Out Beau (inj) Milne (susp)
Might save Tezza getting the chop.
Surely TDL or Milera are out even if Milne was suspended. We cant play those 3 again especially against a Sydney game style. I will be very disappointed if we play all of them. I would be worried about SW coaching if it happened. Hopefully TDL hit an Essendon player.
I would've dropped him anyway, along with the other three smalls (Saad, Milera and TDL). They can all go back to Sandy until/if they learn how to tackle and pressure inside our attacking 50. Plus we need some bigger bodies so I'd be bringing in more mediums into our forward line (Dunnel, Murdoch, Siposs and Lee) and have mids resting there (Steven, Armo, Joey and Dal).
Milne lucky that he's got an excuse but quite possibly he comes back through Sandy. Dennis-Lane should prime himself to chase the Frosty Miller because he's not showing enough to play many more for the Saints. Maister might find it hard to get back into the side when fit, if Hickey or even Kosi can play some good games.

The forward line looks much more potent with a couple of mediums down there in Siposs and Lee, rather than the four small forward setup which has been proven not to work. Hickey obviously spells McEvoy in the ruck and should do a much better job than Maister or Blake. Still not enough numbers through the midfield, though. It'd be great to bring in a young mid but with a four day break it just won't happen.
