Also Lennon looked good down back I thought. Took some good intercept marks floating back into the hole and used the ball nicely.

Bit of a left field one here. Alex Rance played on Betts on the weekend according to FF leaving Astbury with Walker and Chaplin with Jenkins.

Not entirely sure but I wonder if Rance's increase in scoring was due to not playing on a tall? Coincidental or is this a legit tactic to try free up Rance. Thanks guys!

I think it was more that he's our best defender and we didn't have a better match up for Eddie.

I found it odd considering we saw what happened to Rance when he briefly played on Fasoli in Round 2.

He'll pretty much always take the best forward though.

Kamdyn McIntosh was good down back the past two weeks in the absence of Grimes but once Grimes and Yaz come back, he'll have to play for his spot I think.

Him and cEllis are definitely at risk.

For who though?

Ellis has been a bit of a disappointment in AF this year and for that I blame you Nigeollarocknrolla

Townsend's probably likely and we could opt for some experience like Marcon or Moore.

Don't think Lids or Maric come back this week.

Also, Castagna was basically our best player in the VFL last week so I reckon he's a sneaky chance for a debut.

Only reason you'd play Maric is if you're super concerned about Hampson vs NicNat & Lycett.

Even then, a 5 day break would be pretty rough on a bloke coming off a long stint on the sidelines with a back injury.

Won't play for this reason.
