I'd rest Logan Morris and bring in Sharp and Starcevich for Charlie. Bailey plays Charlies role, I also think we need more run against the Swans hence my liking for the Harry Sharp inclusion, on top of that McKenna to the bench and Reville to the starting 22.Geez everything is against us this year! Huge effort if we make finals from here! Who are we expecting to come in for Charlie? Or do we just shuffle a few players around and a straight swap for Starce?
I think the AFL may take more notice if the crowds didn’t turn up.Suppose we got a few days to tee up with the Swannies the look we’ll give each other when we are ready to just “sit down” after being tackled this weekend, so at least there’s that.
Hard to beat when the decision is already made (except for that Carlton guy who gets everyone off).Out: our legal team
In: new legal team
If we give them the space in transition we have given other sides the past couple of weeks we will get pantsed.This game has taken a bit of a back seat because of the Charlie Cameron situation, however I am really excited for this game, our biggest test of the season to date.
IMO we match up pretty well against the Swans, our all over ground defence will have to be on though as the Swans are a long gut running side with the likes of Gulden, Warner and Blakey, they will cut us to ribbons if our intensity is down.
Starcevich > Papley.
Joyce > Amartey.
Andrews > McDonald.
Berry > Gulden or Warner, if needed.
Our forwards need to be alert to Blakey running off.
Bailey to Charlie's forward role. Starc in as a lock down on Blakey.Bruce to Bailey's role. Brain to stay in as a Papley match up in place of Mckenna who goes to Sub. I think Brain has the sort of Footy IQ required to negate Papley who is a smart Footballer.

None of the midseason edicts have yet made it to WA it seems. Holding the ball the same.Three weeks ago they would've blown the whistle a few steps in and Charlie wouldn't have had to take him to the ground to finish the tackle.
No, that's a trip. We got one of those against Melbourne or Adelaide. Joe I think was the beneficiary.They already do, without directly tackling at the knees. if a player tackles at the hips and it slides down the legs and below the knees it's play on, rather than a trip.
Answerth can play that role. Has done in the past. Not a silly idea at all.At risk of exposing why I'm not an afl coach here. But I wonder if one of our defenders could get a run in Charlies roll. Or perhaps maybe even play negative on Blakey. Not sure what our small forwards stocks are but I wonder how Starc or Answerth would go in such a gig.
Edit...... I'm gonna leave this here at my own expense. The more I read it the less enticing it's sounding.
Definitely controversialmaybe controversial but i think answerth can do everything dev does but better, id definitely bring him in before robertson in most cases. might be line ball considering hes coming off a decent injury lay off.
I think you are being kind to Mckenna 3KZ when you are saying his kicking has been iffyObviously we appeal. If that doesn’t work then I would go with:
In: Starcevich , Robertson
Out: McKenna , Cameron
I just can’t cop McKenna’s poor defensive efforts any more. Won’t man up, looking to run off his man non-stop, kicking is iffy, decision making a worry and leaves teammates exposed as they have to deal with their direct opponents and his.
I thought Charlie applied some force and then puts his head into Duggan (i am sure no malice intended), however just prior to falling Duggan attempts to break the tackle and I would say contributes to the outcome. If Reid got 2 weeks then maybe Charlie deserved one, but not three.Yep certainly seems like it.
I will say I always doubted that Charlie could get off - he does apply SOME force to the tackle, even if Duggan trying to break the tackle is the main cause.
