I would bring in L Young for English to float forward and play back if needed and chop out in the ruck, I felt the three tall forward set up were getting in each others way. Play Smith more inside mid and put Lipinski on the wing, watched Garcia for the first time this week, boy he is a skilled terrier, need that against the Tigers.
Out English in Young
Out Dunkley in West
Out Jong in Lipinski
Out Scott in Garcia

Other option is that Hunter/Smith play less forward/outside, and we bring in Hannan as opposed to two of Lipinski/West/Garcia/Wallis, which I don't think is the worst idea.

Do we need a direct replacement?
Bont, Macrae, Libba, Treloar, Smith will fight it out for 3 spots in the centre square. West surely comes in and around the ground pushes up near the ocntest, and Hunter ran through the middle during pre-season this year and last.

Hannan will be in when fit, but he seemed to be on restricted minutes on Thursday night so is probably a week or two away.
I wouldn't be opposed to Weightman getting a chance. We were flat as a tack for much of the GWS game and he brings his own energy. It would add a different dimension to our structure forward of the ball.
Sweet should come in
Yeah that's a decent one, a lot smaller than Clay though.
Why are people having Sweet in this side this week. English has played forward mostly this year Sweet at this stage does not have the skill set of a forward player yet.

Reckon Hannan might need one more gallop at VFL level before he is considered for a call up

If you go by AFL/VFL form you’d expect it would be
Out
English, Dunkley and Jong
In
Sweet, Lipinski and West
But the selection committee always likes to throw curveballs to keep everyone on there toes so I think it will be
In
Young, Hayes and Wallis

Schache comes in too maintain forward structure. JUH's tank isn't up too AFL standard yet and don't think Bevo will bring him in.
If MD is right then think Sweet comes in to partner Martin don't feel he can Solo ruck a whole game
Still probably won't Smith to the inside and Monica on the wing

Jong clearly came into the team to combat Haynes aerial threat on the wing. Ironic they both went down injured.
Richmond don’t have that wing aerial threat. I wonder if Louis butler might get that wing gig.

No excuses with this game. Tigers are without Martin, Prestia, Lambert, Vlastuin. That’s 4 of their best 7 or so players.
Out: Jong, English, Dunkley
In: Lipinski, West, Shache.
Hannan in as soon as he’s match fit.

Lips game in the VFL was exactly the way Dunks plays so it would be a perfect like for like IF lip is played in the middle. Big if.

You do realise we're not going to cover English or dunks with exact like for like players? If we had like for like, they'd already be in the team.
Will need to cover then not only with direct replacements but others on the team picking up 5% here and there.
I think we can cover it. Been talking up our depth for weeks.
Out:
Dunks
Yong
English
VDM
Scott
In:
Lips
West
Schache
McNeil
Garcia/Butler/Wallis
Sweet won't replace English.

When you are winning the naysayers are back like 2016. Only winning because of the umps and we are the throwdogs. What a lot of crap. We are winning because we are a high quality mature side.
Hannan looked good in the VFL just think he is short a run. Wouldn't mind seeing Butler getting a run he is progressing nicely

Just running with 2 tall forwards and Bruce taking back up ruck duties Mutt? I wouldn’t mind having a look at that either.
