For the love of God Hardwick please let him rest this week. Even without him we should be good enough for the 4 points.

Players can rest the following week. Only reason he shouldn't play is if he's a liability or it'll cause further damage.

Sorry but we cannot continue player key players like Jack with a significant injury
Look at what happened towards the end of last year needing 5 surgeries and not making enough impact on the game anyway.
The guy needs his full mobility, we need to think long term and let him recover

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

We need to rest him, perfect opportunity to sort out our forwardline IMO they couldnt take a mark in their forward 50 to save themselves on the weekend.

 

[Tigerbob]

If he is injured then he should not play. Give him the time off he needs.

In comes a defender, send Griffiths forward, play Martin closer to goal and with King back we should still have too much for GWS if we are mentally switched on.

Then we have the bye. Hopefully that is enough for Jack, if not, still leave him out to recover.

We will have Grimes return soon so Griffiths forward is not the end of the world, in fact could be the making of him. People seriously do not understand how good a forward this kid is.

 

[Bojangles17]

Dare i say it but Miller is the obvious choice whilst jack rests up. We cannot play into GWS hands and put a debutant up forward.

 

[rammbo]

Vickory ff Mcquane chf would b my preference .

Yeah possibly, if dry i reckon theyd go with miller

 

[IDGAF]

Theyd go with Vickery as pivot IMHO

Miller is finished , personally id like to see Griffiths have a crack up front , as long as its not deviating to far from what Dimma wants to do with the boy long term .

If Riewoldt is 90% id still play him

Agree.

Why wasn't he subbed either? Could barely move.

 

[Dragonss]

If Vickery has his contested mark gloves on make him the main man. If Vickery leads he'll be good to go.
Griffiths or Mcguane to replace Vickery's former spot at HF.
O'Hanlon third tall.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Must be rested. He's not a player that can play well with an injury and may as well give him two weeks to recover here.

Good chance to experiment and get a few other blokes a bigger role in the forward line; Vickery, O'Hanlon, Martin.

 

[DrMike]

Probably with putting Vickery at FF is he needs to go down back to rest Maric in the ruck. So we'd need to bring someone else in that can do that role, McGuane?

Bring graham in and change Maric and graham in a pocket ?

 

[captain blood 17]

I reckon this could be the go. Personally i think Brad will come back in, or, Post comes back in. Sit Post at CHF, Vickery at FF, Vickery can alternate with Evan.

 

[goodie]

anybody think that dea might be an option up forward against GWS? i love his presence, willingness to hit the contest and also takes a good grab??

 

[Bojangles17]

I could see Maric spending some time forward to terrorise a youthful defence...meaning Gus could be a chance to give Ivan a spell in the font half
