Couldn't see a thread. If there was one, mods please merge.

In: Duggan (if fit)
Out: Rotham (unlucky, didn't put a foot wrong)

B: Sheppard, Barrass, Hurn
HB: Jetta, McGovern, Duggan
C: Gaff, Shuey, Masten
HF: Cripps, Darling, Petruccelle
F: Ryan, Kennedy, Ollen
R: Hickey, Yeo, Sheed
I: Vardy, Cole, Redden, Hutchings
E: Rotham, Waterman, Smith, Nelson (held over)

If Duggan's fit then Rotham misses out. Though Cole might be in trouble, he's not had the greatest start to the season and the Dockers new tall forward line might work in Rotham's favour.

No other unforced changes.

In; Duggo

Out ;unlucky for Rotham even though solid debut ..

He was lucky that Schofield was ill anyway.

He knows he's not first choice and I have faith he is professional enough to put his head down at the Beagles and keep pushing his case for selection.

Our depth is awesome, we just keep shrugging off injuries and suspensions.

Liked Rothams game, made minimal mistakes and competed well. Impressive debut, but obvious change for Duggan.

Marsden doing the absolute bare minimum to keep his spot. 11 touches is all that's expected of him it would seem. Wasn't horrid but I hope we eventually pull the trigger.

Don't see him making way again this week because it sounds like nobody is a putting their hand up anyway, so moot point.

He will go when Rioli is back. Unless someone is forced out due to injury

agree but I think Schofield will get less chances now in favour of blooding youth by MC ..

Was Masten following Stephenson around?

Who was Greenwood tagging? Didn't see him much.
I was at work for the first quarter and a half so I missed it but my mate said Greenwood started on Sheed and rolled onto Shuey halfway through Q1.

Masten seemed to be opposed to Phillips a fair bit. Neither of them are really the sort that “have an opponent” though.
 
Ive always been one for supporting Masto... but is he really needed?

Duggan in for Masto next week. Why not?
That question will best be answered by the coaches in the coming weeks. He is either performing his role or he's not but I struggled to see much today. However today wasn't our typical high marking high uncontested possession game. I think his position would definitely be questioned, he's right on that borderline.

Interested to know his role, will watch the replay tomorrow perhaps.
 
Duggan in for Masten to play that role.. Would mean Willie would push out one of Cole or Rotham then Duggan can go back. Willie is looking at more midfield minutes and definately Masten as the one that comes out but i reckon do it now for Duggan.
 
Masto made two mistakes that come to mind. Classic masto difficult 30 metre pass through the middle gets chopped off. Runs into tackle instead of giving off left hand handball. Apart from that he was solid and ran 14.6kms, third most on ground, with most distance at high speed 3.5kms. I agree though, hasn't been a super start to the year for him and he will know the pressure is on. Couple of his passes last week v the Giants were beauties though.
