^^ Ison is a good mix of tall and small.

I should've been more specific.

We have no emergencies that can play midfield.

Ison takes a turn in the midfield, Cerra could go back to his midfield role, and we have several small forwards who can pinch hit in the midfield.  I don't really think that we'd miss a midfielder.

The interesting emergency selection for me is Reidy after he missed the VFL game last round.  He must have shone at training  :-\

Yep despite his height Ison can play the small role if necessary.
He's been going along steadily in the VFL, but often he's doing that special bit of play that indicates he'll be a really good one with an extra season or two.

I wouldn't be too concerned if any of our emergencies got a game
It's a good mix.

Jack can cover midsize and smalls
Derksen forward or back.

Reidy's the interesting one...given the Gawn factor.

I was sure that we already had a thread for this game but I can't find it.

One change for us; Nick Haynes comes in for Wade Derksen who has been demoted to emergency.

Wade is stiff to miss out but Melbourne relies on its small and medium forwards - as well as Gawn drifting forward.

Yep, understandable. Keeping Lewis Y in the side is also a good move.

Derksen doesn't deserve to be dropped but credit to Lewis Young (and the need for a back-up ruck) for turning his season/career around under Fraser.

All im gonna say is, make sure you have some basic skills to live without tech.

You dont need to apocalypse plan, but the way its heading, we might have to survive without fighting the AI overlords, but we might not be able to use things embedded into every day life.

Water purification, fuel, payment etc.  That means having a degree of self sufficiency.  You dont have to be fully self reliant, but knowing how to garden will go a long way.  The more information you know, the better.  We might go to the stone ages for a bit.  Ive got a fairly good stock of things that will keep us going for a season. 
Oh and keep a few hundred dollars available in case of emergency.  I forsee a situation where EFT payments cant happen for a brief period, and the ability to transact might be back to cash only.
