Burgoyne unlikely. Wouldn’t be dropping Jeka for the exact reason you mention. Would be a real kick in the guts. Let him have more time in the 1s with hopefully some better delivery out on the G.IN: O'Meara, Wingard, Burgoyne, Hartley (we need more talls down back against Kennedy, Darling and Allan)
OUT: Morrison (sub), Jeka (not his fault), Hanrahan, Shiels (managed)
Not easy. I'd rather persist with Jeka but this is all match up related. We need more height down back and we can't add more with the super tall forward line we played with today.
Harry hasn't done much wrong but shouldn't be too harmed by playing as the 23rd man. Ditto Hanrahan, but Wingard is more required.
Fingers crossed for Chad and Jaegar. Clarko said in the presser that Burgoyne is unlikely. We have one tall forward too many so I'd guess Lewis (less likely) or Jeka (more likely) will come out based on today's performances.
Hartley, Greaves, Downie, Howe, Nash, Brockman and Reeves named for Box Hill tomorrow and I hope Brocky can get a good run. Any of them could make a case with a standout performance given how many areas we were beaten in (although it would be cruel to debut Reeves against NicNat).
Early thoughts:
In: O'Meara, Wingard, Brockman
Out: Jeka, Moore, Maginness
FB: Hardwick - Hartigan - Frost
HB: Scrimshaw - Jiath - Impey
C: Phillips - Mitchell - Shiels
HF: Worpel - Koschitzke - Gunston
FF: Brockman - Lewis - Breust
R: McEvoy - O'Meara - Wingard
IC: O'Brien - Cousins - Morrison - Hanrahan
Could bring Hartley in for the O'Brien role (too focused on finding the body, not the ball, as most players new to defense are), or bring Howe into a wing for Harry (if he isn't finding the ball, then his size can become a liability) if either of them play well tomorrow but that's mostly shuffling deck chairs.

Added a little extra info in the post. I felt Hanrahan has been more likely to make a positive contribution when he gets the ball in recent matches, but has been a bigger defensive liability. Moore pressures more often but his pressure isn't often effective. I feel both are down on form and don't see much difference in who would come out.Why are you dropping Moore before Hanrahan after today out of curiosity?
1. we need to improve our midfield, are JOM and Wingard available? because im not sure Cousins or Maginness are the answer
2. Hartigan moves like Fat Albert
3. Phillips needs to play more like he did in preseason, get dirty
4. TOB and Hanrahan - i would like them dropped, but they seem to be immune from responsibility
5. Lewis or Jeka, theres only room for 1
6. i cant wait for Brockman, Day, DGB and Sicily to come back in
7. at least Ceglar, Howe and Nash arent playing, be thankful for small blessings
IN: JOM, Wingard, Hartley, Greaves, Downie, Bramble
OUT: TOB, Hanrahan, Jeka, Maginness, Cousins, Hartigan
but thats me.

The pressure issue is a big enough deal, now that I see Hanrahan didn't lay a tackle and was last in pressure acts for us off 80% game time that I'd probably switch them and keep Moore.
Or you leave the talls in an they learn from playing against McGovern & Barass.You need a small forward line v WC. If we go long to our young talls we will lose by 10 goals again.
Out - Lewis & Shiels (managed)
In - JOM & Chad
Both out injured this week.Or you leave the talls in an they learn from playing against McGovern & Barass.
Breust & Shiels managed.
You crazyCall me crazy, but I agree with those who'd like O'Meara and Wingard back...
