The reason why Murphy Reid got a game was because Shai was missing. Dudley then got a game when Switta went out. With Shai and Switta both back, the choice is between Dudley and Reid to go out. It's a shame for Dudley given he's played so well, but the melts would be off the chain if Reid got dropped
Drop Banfield, play Switta higher up the ground, job done.
 
I have a strange feeling they are going to play Reidy and Darcy.
No chance. One or the other. Voss played his best game as relief ruck and Treacy can do a bit in the forward half. I have zero confidence in Reidy but if Darcy isn’t ready then we will roll with Reidy. Backing up with shortened break may be an issue so would make more sense that Darcy play against Richmond and Adelaide. Having the game off between for longer recovery. He will have had 8 days break since playing for Peel.

Switta would come in for Dudley. Massive over actions on commentary regarding potential replacement of Dudley with Switta.

Love what Dudley has done in two games but the team is improved with Switta present.

Young definitely in.

We are a two goal worse side with Switta in the forward line than Duds.

McDonald is interesting. Possibly a sore defender, but considering he got no pre season games, it's kind of come from the clouds.

Highly doubt he plays, but good to know the club haven't forgotten about him
Given I reckon our emergencies will be Reidy, McDonald and Aish, I reckon it was a “avoid the young guys missing WAFL” type selection
 
Think Johnson goes in as the sub surprisingly enough.

If the team is as listed, with Reidy, Aish and McDonald as the emergencies we're starting to see the resemblance of a team I'm proud of! Who knows what we'll do when all the calvary are back
 
Can't see Duds surviving that bench cut tbh, unless its for Banners (unlikely)
JL said last season in a presser (when talking about Walters being sub) that you want the sub to be someone who can impact the game, preferably in the fwd half. Now this season's selections don't fit that bill at all (literally every game it's a defender), but you can argue availability is the reason for that. Still probably could've selected a mid as sub but still.

This week it's the opposite: Dudley or Banfield are 2 on the extended bench who fit that bill, and Worner, Johnno, Sharp starting you'd think is practically a given (selection has sometimes been weird though).
