6 - Watts 5 - Martin 4 - McKenzie 3 - Howe 2 - Green 1 - Nicholson

Very tempted to add Green to the 'out' list as his form has been terrible this year. Does anyone know if he is carrying an injury that would explain his form slump?

In: Jamar, Petterd, Nicholson Outs: Gawn, Jetta (inj), Bennell Jamar plays >50% game time from the goal square to give us structure up forward and relieve some of the pressure on Jurrah and co Petterd to play HFF and rotate through the midfield. Straight swap for Jetta Nicholson is a straight swap for Bennell who I believe was worst on ground on Monday. Nicholson has the pace and I believe can play a similar role to Bennell with more defensive pressure. Garland is a possibility if fully fit and it would be a toss the coin Strauss/Morton who would make way

Ins Gawn, Howe, Trengrove, Scully Outs Newton, Bate, Bennell, Evans Depending on how Scully pulls up this week, Scully to be sub or substituted at 3/4 time. Davey/Dunn to return via Casey. Need more intensity from Morton, Petterd to retain their spots as the regulars return. Hopefully Ncholson gets the chance to play the whole game.

Bennell is having another shocker. Never should have been recalled.

Given our current injuries it is unlikely we will win any of the following three games. This is a time we should give a taste in some of developing players namely - Howe, Gawn and Nicholson to see how they go. Changes for next week In - Howe, Gawn, Nicholson and Morton Out - Tapscott, Bate, Newton & Pettard Sub - Davey Howe to provide a forward target to make a contest and allow our small forwards to get their hands on the ball Gawn to alternate between ruck and full forward. When at full forward he is to stay in the goal square and use his height to advantage. Nicholson - earn't the right to start in the 22 and adds some pace to the line up. Morton - agree with some of the other posters that he is too good to be at Casey Please do not bring back Bennell - he was been as bad as Davey this year.
