No they won't they will bring in Preuss that's the reason he is on the list. If Viney is injured\rested play the young kid Jordon. Brayshaw will definitely get more midfield time. I think they will stick with Harmes down back. 

Yes I agree that Preuss should come in. He’s the backup Ruck.  I just think goody will use tommy mcd. It’s because goody never seems to go the logical route sometimes.

Cannot agree on Hannah he is our Kent replacement. Way to inconsistent. 
Both are good VFL players but just not good enough at senior level. 

I agree OD.  ANB, Fritta, Hannan & Melk all in a similar boat i reckon.  Fritta tends to do better playing off a wing at times.

We lack a dangerous HF both in the air and ground level which is why i'd be getting Harmes to play more time forward and pushing Viney up there more often as well.  As we saw last week that paid off a little with a couple of goals.

The issue though, who else do you bring in?

I can't imagine that Preuss is match fit.

If he is uninjured and has been for a few weeks, then he could be as fit as any player not currently in the side.

He fits the bill RN but every second week you get very little. The trick would  be to know when it is going be the other week and only play him then.

I am amazed some of the names being thrown up to replace when Goody is on record as saying we only took 29 players to Adelaide for the week. That makes the only potential ins as emergencies from last game which I am pretty sure were The Macs, Rivers and Spargo, Kozzie is also definitely there, so that means only two others, one of which I suggest is Hannan. If Gawn is not playing then I doubt but hope we took Preuss  and if not I suggest TMac will play and LJ will ruck. If Viney as rumoured is also not playing I suggest Rivers will play back and Harmes into the rotation but with Angus getting more midfield time.  Would love to know who the other option we took was though.

Is it possible that we might fly other players to SA on the same flight as North (to abide the AFL covid protocols)...just a thought...

OD that probably applies to about one half of our team.  Imagine the ins & outs every week

As long as he plays mostly ruck Mr Leg.

Actually a week's rest for Big Maxy in prep for the following week against his arch enemy Grundy, may not be the worst thing that could happen.  A little protection also against the big body of Goldstein crashing in this week couldn't hurt.

Might also give the opp a bit of a headache as they won't have alot of data / intel as to where Pruess tends to place the ball with our mids with his tap work.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Viney and Gawn out. Two massive outs.

Is Pruess in the hub?  Surely Harmes has to go into the middle and push forward as per his past role now.  Rivers comes in to replace Harmes' role.

Guessing Brayshaw goes into the centre for the whole game which just might be a good thing.

I agree.  If he was sore, then had to be rested versus the bottom placed Crows who had a lower ranked ruckman in O’Brien.  It’s a hmmmm moment.

Having watched Tmac's manoeuvrability last time he played Preuss would have to be catastrophically unfit for that to rule him out.

[dazzledavey36 54,212]

I don’t think Pruess is in Adelaide.

Angus Brayshaw, step on up!  And you too Harmes.
