I don't know if Levi is available for this one thanks to his 2 week ban, but based on his last hit out in the VFL (and his approach all year really) with Pittonet out he is a walk up start again.

It was nice to see those little signs from SoJ of what he can do in the midfield. Not the rucking that was bullcrap, but in terms of 2nd efforts, tackling, inside work, he is clearly a genuine midfield option for when Cripps or Walsh need a break. I don't expect SoJ to provide the run and spread, but he'd be a nice tall compliment to a good ruck if he wasn't rucking himself.
I hope they give him the chance again, did we run him as a tagger once before on Fyfe?
On the rucks, I thought most of this spreading the load stuff worked quite well, and I've got to wonder why we haven't done more of it to date. It's probably a bit fatiguing for the guys new to the gig, but it makes a huge difference to the 1st rucks ability to run out a game. Of course it depends on the opponent.
Did you notice Cripps and Walsh roving to the SoJ as the losing ruck, I can't say I ever seen this before, we just do not do it and it's a dead set puzzle why we don't. It's one of those things the more you do it the better you get at reading the opponents!

"Casboult was handed a two-match suspension, which can be reduced to a one-game ban with an early plea,"
I hope he took the early plea!!!

Casboult in for mine. Darcy and Lobb will work TDK over. Casboult's last game in the VFL was pretty good from all accounts.
I'd like to see Newman in the starting 22 as well. He added a bit when he came on yesterday. Freo have some dangerous smalls in Henry, Switkowski and Schultz. Having Newman in might just be what we need to let Saad play like he did yesterday.
That would mean Murphy and someone else going out.....possibly Newnes?

He did and will definitely be in the mix for the Freo game.

Richmond have tried to cheat with Pickett but its hasnt worked of late and I reckon Levi is an essential, Freo are not overly tall down back either so both TDK and Levi might be able to do some damage when resting and take some heat off Harry.
