Logical?
You could justify any changes if you really wanted too.

Francis may end up being a superstar (I wouldnāt bet on it, but itās not crazy) but he was seriously average in his three games. Looks a worry one on one and hasnāt been sticking the intercept marks like he was last season.
Who does he get a game over in our starting back six?
Now, as for Myers being back in the squadā¦

I think heās done but I dont think they could have brought Draper in for his first game vs Stef (who is a monster)
I donāt mind Francis being dropped at all. Itās purely about matchups and Ambrose is stronger, fitter, plays taller and at this stage is just a better defender than Francis. Iāve heard Harvey say that he is the best defender at the club. Brown is an obvious in for Smack. Iām a massive fan of Redman and Geulfi (a better mid than defender) was the obvious player to make way if he is ready. Myers is the one Iād rather see us move on from, the most annoying part is the on ball time he will suck out of Parish and Zaharakis.

Or visa versa.
Iād rather play Mossie at FF and have stints in the ruck than play Clarke. People say he tried and worked hard. Iāll tell you what else works hard? Washing machines, doesnāt mean they can play AFL. Very uninspiring changes

I wouldnāt be surprised if Francis comes straight back in against North, if anyone of the talls is too battered and beaten up, it is not the worst idea to freshen him up, same goes for Guelfi.
I think Worsfold is genuinely trying to manage the big men (as well as a versatile player like Guelfi) through a period of the year we have been struggling for a while.

Omitting Francis is not smart. When a player is talented enough, you just carry them through. Get the games into them.
Myers in is typical rubbish. The guy is cooked.
Clarke is not AFL standard and they should be embarrassed that he was picked last week, let alone picked again this week.

Yep. We proved that with Joe. Just keep playing them and theyāll be fine.

Ins and outs, sure. But isnāt the question: Is this selected team good enough to defeat Brisbane?
edit: overall - itās a strong side. Not best 22 obviously but backline and onballers are excellent. And forward line is good enough if Brown does well.

If Hooker v Francis is the question you are asking then that is the problem. We could easily play Hooker forward in Smacks place and carry Francis through as long as possible.
