Valenti deserves a run. Not sure Buckley's deserves one yet. Bode's the obvious out.

Bartram's form has improved - I thought he was pretty good vs Richmond. Was hard to tell last week, considering I only watched the Fox coverage.

Not sure Frawley's skills are good enough if his primary role is as a rebounding defender - seems to take it easy a little too often when under no pressure, and fails to nail kicks (but that could just be skill level, as opposed to a mental thing).

Garland's too small for JB IMO - Warnock (or Martin) to get first crack.

Poor Martin shouldn't have to play on Brown in his first AFL match. If he gets smashed, it will ruin whatever confidence he's gotten playing well at Sandy (remembering he is new to AFL).

it wouldn't shatter his confidence if he got a bath... even the best backman in the league get dated by J. Brown... stef would see it as a challenge, if he keeps him quiet, then he's beaten one of the best forwards in the leage... if brown kicks a bag, well then he just joins the long list of defenders who he's given a bath... it wouldn't ruin his confidence at all...
