The fact we have a small injury list bodes well for our season!

It's interesting that our injuries have improved and Richmond's have gotten worse since we lured Damien Raper across. Does he deserve some credit? I find it impossible to gauge (but still interesting to speculate).

I wouldn't mind JPK coming in for Rowbottom who could start as sub.

The club has the "luxury" of the VFL team playing after the AFL match this weekend. So they could pick Kennedy as sub and then still give him a full workout in the VFL if he isn't needed in the senior game.

Yes. This.

Joey and Campbell in for Clarke and Wicks. Hopefully Hickey will be ok as Reid and Armety pairing will struggle.

I watched the two's and saw JPK do his ball magnet thing, his disposal efficiency was very ordinary.

I wouldn't take anyone out of the guts and swap Campbell for Clarke. Only change FWIW.

This works for me. I was concerned that JPK sitting a game out at this time would be a step backwards after getting a couple of games under his belt.

Get Joey in

Most would want Joey in- thing is, there’s no spot for him at present. And please don’t say you know who!

As Liz said, med sub and if not needed, a run in the twos.

Anyone who thinks James is being dropped is either not watching games closely or has an inherent bias .
Hard to argue that the Chad has become probably our best player under 25 but James would be one of the first picked each week based on what he delivers for the team on the field.
Based on that I don’t know where we play JPK and lord knows I want him in.
