With Waite under report (now cleared!) and Fisher injured, who is to come into the side to replace these two?

Deluca is out of form and if anyone's to be dropped from the side, it's him.

So that's three taller players, who play up forward mostly.

Candidates would be Setanta - does he have an injury though?

Jason Saddington - more of a defensive player, can he play forward or do we put him in the back line and play Lance forward? After Lance's game last night, he's in superb touch in the backline.

Josh Kennedy - is he ready?

Bannister?

Longmuir for Fisher maybe - against his old side?

Who else - and who do we pick?

Fisher (inj) - Saddington. Insurance in case Pavlich goes nuts.

DeLuca (dropped) - O'hailpin, kicked a few for Bullants this weekend. Hartlett has been injured, so probably won't be considered. Kennedy could be a darkhorse to debut at "home", but he's probably still a little underdone.

Waite (if susp) - I'd go with a midfielder/runner at Subiaco, preferrably Russell or Blackwell.

Even if Waite plays, I still like the idea of playing an extra runner at Subiaco.

Had a bit of a think about this one and realised that we probably have a few more options than I though. I reckon we could go with one of the following:

Setanta - Provided he's fit.
Longmuir - Not an ideal replacement, but still handy nonetheless
Saddington - See Setanta
Russell - His pace would be more than handy at Subi
Blackwell - Has shown that he is ready for AFL
Teague - Move Lance to the forwardline

Like all of your selections except Teague. Feel he is just an extras player for us now. Is not too much quicker than Lance and has about 20% of the ability. Would be a negative for the defence. Wonder if Setanta could hold down CHB for some games.
