Whilst this is true for starting positions, Dawson after the bounce pushed back as a spare in defence... whilst the Lions had Rich as a spare in defence for the 1st half.
In the 2nd half, Berry followed Dawson as he was having too much influence. Arguably the match winning move.

Rich wasn’t a “spare” in defence. Unlike Dawson he started in defence, on an opponent. When the ball is in the D50, Brisbane often roll back a midfielder to pick up Rich’s man to free him up. Nothing like what we were doing with Dawson but can have a similar outcome. They are both designated kickers out of the D50.
The original comment was a response to the Elite One complaining about us using Dawson as a defender. He wasn’t a defender for the overwhelming majority of the match.

Rd 3 and against Carlton he was travelling emergency and didn’t play. The week before he had an average game in the SANFL so why he travelled as an emergency and didn’t play a game was a bit silly.

So who was Brisbane's spare then...
We basically pushed Dawson from a wing after the bounce as a spare 7th in defence.
Meanwhile our half forwards pushed further up field leaving a spare Lions defender... which most of the time was Rich.
Yep they’ve finally worked out that he’s a bit wasted at half back and often gets dragged to deep defence to take him out of the play completely, Cognilio did that exact thing and his form started to suffer
Since then he’s had more and more time on the wing , just because he’s smart at dropping behind the ball doesn’t mean he’s playing defence .
He clearly has licence to run where he wants and sees fit . I also saw him drop a contested mark I50 early in game against Brisbane offering an extra target
He’s a good half back but he’s a great and damaging wing and it’s across the centre where he should be playing
The Showdown in the SANFL was a curtain raiser to the AFL Showdown and he was considered in our best 22 at that time early in the season. So you are using the travelling emergency as an isolated example as "we totally stuff up his development this year"??

Is Butts coming out of protocols a separate transaction?
If he tests negative on Saturday morning can we then change the team and add him?

For starters I’ve never said “we totally stuffed his development this year”
In our best 22 early? Didn’t make rd 1, played rd 2, sub rd 3 and dropped rd 4.
He’s been the emergency once and sub once out of 9 games, that’s 2 games of sanfl he’s missed.

If he only tested positive Saturday morning (when he was named out) then his 7 days iso finish at midnight Saturday night and he'll be a free man from Sunday morning
Coming back from his lack of fitness, he must have trained very well to RD3 and earnt his spot.
He could well be isolated until midnight Saturday. If he got his positive result after 12.01am Saturday morning last week, that is day 0 and he has to iso until midnight Saturday this week, 5 hours after the game

Tom Highmore not playing 
Pretty sure he Callum Chambersed himself to near BOG honours in a recent game against us

I do get what you're saying, but I doubt the doctors etc would allow him to play if he was that fragile.
I'm hoping that Murphy would have done a wide range of neck-muscle-strengthening exercises etc and has a confident thumbs-up from the docs.
Having said that, the dangers of accidental, serious injury are always there.
he's been that fragile recently though.

He's clear of protocols on Saturday morning so is available if fit and well
I'm wondering if us not naming him means he still isn't 100% so won't play or is just part of the protocols where we can't name him until he becomes eligible to play again
Annoyed Newchurch hasn't been given a run out - but am glad Berg is out, he has no future at AFL level.

A bigger deal out west.
Probably since round one or two.
Don't think they've named it yet. Probably Worrell in case we need more height.
