Even if they place Clark on long-term injury list, I can't see Magner being activated this week, although he obviously deserves it.
It's hard to see why you would rest Viney and then send him back to Casey to play the week after, so I'd say he's a monte to come back in.
Most of the other hardball getters did enough in Brisbane to warrant another game - Rodan had a great second term and was one of the few that found a way through traffic, Bail always tries and Evans spreads impressively to the wing.
I reckon there are three midfielders under the pump this week.
Jordie - who couldn't get it until the last term - his first game back should save him.
Bleasey - the coach doesn't seem to like him - but it would be strange to see him taken out against a side with pace like Carlton.
M.Jones - works pretty hard but had a pretty ineffectual game last week.
Of the others McDonald and Tappy were pretty ordinary in Brisbane - but the coach loves them so they are safe, albeit Tappy may be the sub this week.
Davey is clearly out of favour and will be sent back to Casey this week, while Pedersen is a straight swap for Dawes - although personally I'd give Dawes another game at Casey so he can come in against Gold Coast when the ball will actually be up his end a bit.
The other in will be Dunn because the coach ditched his plan - hatched last May - to play Jack Watts as a defender and will want another bigger body down back, even though Nicholson should be an inclusion because he has pace and will be needed for Garlett.
For those of you who weren't in Brisbane, I'm sorry to say that Jack W's game in defence was by far the worst effort I have seen from him (yep worse than first two rounds) - he didn't chase hard, he kicked sideways on all bar one of nine occasions in the first half, even Paperone led him to the ball and he was sent forward because there was nowhere else to play him. He was about to be subbed out when he slotted his first goal and the coach changed his mind and chose Blease instead. Once he was sent forward he showed what an exquisite kick he is.
Out: Blease or M.Jones, Davey and Pedersen (if Dawes is rushed in).
In: Viney, Dunn and Dawes
Personally I'd include Nicho (for Garlett) and Gillies (for Rowe/Hampson) and leave out both McDonald and Tapscott to get some form and confidence back at Casey, but that ain't going to happen.
