Have to play

Frost mainly on Dixon
Serong mainly on Marshall
Weddle mainly on Finlayson

All will rotate / handover, with Frost to play deepest most often.

Problem will be when Georgiadis comes on and if they play 4 talls together - then there’ll be a mismatch on a medium defender.

May need Hardwick to play on someone 10cm taller as I can’t see us sacrificing Day to play HBF. He is the midfield captain and we’d be nuts to change that.

Interesting week at the selection table.

If CJ plays, he'll add some depth back there.

CJ is a wingman now. Bodie Ryan or Phillips if we need a defender. I don't want to just take the easy solution of putting him back to HBF. Would anybody want us putting Day to HBF and bringing in Ward to cover the midfield loss?

No. Our midfield looks infinitely better with him in there.... We don't need him at half back. That will then limit how much impact our forward line can have. Just bring in a defender..(Philips)... Cj to a wing.

He’s barely played in what 18 months? He’ll play anywhere he gets picked.
 
I am finding it extremely difficult to pick a side this weekend.

Players who are in contention:
Jiath - Lewis - Chol - Sicily - Philips & Ward

I had a crack at a few teams.

(TEAM 1)

Hardwick - Frost - Sicily

Mitchell - Weddle - Amon

Jiath - Day - D’Ambrosio

Moore - Lewis - MacDonald

Ginnivan - Chol - Dear

Meek - Newcombe - Worpel

Watson - Mackenzie - Nash - Impey - Breust

Ins:
Lewis - Chol - Sicily - Jiath

Outs:
Gunston - Maginness - Scrimshaw - Serong

(TEAM 2)


Hardwick - Phillips - Frost

Mitchell - Weddle - Amon

Mackenzie - Day - D’Ambrosio

Moore - Chol - MacDonald

Ginnivan - Dear - Watson

Meek - Newcombe - Worpel

Maginness - Nash - Impey - Serong - Breust

Ins:
Chol - Phillips

Outs:
Gunston - Scrimshaw

Hardwick - Phillips - Frost

Mitchell - Weddle - Amon

Jiath - Day - D’Ambrosio

Moore - Chol - MacDonald

Mackenzie - Nash - Impey - Serong - Breust

Ins:
Jiath - Chol - Phillips

Outs:
Maginness - Gunston - Scrimshaw


Discussion of this side is as follows.

Is Mitch Lewis ready? = He 100% plays.
Does Jiath play as sub or play majority game and get subbed off? = 50/50
Is Sicily ready to come back? = If so 100% plays.
If Sicily and Scrimshaw are out, does Phillips debut? = 100% yes.
Is Chol ready and does he come straight in? = Yes and if with Lewis even better.

Who comes out? Serong played well and deserves to stay in, not many other options to come out defensively and it is a structure decision, stays ideally. Maginness quiet and role is flexible, could he go out if Jiath returns, who else does if he doesn’t? Gunston out but is it a drop or management, and finally Scrimshaw is suspended so it’s either Sicily or Phillips, do we see a Ryan debut? Change of structure to see Jiath in? Interesting week ahead.
