IN : Tippett , Nankervis , Goodes ?
OUT : Dericx , LRT , Lloyd stiff
Would love to see Biggs or Jones as they both were best on toady with 30 plus each but they wont drop Shaw and Rohan after doing well of the HBF didn't play after half time so must be leg issues again.
Think Mitchell will plays 2s after having the week off with ankle soreness

Can Jack play through the pain? worried about him another poster mentioned he was clearly hurting and holding his ribs when singing the song.

If he is injured we should give him 2 weeks off to recover. That may be disrespectful to the opposition but if we can't win without Jack against Melbourne and Brisbane then we don't deserve to win.

I'd like to see Tippett play next week and Goodes play as the sub.
 
Will be interesting to see if Jack is rested whether the coaches bring back in ROK or give Jones, Towers or Marsh a go. If Mitchells ankle is ok you'd think he'd come straight back in.
 
Out: Derickx, LRT, Jack
In: Tippett, Nankervis/Membrey, Towers/Marsh

If there was ever a week we wanted to get game time into some younger players this would be it. I like the sound of resting Jack, moving Smith or McGlynn into the midfield, and playing Towers or Marsh.

I think we leave Mitchell out, give his ankle a good rest.

Then play close to a best 22 lineup against Brisbane as a warm-up for the Hawthorn game. (Not sure on bringing Goodes back yet though, would be good to have that ace up our sleeve for when we play them later in the year.)
 
Sorry to intrude but I watch a lot of sydney games and just wanted my 2 cents . I don't think it's any coincidence you guys played a lot better without Mitchell and ROK in the team. If you play them both there just seems to be too many guys the same - jack, hannebery, Mitchell, ROK , Parker, Kennedy all play similar midfield roles. Resting too many of these in the forward line isn't great as they aren't natural forwards either. It the forces hannebery to play almost a pure outside role which doesn't suit him. He played much better today when given a more inside role.
 
Id bring tippett in but dont know about ruckwork. Derricxz is awful, but can lrt ruck?

If goodes and tippett return lrt is gone too, once reid is back tippett will ruck anyway i guess

Mitchell is best 22 easily, maybe rest k jack

Give lloyd a full game and goodes the vest

The man speaks sense.
 
Cant see Tippett rucking in his first game back after a limited pre season and playing only 2 quarters of footy in 8 months and I don't want LRT to 2nd as he struggled last night and couldn't go with Johnson so he would struggle getting around the MCG all game rucking.
BJ might not of had a lot of it by he is quick around the packs and will be even better with Tippett back around his feet and puts on defensive pressure and with McGlynn now playing in the midfield we need a genuine small forward were ROK , Mitchell are small forwards.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did drop Derickx and go with LRT as the second ruck given the next two opponents are using part timers as their own second rucks. Geelong after that is a different matter but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it
