Sorry for the delay in posting this - looks like the team selection for this round has been a hot topic judging by the number of posts on the matter in the Rnd 14 match thread.
So Wicks is clearly out (of his mind) and we have five senior players who were recently injured who trained and should be available for section: Mills, Heeney, T McCartin, McDonald and Franklin.
If Tex can kick 10 on the Eagles, surely it would be wonderful to see Franklin wind back the clock and match or exceed the eight he kicked against the Eagles in 2018. I watched that match (on the telly) and it was a glorious display.
So who comes in?
I would imagine Longmire would put all five of the players back.
Thinking:
Mills in for Sheldrick or McInerney
Heeney in for Wicks
Tom McCartin in for Francis
McDonald in for Buller
Franklin in for Hayward, Clarke, or if that is too tall, then McLean is the unlucky out.
So my ins:
Mills, Heeney, Tom McCartin, McDonald and Franklin
My outs:
McInerney, Wicks, Francis, Buller and Hayward.
But Hayward as someone else has postulated, probably has compromising pics of Longmire so will stay in the team and McClean will probably be omitted instead.
