Hard to see anyone being dropped but Silvagni and Fisher might both miss.
Jones could replace Silvagni, he's strong and in good form so he deserves a shot.
Thomas was BOG in the magoos so he's the logical replacement for Fisher who I really rate, Boekhorst is another option.as well as Kerridge, his disposal is questionable to say the least but his body strength might come in handy against Collingwood.
Shame to see that Dylan Buckley isn't putting his hand up for a game, he was in Docherty's draft so he's had plenty of time, this year will make or break him you'd think.
I'm expecting a close game.
Like your observations. Probably will only be 2 forced changes with SOJ and ZF missing through injury. I like your idea of Jones replacing SOJ, he's quick and is now really working hard. This would give Rottingwood some huge headaches, how to cover Meat/Kreuz, Weits, C Curnow and Jones up forward and when Crippa rests up forward there's another 195cm headache. Matty Wright is a ripper as our small forward at present and I'm sure SPS would like to hit the scoreboard some more, along with a few of our mids
Not so keen on Daisy replacing ZF. ZF is quick and gets to contests/makes contests. Think I'd rather see Pickett return or even Boekhorst or Cuningham... the quickness will be important against Rottingwood and Daisy aint as quick as he used to be.
