Assuming no injuries.

In: Baker, Edwards
Out: Cole, Flynn

Reid and CDT in the ruck. New ruck rules have impacted Xerri most of all, our forward pressure is too slow to carry four key forwards, roll the dice on the younger and athletic guys to jump at it all day.

Kelly next in line if any mystery injuries pop up.

CDT and archer rotating through the fwd line feels like one too many talls.
but i totally get it, we should be pumping games into both, they both have lots of talent (obviosuly especially CDT).

I think whatever we do it's imperative we give lindsay, CDT, duursma, Bo all a long leash. all of them flashed thier talent tonight and will be weapons in the future.

I really liked what I saw from Bo at times, even a couple of times he got called HTB, a little more core strength and those would have been game breaking runs. He has a great combination of power and speed and some of his kicks tonight were pretty good.
 
In: Baker, Edwards

Out: Cole, Davis

Edwards to FB, Maric to wing, Davis to emergencies

Baker straight swap for Cole.

Cole (held over), Davis, Macrae the emergencies. Kelly to play East Freo if he needs match fitness.

Would love to drop Flynn but realistically we should have been grooming Reid as our leading ruck over the offseason, as we didn’t do that we’re stuck with Flynn for now.

Will stick with the tall forward line for now, think it’ll be ok against North in fine weather but not against every opponent at every ground.

I doubt Flynn gets dropped after one game. Hewett and Starcevich unlikely

In- Baker, Edwards, Champion
Out- Cole, A Reid, Davis

B- Ginbey - Edwards - Hough
HB- Baker - Young - Lindsay
C- Duursma - Yeo - Allan
HF- Graham - Shanahan - Murdock
F- Cripps - Waterman - Newton
R- Flynn - McCarthy - Harley
Be- Dev, CDT - Maric - Duggan - Champion

I would love to get Duursma off the wing.

shoenberg wasnt good enough in the games i saw to demand a walk up start. he can earn in the magoos.
young was fine today, the speed of ball movement would have killed any defence.
yeah I know . Wouldn't mind seeing him get a game tbh
 
Assuming no injuries, setbacks or BS suspensions:

OUT: Cole, Cripps, A. Reid
IN: Baker, Champion, Edwards
