Game is at Etihad Stadium on Sunday at 1.10pm.
Chappy and Cooney should finally return. Carlisle and Zaka strong chances too.
But who goes out? Fletch limped off very late and was seen grimacing. Does Langford go back to the 2’s because of lack of match fitness?
Gonna be a LONG week.
In: Chappy, Coons, Gwilt
Out: J.Merrett, Langford, Fletcher (if injured)
Smack stays in.
Chapman, Cooney and Zaka come in and replace Gleeson (too skinny), Langford (busted) and Hibberd (just because)
Because ■■■■ it. More half forwards, less half backs. Oh, and Carlisle should miss another week because it’s a neck injury. ■■■■ is serious. Though if ever there was a game a big key forward could use to get back in form it would be this one.

If these guys coming off injury are right to go
In: Cooney, Chapman,
Out: Langford, Jerrett
If not
In: Fantasia
Out: Langford
Think i’d give zaka and jake another week to be safe
Langford will need a rest after that collision he looked seriously shaky afterwards
It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Cooney and chappy were given an extra week to be cautious.
Yet blind freddy can see Carlisle and Zaka have been struggling prodominately due to injury, so shouldn’t the same cautious approach be taken with them ? I’m betting it’s not though.
Stanton, Hibberd and probably howlett need to be dropped, but they won’t, if any or all of the 4 suggested come back in, it’ll be for guys like
Langford
Gleeson
Jmerrett
Mckernan.
In: Cooney Chapman Carlisle Zaka
Out: Langford (inj) Jerrett Ashby and maybe Demps or Gleeson
Smack stays in, no way you could drop him.
Best leave Carlisle out for another week, Check Langford out with the Doctor after a heavy knock. Fletcher groin.
In: Cooney, McKernan, Chapman, J. Merrett.
Out: Carlisle, Fletcher, Zacca, Langford.
McStay, Andrews and resting ruckman: Martin/Leuenberger are their 3 talls up fwd.
Not the best names going around but if Fletch does miss, you’d still have to go for Gwilt coming in instead of playing just the two KPD.

Does Langford go back to the 2's because of lack of match fitness?He looked pretty damn sore when he limped off, very slowly, after the three-quarter-time huddle. Did he have the strapping on the left thigh/hamstring before the game?
Pig dropped

No. The strapping was a result of his 1st qtr collision. Hirdy said he copped a bad cork & they tried to play him on for a while, but he couldn’t run it out.
I’d guess he’ll be right by next w/end.
