Have to persist with 2 rucks, we just have no alternative as Nank can't be expected to take the load for the whole game. I expect this means Soldo and hope he can get into some form, but Samson Ryan must be a chance.
Prestia is clearly out. I would seriously consider giving Gibcus a rest, I would actually give him the week off and VFL next week then back into seniors, with the clear message that this is not a reflection on his form, but a reflection on the fact he is a first year player who has jumped up a couple of rungs from the games he was playing last year.
For Prestia I'm not sure if Cotch is not available, try Sonsie? Hmm, not sure he is ready. Dow hasn't been good of late, RCD looks a bust as a mid. Dunno really.
Gibcus rested should mean Miller gets a go, this would be a good outcome as Miller needs a go.
Must get Stack in so maybe CLarke back to the VFL. He is a first year player, no shame in getting a couple of senior games and then back to the VFL for more development. Clarke will be back, shows enough, needs development and some pre-seasons.
Would like to find a spot for Cumberland. Mid sized forward is not an easy position to play but he has shown he can be effective, just not sure who goes out.
Edwards is clearly struggling, but I'm not sure how competitive we can be in finals without Edwards playing well, maybe sub.
Never easy, we'll see on Thursday.
