If Howe misses then as suggested above WHE replaces him in defence.

Like some others I have debated whether Johnson even makes the 23 this week but if Howe misses he comes into the 22 to maintain our level of marking presence across the ground.

Macrae takes his place as the 23rd man.
Johnson drops more than he marks though.

Too small down forward when you factor in the amount of time one ov Cox/cameron and Miho will spend off the ground. AJ inthe 22, Finn sub

Dean & Frampton replacing Howe & Murphy is worrying against an opposition the quality of GWS. It was always going to be a very tough game but we could be in genuine strife now with those backline changes.

I’m not proposing we DROP Howe and Murphy…..

Yes GWS are a good side. Frampton is perfectly adequate depth and Dean needs to debut sooner or later. If Howe doesn’t get up then maybe sooner is the call.
 
The preseason games are mostly about blowing out the cobwebs.
Shooter will be a big plus for us and Lippa has had an uninterrupted preseason, so he's almost like a new player.
A tough game first up, but the boys are still hungry.
Let's get off to a flyer!
 
Can’t see Howe missing the first game with just a corkie after the bravery he displayed last season.
 
Does Frampton get a job on Taylor similar to his GF role?

Looks like GWS are expected to play Cadman instead of Keefe - that would mean that someone like Riccardi is going to play ruck for a % of the game. It's going to be pretty warm on Saturday, so I'm not expecting Briggs to play much more than 70% game time. Assuming that GWS goes with running players on the bench, then I'd play Bruz as the third tall (on Cadman whilst Riccardi is playing forward).

Outs: Ginni, Murph, Howe
Ins: Schultz, Johnson, Macrae (Sub) - (Frampton plays back, Lippa starts)
