Plowman in, Martin emergency along with Parkes, Fogarty and Boyd. Dow still not in the top 26.

Like Plowman in the side - he is an underrated stopper. Nothing fancy about him but is tough and strong and usually gets the job done.

I think that makes the most sense from a team balance perspective.

Plowman ........ :
The Hawks have McEvoy out with a neck injury which has to be some sort of benefit to us.

Dow was in the 26 last round, but he's got a fair bit of competition for a spot.
Martin missing out is a bit of a surprise but it's a good sign; reputation isn't as important as performance.
I think that Parks or Boyd will be the sub and Jack will be strutting his stuff in the VFL.

Saad out (h and s p)
Boyd to debut in his place.

My take on Boyd from the pre-season game(s) i saw him in was that he was dead last on the pecking order on our list and daylight was second last.
Now, i could see why we chose him when we did (even if he wasn't a big need - hello KPD!) but he did have a decent kick on him and didn't mind a run. Between him, and LOB, we didn't have much else (obviously behind Saad...and maybe Martin).
But his kicking was absolutely horrendous in the praccy matches and i can't see how it will improve with the increased pressure of an actual AFL game.
I hope i'm wrong, but i think this is our biggest selection blunder thus far.

With Saad and Gov both out, we've lost some effective smart kicks to position out of our defense along with 3rd man up stuff. Midfield pressure will become even more important. Not a lot of creativity left in our defense now... probably just Williams. Boyd was very good in the Magoos last week... it's his big chance.
