Think Libba and Richards comes back in for VDM and Harmes but not sure who comes in for Darcy as he will most likely be suspended.

Figure its now or never for Bedendo.Bedendo in for Darcy
I asked Nick Coffield this morning when Libba will come back. His response was, "Next week". I wasn't aware that was common knowledge. I ventured in here to provide that update only to see you guys are all over it.
Libba and Ed are huge ins.
Sad to see Harmes and VDM injured but VDM would have made way anyway. Harmes getting injured just means that someone like McNeil keeps his spot for another week or two.
He said he'll be back the week after the bye. He'll no doubt play a few weeks in the VFL.Any idea when when Nick will be back?
He needs some luck with injuries

I may have heard wrong, but I thought I heard him say he did his calf (or maybe it was his hammy) during his shoulder rehab. Was this known / made public?
Odonnell needs time to find his feet in the backline and get some continuity there. Can't see him being moved forward just to accommodate Busslinger.If Libba and Richards are in.
OUT: Darcy (susp), Harmes (inj), Vandermeer (inj)
IN: Busslinger, Liberatore, Richards
FB: Duryea - Jones - Busslinger
HB: Dale - Keath - Bramble
C: Daniel - Bontempelli - Williams
HF: Garcia - O'Donnell - Macrae
FF: Lobb - JUH - West
R: English - Liberatore - Treloar
I: Richards - Freijah - Sanders - Gallagher
S: McNeil
Baker in if no Richards, Poulter if no Libba.
Other options under consideration: Khamis or Bedendo in for Darcy, but I like the idea of giving Buss an opportunity and holding the tall structure that we intend on playing all season.
Winning has to come first. I don't have any confidence Khamis or Bedendo will help us do so, nor do I think any of our small forwards are in strong enough goal kicking form for us to win with a smaller forward line.Odonnell needs time to find his feet in the backline and get some continuity there. Can't see him being moved forward just to accommodate Busslinger.
Odonnell played well last night as the third tall. Would be annoying for him to be moved around now.

Definitely better back than forward but he may be able to play a fwd role effectively enough in Darcy and Naughton's absence. Better than any other current tall option anyway if we want to preserve a 3 tall fwd structure.O'Donnell looked positively awful playing forward.
Looks a natural back, I don't think it's wise to be moving him.
