That’s the sensible move. But is it the Bev move? I’d prefer not to see something whacky with our season on the line but I wouldn’t be at all surprised.
Selection has not been too bad this season so can only hope.

We have to win, no time for gimmicks. The only player physically ready for the ruck is Lobb with Darcy as support.

Our weaknesses down back have been Khamis and Coffield.

Both JOD and Buss can play their roles better now, nothing about development and Freijah should have come back for one of them a couple of weeks ago

A few areas were exposed and with Tim out we have some forced changes.

Lobb to ruck

Busslinger for Lobb. Will be great to give him a go.

JOD for Khamis - Khamis has shown a bit but needs more strength and aggression to play defence is not a 1:1. Coffield should be better and smarter but wonder why Bevo didn’t swap them. JOD is mobile and a beautiful kick and much better (but not great 1:1) but also decent mark. Friejah is a star and is smart with great footy awareness but can’t fit him in? Would be OK if he played also.

Assuming Naughty still plays? If not for smaller and being in either Clarke or Baker.

VDM is struggling too. He does a handful of good things but is this good enough to keep out some very good players. I think like Coffield and Khamis - we can only have one of VDM and McNeil - would swap him with Garcia and bring Macrae or Sanders. Caleb was good when he came on but would rather give Sanders a run. When Macrae came on a few weeks ago he got 10 possessions in a quarter - that is fantastic. So could flip them but any one watching the VFL game can see how good Macrae is.

Is Lachie Smith not a viable option yet?
If it doesnt go well we have Lobb and Darcy who can take over.
Reluctant to move Lobb at this stage.
 
Lobb and Darcy to ruck, maybe even Naughts taking a few centre bounces. Bring in JOD.
If they subbed Naughty due to knee soreness it would be some risk to have him take any centre bounces.

No idea what to expect this game, the way they lost the Crows game almost wiped out any goodwill from the previous month.
 
If English is going to miss, why is no one talking about Jordon Sweet...?! 🤔
