Fixed.

They will take some solace that we have been poor aerially and with Big Max out imthey still have the advantage from selection. 
 

Weed has to make Andrew’s accountable there is no doubt about it. 

Good ins. 

This is good 

Their ins aren't a patch on their outs.  Weakens them considerably.

The three ins have barely 80 games between them.  I think Tunstill is a debutant.

It shows they have very little depth beyond their best 22. 

Dees by 3 goals!!

Gardiner out is big as well. He is their second tall key defender. 

I don't get how rucks will work. Max has a superhuman tank. He's out. What will be the rotations?

If Bbb is away from the goalsquare this could be a masterstroke.

Geez. You'd be tempted to name Tommo as the sub considering our defensive woes this year. 

I'm pleased Bedford is getting a start - pace might be critical

Nothing unexpected. We will miss big Max big time. 50/50 chance with that team.

The role of a witches hat ?

Under the circumstances these are the right changes. Now just get it right in the head.

Our best available team imo.  Just need a return to form from a few who have been a bit 'off the pace' in recent weeks, and we will  record a comfortable win.  Brisbane 'outs' help in this regard.

Apart from Max this is one of the best balanced teams we have put out on the park this year. Are they ready to go, I bloody hope so.✅✅

Our sub will be over 180cm for just the 2nd time this year. Could make a good argument for Tomlinson since we've gone in smaller and Petty has been sustaining a few injuries recently. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised to see Hunt who can cover back and forward.

Hunt as the sub.

While there is a lot of talk with regard to the ruck structure and operation of the forward 50, I get the feeling that we are going into this match light on midfield rotations.

Jordon, Langdon and a rotation of either Brayshaw or Sparrow covers the wings with Langdon on the ground 99%+ of the time it is the onball brigade that looks light to me.

Petracca, Oliver and Viney are a given but cannot be there 100% of the time. Harmes, Sparrow and Brayshaw can rotate through there as can ANB but after that there is not a lot of midfield depth in this team.

Take into account that we have named an IC of two defenders and two small forwards. Bedford and Pickett can make an appearance in the middle or around the ball but they cannot spend a deal of time there during the match.

I see this as a tough one to win for the Dees.

 

 

Like the changes just thought Sparrow is a tad lucky don’t know what Dunstan has to do to get a game 

Geez this is a big , big game. One of those "eight pointers" I reckon.
