I don't get the big fuss over Robbie. He's not setting the world on fire as he normally does but he's still playing a role for us. Averaging 20 possessions and a goal a game. And he takes all of the attention of opposition defences which allows guys like Rozee and his brother Sam to run around relatively unchecked. There's no way known he's being 'rested' anytime soon.

When the ball goes to ground and his opponent wins it, Robbie struggles to put any pressure on. You can see it in his face that he's struggling to run.

Exactly this.
No one is dropping Robbie on form reasons or because he is the worst played etc
There's just no way he isn't carrying something.
The way he's moving, lack of run, can't bend and grimacing face all the time says he's injuried.
Rest him before he does something serious

He just can’t jag. 25m snap anymore either. Something is up.
 
I’d bring in Billy. Hoff to wing. Drew out.
Jonas if fit for Lienert

I’d consider resting Butters and Duursma, over the next 2 weeks, one each week and play Amon
 
A fit Robbie in the second half of the year missing a few games, is better than him being all limpy like.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is carrying a groin injury or something of the like - like Josh Kelly last year
 
Looks like Jonas will not be back. Lienert will be better for the run. If he did not get suspended ( he has the dopiest timing) I think Frampton would have been brought in, but to bring him in against Collingwood would be a test. Who goes out would be the issue. The only possible change is to bring in more leg speed in Amon.

We shouldn’t take any team lightly but the run of games leading into Shanghai is probably a good chance to rest him and get him fresh for the second half of the year. After Collingwood we have the Crows, Suns, Hawks, Saints (China), Bye. It’s as good an opportunity as any to get him sorted and just in time for a couple of tougher ones in Freo (Optus) and Geelong Bloody Geelong.

All Billy has to do is bring the ball to ground, unless we are going the ‘dirty’ ball option.
 
Hope we lift for the occasion like WCE but got an interesting feeling that maybe there could have been a "win it for Lycett" component.

Frampton should get a game along side Marshall.

Amon looks to be about ready for a return.

Trengove consistently racking them up but I reckon his cards are marked as far as when and in what circumstance he will be selected.

I don't really want to drop anyone!

All I can come up with is:
Bonner> Amon
Drew> Frampton

Jonas to miss another week.
