So back to reality. Next week its the swans that fair to say will be a bit more of a challenge than the dogs.

So will it be just the one change

Blease out if he doesnt come up

Magner in

Probably against the swans grunt it should be Magner but wouldn't be surprised to see Strauss on his performance yesterday.

Reward good performances and stick in Magner for Blease. No omissions if possible.

Straussy was quite good yesterday, as mentioned; I'd like to see him given another shot. But I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that James Magner is just not in the club's plans. I don't really get why, but there it is.

What about Jack Grimes - isn't he due back in.

Also would drop Brynes and have either Magner or Tappy back in.

Strauss or Tappy in to replace Blease.

Hopefully Blease plays and it's just Grimes for Byrnes.

Out: Dunn, Blease (if injured)

In: Strauss, Tapscott

Grimes? Would he be ready to immediately come into the seniors? He has been out a while.

I'd bring him straight back in. He's been running for a few weeks, and would have been able to ride and walk through his whole lay-off period. His endurance is probably good enough to play 3 quarters.

He is the captain after all. You don't just bring your captain through the VFL if you don't have to.

Out: blease, Byrnes

In: magner, tapscott

So does Jonesy lose his interim captaincy title once Grimes is back in? Probs won't be brought up.

yeah he does, he was on the sunday footy show this morning and they asked him that very question, and he confirmed he would just slide back to VC and garland down to DC

Don't change a winning formula. Blease out if he doesn't get over his ankle. Strauss in.

Magner is too slow for AFL footy.

Grimes will come straight in. Blease for Grimes and keep it at that.

In: Grimes, out: Blease. The other skipper said he thought he was ready, so if so then Magner is no longer eligible to play.

In: Strauss, Magner / Grimes (if fit)

Out: Dunn, Blease

Maybe it would be worth giving Matt Jones abit of a rest, he has been great for us but I have felt his performances have been slowly dipping a little bit, perhaps he is abit tired and needs a week off?

out blease, jones

in grimes, strauss

Changes to an absolute minimum and for injuries/rests only.

Nothing kills the winning feeling like being dropped...

Please keep the same team subject to them having no injuries.

Major changes have been a killer for the MFC this season.

From my understanding Grimes is eligible to play this week. That means Magner is no longer eligible, as his spot was only temporary whilst Grimes was on the LTI.

Grimes possibly another week away still...I would imagine that this injury report was relevent at some stage last week.

Out: Blease

In: Strauss

Byrnes had no effect on the game. I would not be surprised if he was dropped.

Can't imagine many changes and Bleasey is the only obvious injury.

Tapscott is a small forward and has done well against Swans in past - so a small forward for a small forward.

If Grimes is fit, then a decision has to be made on whether he replaces Clisby or Dunn and goes straight into back six.

Swans have quite a few injuries, but based on last week their five most regular forwards were Tippett, White, McGlynn, Bolton and Parker - so perhaps we don't need Dunn's size (and errors) this week, although Kennedy, O'Keefe and Everitt all drift forward and have a bit of size.

Out: Blease (inj), Dunn

In: Tapscott, Grimes (if fit)

Magner is too slow for AFL footy.

Just like Brock McLean?
