Sinn stays in. Finding his feet there were a couple of things he did that were good let him settle there is a massive up side.
Bonner is not someone who should be sub.
Narkle is absolutely a genuine Mid who will find the ball will provide defensive pressure is the obvious sub and that we are playing Geelong wouldn't hurt either.

Rioli was excellent,last night. May not have hit the scoreboard but his work in an under and physicality was top end stuff.

I think we get more out of Riley Bonner than we get from Junior Rioli and that Rioli should be under the pump. When we went after Junior I assumed were were getting a goal kicking small forward not Steven Motlop MkII. If Narkle produces another game like last week I would seriously think about replacing Rioli with Narkle. I realise that Narkle is a midfielder rather than a small forward but we are not getting goals from Rioli so we are not losing much.
Of course we have to see how Quinton goes this week.
100% agree re Bonner. Not sub material. Not sure that we've selected and utilised the sub as well as we could have.
What attributes should a sub typically have? I'd say, contested ball winner, line breaking, high possession player. Basically Butters
Rioli was super competitive last night.
Narkle would be a better replacement for a midfielder. Start him on a wing.
He competed, but a 40% DE needs to improve - it was pretty hot when the ball hit the ground though.
If he was slightly cleaner Port‘s forward line would be boarder line perfect.

Geelong suck. They've had the easiest draw of all time so far this year and they're 6-6. They've lost to five teams in the bottom half of the ladder (we've lost to none). They haven't beaten a single team in the top 5 all year (we've beaten 3). If our form is real and not a mirage, they're not going to start now.

I'm more confident of beating Geelong at home than I was of the Dogs at Marvel.
On current form, we should win this by 4-5 goals.

I'm usually all for giving kids an extended run at it, but at this stage our team would look better with Burton in it than Sinn. Sinn can get a full game with the Magpies. Bonner can go back, too.
If Narkle plays well today I love the idea of him as sub versus his old team. Should have a bit to prove and seems good sub material.

We've got a very, very obvious best 23 at this stage and it involves Sinn going out for Burton and eventually Bonner losing his spot to Duursma.
I reckon Farrell isn't a lock, especially with the form of Jones, Bergman and Williams down back. He's got a great leg but I have question marks over him defensively.
The other one is dbj. Will need to keep producing to stay in the team. I've liked him as a forward but other teams probably have small forwards that hit the scoreboard a bit more.
Agree with everyone else though.
It's a good top 25 or so though. Exciting times!

Hopefully no one is injured today, if so we should be able to tell at 3 qtr time when someone is rested, who may well be in line for senior selection.
From the reserves, Burton and Narkle are the obvious contenders for a spot. Jonas' form will need to be watched. Plus maybe you could say the form of Evans will be one to continue to watch too. Fantasia should be a long way away from contention, but would be nice to see him find form.
Mead, Burgoyne, Pasini have all slipped in the pecking order.

What small forward on the list is replacing DBJ? Rioli and McEntee are already playing and let's not get started on Fantasia.
