Doc has started in the middle at centre bounces plenty this year.

Does very well in there as well. Love how they are using him this year. Very difficult to tag.

As I wrote earlier, Docherty should be part of the midfield rotations now.  He needs to add a little polish, like nailing that shot at goal, but that will come given the opportunity, and we need more midfield grunt. 

There's more than enough talent in our defensive pool to cover Docherty's absence.

I'll be amazed if Byrne doesn't get selected, he's a better player than White anyway.
The other one is a bit tricky, Graham is the obvious choice but it wouldn't surprise me if they go with Smedts, I don't think there will be any changes but the forced ones.
If Cripps was playing I'd be confident but with both him and Ed Curnow missing we might struggle to match Footscray's intensity around the ball.
A bit less than a 50% chance I reckon.

Great when he gets near the ball, and I agree looked the most likely for AFL of all our NBs crew despite Boekhorst getting 30+ touches.

However, the when he gets near the ball part is a clincher at the moment. He's way out of touch and way out of fitness. I doubt he'd come in and have any more impact than Sheehan is at the moment and most supporters potted Sheehan after the last game. (BTW., I don't think that is Sheehan's fault, we used him poorly giving him the wrong opponent and the wrong position!)

Also, I hear Byrne has a severe case of bruising on the very same knee he has just recovered from injuring. So I suspect with only a few games to go in 2017 we will be very, very conservative with Ciaran Byrne!

He's played fewer games than SPS, Silvagni and Curnow, he needs to play.
