Owies would be a definite out I think

Walsh, Kennedy, Martin, Fogarty, Binns would be in line for selection pending on fitness.

I think Fogarty and Binns deserve a run in front of LOB and Martin imo.

Will LDU be out? He was withdrawn in the warm-up in Tassie yesterday with calf tightness. After a short-week, can they really play him? Calf injuries are quite problematic and if he does play that really amounts to an admission that the doctors fecked it up by pulling him out of the game yesterday.

Why do AFL footballers continue to do ridiculous stretches in warm-ups? Kevin Bartlett refused to do them with his team and he was a serious sprinter away from the game so he knew how athletes warmed up. He’d just grab a ball, handball it along the ground and pick it up a few times. In other words, he’d get in some dynamic stretching by just doing the stuff he’d be doing during the game. Fair chance he was never going to be jamming his foot against a goalpost while pulling his torso closer to it during the game.

Id have Young take Larkey who seems to save his best games for us rather than Weitering.......will the Mckays play on each other?
E. Curnow to Cunnington who likes playing against us.
Nth have a few prime movers like Simpkin out and LDU doubtful and were hopeless vs Hawthorn who are very average so we should get the job done easily and be enjoying some hot cross buns and chocolates later....

One of the McKays will pull out.....always do.

Do we need Curnow for R5? Do Roos need cunington for R5? If the answer to either is yes, best not play them on eachother. Will get fiery and one (if not both) will get reported.

I thought Ben McKay is at best only 50/50 to return from injury, I heard he had a small setback a week or two back. Stress fractures in feet are always a bit unpredictable.

Buy low, sell high.

Ben McKays price is as low as it will ever get IMO.
TDKs is about as high.

I think they both have improvement ahead, and TDK has potential to be the No.1 Ruck  / Forward in the next two years.

That is all TDK and Ben McKay have to trade at this stage.

To our club, given we have Weitering and Young, Ben McKay has far less value than TDK.

Yes, and Ben will cost you about 1/3 of what TDK will. ;)
