Shaw in is a must IMO...
If deemed fit by the medical team then yes, I'm far from convinced he'll be playing though this week.

My previously stated conspiracy theory has Kurt coming back for the Brisbane game as part of a secret deal with the AFL. They said he's out for the year, we said he was fit to play Geelong, the compromise was for him to take a month off, thus returning for the game against Brisbane.

Out: L Thompson, McKernan
In: Jacobs, Shaw
In: Jacobs, Shaw
Given Shaw is apparently available, I think its quite simple:
Out: L. Thompson, B Symes
In: S Jacobs, S Shaw
Strengthens our forward line, giving us 2 full time key forwards and a part timer who can help Jacobs in the ruck and gives us a genuine 3rd tall defender back. Johncock is likely to sub.

Sando's midweek presser
in: Jacobs, Shaw and Riley/Tambling
OUT: Symes, Mckernan and L. Thompson
OUT: Symes, Mckernan and L. Thompson
While I'm keen to support any team that suggests omitting Symes, why would they drop Symes only to replace him with Riley or Tambling? I thought it was fairly clear by now that they're both behind Symes in the pecking order. Surely Symes would only be replaced by someone higher on the pecking order, not lower?
Vader. In respose to your reply. I am coming from the angle where i think Symes is not ideal as a sub where Riley and Tambling perhaps may have in that position. Agree on those two players are below Symes in the pecking order.
We still have Stiffy available for service as our "super sub". Mind you, I'd rather see Symes wearing the green vest, as it means he's not on the field damaging our chances of winning.
The AFL doesn't make deals, just demands. There, conspiracy theory debunked.

Happy with these changes. Draw a line through Symes, see how the others go, their SANFL form warrants it.
So were Geelong, but that doesn't fit in with your logic so we'll leave that one out...

Good!
Kurt needs a minumum 2 weeks off, as the 1 week off hasn't helped previously. No rush as we need him fully OK for finals.
In: Jacobs, Shaw, Johnston
Out: smack, Thompson, Symes
Johnston in while Tippets out. Gotta give him couple games and can play at both ends if needed. May be required if injuries hit in finals.

Ok here goes. Players I reckon had a break out period towards the end of their second season on an AFL list last year:
Daniel Menzel
John Butcher
Jack Gunston
Sam Reid
Jason Tutt
Mitch Duncan
Ben Stratton
Gary Rohan
Allen Christensen
Dustin Martin
Christian Howard
Okay, slight question mark on the 'players of his type' part...but thats good enough for me. I look forward to calling out the next 'Thommo51'. Suspect you and I might be the only ones who know what it means though.
Whatever will make you feel most comfortable and happy. Nothing else matters in reality. Does it?
Quite possible. Knights & Symes have both had 2-3 game "auditions" to save their list positions, prior to being delisted at the end of the year. It's not implausible that Tambling should be afforded the same luxury. Johncock's omission shouldn't come as a surprise to many, given the way that Sando's been talking about him lately and the way he's been shuffled forward/back/in/out of the team all year.

With the demise of Hendo, Stiffy is a prime candidate for the sub in the finals.
The problem is that he needs to keep playing to ensure his fitness improves. Since Port Magpies(along with 4 other teams) have a bye this week I can't see Stffy missing out on Sunday.
Now we know that Kurt is not playing, my late entry is
In - Jacobs, Shaw and Tambling
Out - McKernan, Thompson (if Shaw is available), Symes
I wouldn't mind Riley or Lyons instead of Tambling but I doubt that this will happen. I have no idea what it will take to get Lynchy a game, possibly shaving his head?
