Rowbottom for Jack
Emg Ronke Rose McInerney Clarke
Omitted I think
Nah. "Didn't come up" according to Longmire. Interestingly he was vague about what he didn't come up from. I guess it is the lingering effects of the head knock but the club is in a difficult position if they acknowledge that, given he went back on the ground.
Sounds like an easy, media free, way to slide Jack out of the team....Happy with that.
I really hope Rose is given a decent go it over the coming weeks.
Having said that, I'm a big Rowbottom fan...IMO he's going to be a midfield gem, so getting some early games into him is an excellent outcome.
As an aside...The weather forecast for Hobart is fabulous...18ยบ, partly cloudy , light winds

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
I quite like that team. I think that Rowbottom can definitely handle the promotion. Also it's nice to have some stability. Especially after a win; as confidence should be up, which hopefully will translate into better combinations and skills.
Gold Passes out, youth in. It's what we should be doing in this "transition" year, happy with that.
NEAFL bye so can take a few emergencies, just in case.....
It's a very mysterious injury given that Horse was adamant after the game that Kizza wasn't concussed and passed the test. But a convenient one, and I don't think there will be a lot of objections that he's not playing on Saturday.
Good to see Rowbottom in, this would have to make us the youngest side again on the weekend.
To be fair, passing a concussion test performed shortly after the incident doesn't preclude him later showing signs of concussion. As is often reported, concussion is not always immediately apparent. You have to wonder if anyone noticed his output disappeared after a very productive opening quarter and thought to reconfirm whether he was affected by the knock. I guess you have to give them the benefit of the doubt that the medics continued to monitor his obvious signs of well-being, even after he passed the initial test. And the coaches were likely too preoccupied with the tight contest to have time to wonder.
