I dont think we will have to make many changes.

Out: Sansbury
In: Campbell

Sansbury was very ordinary on the weekend and has proven once again just to be a frontrunner with a lack of defensive accountability.
 
I'd play Thomas before Campbell, and I'd play Green instead of Hansen. Sansbury would be great if we played Carlton every week. But since we don't - he's gone.

A small forward will trouble them.

Line ball between Campbell and Thomas.
I would go Campbell.

His chasing in the VFL over the last two weeks has been amazing.
I think he is getting faster.

Campbell for Eddie.
 
If we're bringing in a crumber, would have to go for Thomas over Cambell just because of body type. I don't think Matty would get near it in a finals game, hes just too small at the moment. Lindsay on the other hand is a little more physically developed, can get involved and is not bad overhead. Not saying we need to make a change though ....
 
I doubt they will drop Ed due to Port's running ability and speed. I do think we will add some pace via either LT or Flash. I have a feeling Scotty McMahon may be the unlucky one to go.

I loved the Sunday Mail here stating that the only change would be Brown in for Hansen. Would be a cruel joke if it was true.

I highly doubt they will bring leigh harding into the side for a PF. At least hansen had the advantage of 2 AFL games and some solid VFL performances. Harding only played half a season.

Harding will be delisted at seasons end.
 
Not sure if I'd like to change a winning team. Weather should be ok but if it's wet then perhaps play Campbell/Thomas ahead of Lachy. Green would add a degree of toughness which may be useful.

The advantage with keeping Lachy in the team is his ability to play at either end of the ground. Played only 48% of the game last week for 7 touches and did some nice things. Hadn't played for 3 weeks so will be better for the run. Was at the game and couldn't question his endeavour & committment.

Can't see them giving Brown another run and IMO I doubt whether we'll see Brown in a Roos jumper again. I think Laidley sent him a pretty strong message bringing Lachy into the team last week.

McMahon played a good game last week, he could not possibly be dropped.

He got 10 touches and did his bit. I think he would be very unlucky but i think if they are looking to add speed he may be the man in the hot seat. Will be interesting to see if we go with what got us home last week or try and mix and match to cover Port's running machine.

My thoughts.

Out: Hansen and Sansbury
In: Campbell and Green

Hansen was too far off the mark last week to be risked again. Let him aim for a big step next season.
Sansbury has been rubbish last two weeks after a promising imporovement.
Campbell adds a goal kicking option and played well last saturday.
Green adds an extra defensive option.

Nope he played on the weekend for North Ballarat, went ok but still not getting a game.

And also, Scotty is super quick and can play forward or has a small defender. i think we would be stupid to drop him considering the options he provides the side.

McMahons real value is that he is so versatile and he has got a freaky side to his game. Not sure i would classify him as super quick though.

Campbell was an absolute passenger the last few games he played in the seniors. He couldn't get near the ball. Eddie can at least get his hands on it.
