By not playing McCartin this week, he would get another 18 daysrecovery time given that our following game is on a Sunday.
Tom is our best key defender and he will be missed if he doesn't play, especially against a tall forward line like the Dogs have. If we want to get some extra height in the backline, we could bring in Hamling, who has plenty of experience and has played well in the VFL. With Weightman out, they are a bit less of a small forward threat, so it's not out of the question.
These selection calls are difficult when we have several options that are reasonably close.
