In: Edwards, Yeo, Culley, Hough, Petch
Out: Gov, Witherden, Shuey, Cripps, Ryan

Assuming that’s the extent of it, which would be a blessing at this point.
Not sure we should be bringing Yeo in even if fit. I think we need to learn our lesson and take it really slow with injury prone older players.

High probability he aggravates the calf over the next 3 weeks. I'd be inclined to bring him back a couple of weeks after being passed fit.

Then perhaps you need to revisit your opinion and see whether it has validity
I’ll rewatch the game at some point (or at least his individual highlights if they get posted) and come back to you Mr Scout man.

Conversely I thought Williams was competitive and did all he was asked to do considering - someone care to tell me I’m wrong there ?
 
Out Shuey Gov Witho Cripps Ryan Sheed
In Culley H Edwards Hough Petch Clark and Hewett into the 22.

Mixed feelings on outting Yeo straight back in if fit. Replaces Clark if he is i
 
Going in order of time of injury…
Hewett into the 22 for Shuey
Edwards for McGovern
Rotham for Witherden
Clark for Cripps
Petch for Ryan
Hough for Chesser (to sub)

Backs: Barrass, Edwards, Rotham, Hurn, Duggan, Cole, Jones
Mids: Kelly, Sheed, Ginbey, Hewett/Clark, Gaff, Hunt
Rucks: Williams, Waterman
Forwards: Darling, Allen, Petch, Long, SPS, Clark/Hewett, Hough
Sub: Chesser
Emergencies: O’Neill (held over), West, Culley

Rotham is hopefully right to go, he’ll add a bit of height in the backline and can pinch hit in the ruck if necessary.

Cripps will be hard to replace, get Clark and Hough to do a bit of his role.

Give Chesser a run as the sub, think he was better today but he probably ended up playing more minutes than they would’ve liked.

Give Yeo a run in the WAFL and give Culley another game to get match fit.
 
Who plays the Shuey role off half back now? Seems to be an important part of our structure at centre bounces, if I'm not mistaken Hunt seemed to get the job a few times in the second half but it's hard to tell watching on TV.

Out: Cripps, Ryan, Shuey, McGovern, Witho
In: Petch, Culley, Clark, Edwards, Hough

Looking at who is out and who replaces them:

Cripps -> Petrol
Ryan -> Hewett (I think he's the only small forward left)
Shuey - Culley
Chesser -> Clark (If you want like to like on the wing)
Gov -> Edwards
Witho-> Hough

After that effort, the fit players all go again next week. 6 forced changes through injury is more than enough.

Hough would be a good candidate to play this role too I reckon.

food for thought

Sheed really doesn’t offer a lot through the middle, he’s one paced and doesn’t offer much run

But I still rate his usage ability (most of the time)

I propose it we’re gonna play him, send him to HF and play someone else in the middle.

Careful mate, that sounds dangerously close to an opinion

Don't think you have a lot of people arguing against that proposal.
Been hoping we would do that for years since he's become undroppable.
