After K. Jack went down, Cunningham moved into the midfield. I'd suspect him to maybe play a run with role in the midfield with Fyfe or maybe even Hill?
McVeigh has been used in the middle a lot since Parker's injury, save for the Collingwood game and the 2nd half of Geelong.
In the GWS game when Mitchell was out with that poke in the eye, they kept it very simple and had a 4 man rotation with Kennedy, Hanners, KJ and McVeigh taking most of the bounces until very late in the game when the result was long past known, then we had Jetta and Lloyd taking a few. So I imagine that's what will happen (with Mitchell replacing KJ in this scenario) if neither Bird nor McGlynn come into the side

I don't think we asked to rest players.
I believe that Horse said from the outset that we will be fielding a full team and not resting anyone.
... but let's not let fact get in the way of your rant.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Rodney said in after match interview he had heard that the swans were not allowed to rest players but may have been a tongue in cheek remark.
Most experts say without Parker, Jack and an unfit Buddy swans are no chance but let's prove them all wrong. How sweet Hawks lose and swans win.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
Jake Niall wrote a piece in Sunday's Age stating his case for Hodge letting go of the captaincy. I'm not able to attach it as I read newsprint not screen!
The paragraph that interested me was as follows:
"He has been suspended for acts of brutality twice in 2015, clobbering Andrew Swallow early this season (3 matches) and then incurring a 3 match ban for a crude head-high bump on the sublime Chad Wingard. Like Sam Mitchell (who corked Nat Fyfe and Taylor Walker) and vice-captain Jordan Lewis (round arm on Tod Goldstein), Hodge has not wasted his excessive physicality on ordinary players this year."
It's not only Swans supporters who think this way Hawthorn play dirty.

This is a quick side that will put on a lot of pressure. Heeney may be needed for the midfield rotation with K.Jack out.
I think that's the best we can do at the moment all things considered ... I am glad Towers got to play a pretty good game for us ... but without pressure ... and I would not fancy him in the finals.
I have concerns about Lloyd's ability in the heavy physical stuff and I think Towers really showed some stern stuff last week when we were going backwards. His disposal was excellent, no, elite, and he is much more versatile than Lloyd. I would take the gamble on him.
We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!
I am happy with this side although I would have not been unhappy with Towers playing at the expense of Lloyd. I think we have a very good chance of winning this and by kicking an unSwansFinalsLike score of 100 or more points. Typo and Reid to kick 9 between them, Heeney or Jack to kick another couple. Another duece from someone like Kennedy or McVeigh. Singles to the likes of Goodes, Buddy, Cunningham and Reg. Shaw will kick two behinds. This will give us 17.10 112 to the Fockers 12.11 83 (to match their highest losing score for the year).
