Might as well get in early.
So what do we know?
Shaw is a potential out with his ankle. Kizza seemed to recover ok from having his hand stomped on. I don't think anyone had a TERRIBLE game against Richmond.
Potential ins if we believe what the injury reports would have us believe:
- Ben McGlynn
- Kurt Tippett
- Tom Mitchell
Let's say only the former two are a realistic chance of coming straight into the lineup. McGlynn for Shaw seems a fair swap (Jones to start and cover Shaw, and McGlynn to swap back into midfield). But if Tippopotamous comes back in, who comes out? Can we carry Pyke AND Derickx AND Tippett in the same lineup?
For mine, it would be Tippett and McGlynn IN, Derickx and Shaw OUT, Lloyd the sub. My thinking behind this would be that Pyke would be our preferred ruck if fully fit and firing, and we need to give him game time well before finals if he is to come good.
