The logical change is Nank into the team and a bit of a rejig. More mid/fwd time for Soli, Izak and Daws like they’ve done in the first couple of rounds with Nank rotating wing with Cumming and Sholl. That way we retain quality up forward in the absence of Rash but also don’t lose a heap of talent as Nank is up to AFL standard. Sid stays as sub.

I wouldn’t. Bloke is 35 with 17 preseasons under his belt. I wouldn’t be resting him in the first half of the season. And we have a 9 day break after the Cats game.
Yeah, that isn't going to work playing him for full half of a season without a break.

That would be crazy management of Tex.
 
If you insist on resting him why wouldn’t it be the Freo match. Atleast by then the season is a couple of months in. The season is only 15 days old at this point.
Short turnaround is the key here combined with travel.

Round 1 Tex was puffing as times & we subbed him.

Age does impact.

Just looked forward, home against Eagles in round 11.
Should be looking to be smart about managing Tex for around 4 games, particularly when we have shorter breaks.

Against weaker opponents like West Coast would be preferable where possible.
 
Who tags Rowell, 13 clearances against the Dees midfield..
Ben Keays can still do a job if we are prepared to play him through the middle for most the game. He's actually good at defensive roles because he forces his opponent to be accountable in the other direction. Plus he's a QLD specialist

Peatling if he gets on fire.

ANB as a backup.

Or use both & double team him with breaks up forward.
 
Interesting re Tex.

Already got two of the best 22 out. Big test for us on the road. Club would be keen to keep the momentum up, beat a good side away.

Logic says if you’re gonna rest Tex you do it here. Not sure they will.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here.. two important players out, do we risk another?
 
It would depend on tom Stewart... if he's out throw everything we've got to break the hoodoo
You try telling Tom Stewart he is missing a game against Adelaide
