Sier, Mayne
Greenwood needs to go and occupy Boak, Boak has been in brilliant form this season and has really been the barometer for the Power this season. As has been mentioned by many on this board, when Levi isn't tagging he isn't offering much.
Varcoe can provide great forward pressure so stays for mine, meaning Brown the unlucky one this week, as Elliot comes straight back in.
IN: Reid, Elliot
OUT: Cox, Brown

Crisp, Moore, Langdon
Grundy, Beams, Adams
Sidebottom, Pendlebury, Phillips,
Thomas, Reid, Stephenson

Hoskin-Elliot, Treloar, Varcoe, Greenwood

He is best 22 agreed...…………..but he has plenty of work to do before he is back in the Seniors.
Welcome back Ben! Have a cracker and give the selectors some headaches for next week.
So who plays second ruck? Luckily we have two legitimate options.
Moore or Roughead?

Reid did in the Bullants game so I assume the structure in the seniors will not change.

I’m happy for others to indulge in this type of discussion, but it’s a straight out no from me. It falls under poor list management 101.
Reid in the ruck against Ryder or Lycett will be a massacre. I am with most that although tempting to play Reid back and Roughy forward as relief ruck, it messes with our structure. Also not sure Roughy is much chop forward.
We will really need to have the game on our terms if possible when resting Grundy. Slow down momentum of the game, keep possession and let Grundy have 2-3 minute rest each quarter without too much damage to the score board.

In: Reid, Elliott
Out: Cox and either Brown or Thomas
Think we need Greenwood and Varcoe if Roughhead is going to be the second ruck, if he isn't and Reid gives Grundy help in the ruck, then maybe Greenwood or Varcoe is the second out. Have seen Reid a few times in the VFL ruck.
Will be interesting the way the match committee will be thinking.

Reid is in?
Are we the first Top 4 team to tank from the Top 4?

I seriously doubt that and even more seriously hope I’m right.
I’d opt for Roughead. Howe and Langdon can cover key back in his absence for five minutes a quarter.

If we drop Langdon, Ed, then I'd suggest you might be onto something!
Reid hasn't played in defence in many years. Won't happen
He’s never played ruck and people are suggesting that!
There’s no reason Roughy or Moore can’t play in defence and cover as second ruck. In other words there’s no rule that says your second ruck has to be a forward.
