With zero tackles inside 50, you just know at least one, if not both of McHenry and Murphy will be back.

The coaches will misread the situation of course. The only part of the ground that remotely performed to a reasonable standard was our small forward line
 
We have to be honest, no amount of changes to that squad would stop today. Our midfield is the worst in the comp and will be for a long time. We are not setup to beat teams like GWS in the middle and we haven't drafted to do this. It doesn't matter if we have the best forwards in the comp if we can't win a centre clearance.
Long time??? I've seen enough in Soligo, Rachele, Berry, Shoenberg and Pedlar to suggest otherwise we won't be in a few years and Rankine can be anything if he does become a midfielder.
 
Murphy for McAdam… why?
McAdam suspended, probably for 3+ weeks.

Murphy is clearly next cab off the rank, when it comes to small forwards - ahead of McHenry, and Gollant (more a mid-sized forward). Don't forget that Murphy was named on the extended interchange bench on Thursday night. It's obviously not going to be popular with BF, who have a sheeple "we hate Murphy" thing going, but it's fairly obvious that's the way the selectors are thinking.

McAdam isn’t a small forward. That’s not his role.

McAdam is not a small forward, it doesn’t make sense for Murphy to come in as his replacement
 
Few unknowns.

How is Murray? If injured & gather Worrell not ready, Keane could be getting an early debut for the Crows.

Will McAdam get rubbed out with no concussion caused? Very lucky he didn't cause more damage. Gollant would be the obvious replacement.

With the game played in heat & 6 day break, we should be looking at making more than the usual changes.

Don't have all the answers, but we should be considering many of our players on the fringe given they are fresh from no sanfl.

Schoenberg for Taylor.
Thilthorpe for Himmelberg or ROB.
Smith/Hamill for Parnell
Jones for Hinge

We also need to pick more of an impact sub.
 
Pickett gets 2 weeks so no way Shano gets more than that if the MR are fair dinkum...
Franklin offered 1 week I think. His bump similar to McAdams so should be no more than that. Picketts bump was far worse.

Murray had a corked thigh. Reckon he'd be alright to play.
