Really difficult week for changes.
Clearly many players performed below the required standard... but so did our guys in the SANFL
Can't go in unchanged but also... can't bring in anyone
Maybe wait until Berry has two working legsJones out, McHenry in.
Murphy out, Berry or Shoenberg in.
Hinge’s ankle looked fine.. it was his hip that was sore.. he landed on it horribly in that marking contest.Tough after yesterday. Hinge's ankle looked nasty.
Maybe
Out: Hinge
In: Parnell
Thilthorpe was dreadful, but don't want to drop him again yet. Milera is droppable for pulling out of a contest, but probably not the same week as Hinge.
Ridiculous calls for RT to possibly be dropped, he learns absolutely nothing from going back to the SANFL.
A few weeks ago he was winning the game off his own boot against Port kicking 5. He is a 20 year old 202 cm player who has less than 35 games experience, he will have good and bad games and we just need to see it through.
Yeah McHenry needs to go get a full game in the SANFL. Agree on Butts especially if Collingwood don't have much height down the forward line we'd be better being more mobile with a decent ball user + pressure player brought in.Lol at McHenry being suggested as an “in”. 40 of the worst minutes of footy imaginable as a sub doesn’t get you a callup.
If we’re dropping anyone, I would suggest it would be Butts (team balance against a side devoid of talls), Milera (played terribly) or Thilthorpe (played terribly). Everyone else who played poorly enough to be dropped today has enough credits in the bank to survive.
If either or both of Laird / Hinge are unavailable due to injury, I would suggest we’re unlikely to drop anyone other than maybe Butts for team balance reasons, but Milera is the one who might have done himself in there with a complete lack of effort at times today. Nicks and co clearly value continuity.
So, there’s multiple possibilities.
Scenario 1: everyone who played against Hawthorn is deemed fit to play:
Out: Milera
In: Nankervis
OR
Out: Milera, Butts
In: Nankervis, Parnell
Scenario 2: Laird is ruled out, but Hinge is passed fit
Out: Laird
In: Schoenberg
OR
Out: Laird, Butts
In: Schoenberg, Nankervis
Scenario 3: Hinge is ruled out, but Laird is passed fit
Out: Hinge
In: Nankervis
OR
Out: Hinge, Butts
In: Nankervis, Parnell
Scenario 4: Both Laird and Hinge ruled out
Out: Laird, Hinge
In: Schoenberg, Nankervis
OR
Out: Laird, Hinge, Butts
In: Schoenberg, Nankervis, Parnell
In all 4 scenarios, McHenry goes back to the SANFL and makes way for a different sub. Most likely candidates are Hately, Cook, Schoenberg or even Milera. I don’t think we’ll give Nankervis the vest for his AFL debut.
I wouldn’t be completely stunned to see Himmelberg come in for Thilthorpe, but I hope we give Riley at least one more game, despite his back to back complete clunkers against Carlton and Hawthorn.

RT seems to get a bit lost up forward with Tex and Fog there as well. I'd like to see him play further up the ground. He's taken some clutch marks on the wing in the last few weeks when he hasn't had an impact up forward.Ridiculous calls for RT to possibly be dropped, he learns absolutely nothing from going back to the SANFL.

He'll be fine long term I'm sure, just the classic case of a big ruck type guy taking longer for it to click.RT seems to get a bit lost up forward with Tex and Fog there as well.

Are we worse if Nankervis replaces Milera? I don’t think so as I don’t see what Milera provides.
Nankervis isn't coming in on yesterday's showing...With McStay out could Nicks finally pull off his 1 kpd?
Out: Milera, Butts
In: Parnell, Nankervis
