Good changes. Really liked what I’ve seen from Hynes & Dolan but they’re not ready to impact consistently just yet.

You’d imagine one of Mcniel, Garcia or Poulter to be sub.
 
Can't be too upset with those changes, back line is as good as it's going to be really so hopefully can get the job done. Jones should have a decent match up on the resting ruck in Fort or McInerney so shouldn't have an issue with closing pace in his first game back.

I'm guessing McNeil sub, Poulter gets one last shot in the starting 22 to have a big impact or Harmes takes his spot next week (if healthy).
 
This is our best side that we can currently put out there. Only Harmes, Treloar & Arty are the others when healthy that could push out a few on the bench.

I also expect Sellwood to debut soon.

I was in Brissy today….back on the Sunny Coast tonight.

Will be down for the game tomorrow….going to the Norman Hotel for a pre match feed and beers with clients. If you are aro7nd I’m sure there will be beers after too. Most like
Lay at the Aussie National on Vulture St
Mate, won’t make a campaigner of myself in front of your clients, but cannot guarantee that. See you tomorrow.

Mostly sensible which is good.

Jones had to come in. Coffield had to come out.

Going back to Cleary feels like it's all a bit of a merry-go-round but it is what it is. Not many options. He's not the only player we have that looks ok when our mids are beating up on bad teams but otherwise been suspect under pressure.

Taking Poulter and McNeil to a game in Brisbane with Harmes available feels a bit off. He's no star but easily better than both.

Dolan just not ready. AJ was looking like he might be that inbetween option that could finally get McNeil out of the side, just unlucky with that injury.

Harmes still recovering from illness

You'd have to think Mcneil starts in the 22 given he has missed 2 weeks of footy (unused sub then no VFL). Similarly I'd expect Poulter starts after only a quarter last week.

My guess would be Cleary or Garcia the sub with Williams on the wing and Freijah spending more time in the middle.
 
McNeil has more lives than a cat. Can't see what will be different from him. Cleary is a solid VFL player. Jones will be at least 50% fit.
What the heck, just go along for the ride.

Cupboard is bare unfortunately in that small pressure fwd role. Artie can hopefully get himself fit over the next few weeks for a chance back in the team, but no other options currently. May get sent to a Zorko or Wilmot to keep them accountable.
 
I know he’s only played one VFL game but I would’ve preferred trying Sellwood over Cleary.

Cleary is poor offensively and defensively. He has neat skills but under any sort of pressure he crumbles and isn’t good in the defensive contest work. He can read the ball well in the air at times and that’s about it.

Come to think of it, that’s exactly how I’d describe Coffield as well.
