This is what is said on the HS web site.
Thomson Dow (29 disposals, nine clearances) may once again come into the selection frame, as will Jason Castagna (18 disposals, two goals
Please, no Castagna!!!
I ignore all media commentary on 'bests'. They don't watch games of football and just look at stats to name their list of bests. Dow could have kicked the ball out of bounds on the full 29 times and still made the bests.

If Castagna comes back in I will lose my mind.
I highly doubt Castagna will play again this year. He was dropped after a game he got a lot of the ball (by his standards) and did some ok stuff. But he also did some peak George stuff, and I reckon Hardwick and the rest of the MC have decided/realised peak George is now too costly.

Assuming he is still on the list next year, if he can spend his off-season working to find the mental space that led him to be a key component of a couple of premierships, and part of a 3rd, and the mental space that led to less moments like the infamous smother. he may find his way back at some stage in 2023.

Bring George back into the side in 2023 after a massive pre-season. Early 2023 will be known as " The Summer of George"

Not sure who can come in and replace Grimes.
This report does not sound very convincing, from the VFL report.
He was solid on the day. It certainly wasn't his best game, our backs as a whole were a little bit off on the weekend, but I'm looking forward to seeing them bounce back as a unit next weekend."

Come on Edwards has to be sub at most..

Out grimes ...edwards to sub
In gibo ...rioli jnr
The problem with Junior is he doesn't seem to have the stamina to play out four quarters. Right now he is the perfect impact player we need as a sub. Another pre-season and that will be a different matter

Balta goes back and Miller plays second ruck. Wouldnt be bringing in Gibcus for Grimes
We normally play a 7th defender, so Baker (Mr fix it) goes back...Balta, Tarrant, Broad, Vlustuin, Rioli, Short, Baker

Ins: Roli Jnr,
Outs: Grimes

MJ will not provide high impact across a whole game atm. Needs to be introduced at 3Q time. Groin soreness always works.

Reckon Stacky is a smoky to replace Grimes. Levels up in the 1s and as we all know is quality.

Listening to Hardwicks presser we will only go in with one recognised ruck. Therefore Miller or Balta as back up to Nank.

Mansell or Gibcus to replace Grimes.

Marshall out for Port. Big.
Yep kicked 3 in our earlier meeting and clearly a marking threat that we no longer have to worry about, even more reason for JNR to replace Grimes rather than bringing in a another key back.
