Even though many will like SPS and Murphy getting dropped the inclusions are barely AFL standard so reality is we are considerably weaker with these changes - not expecting a massive game from any of this group but they must at least contribute or these changes could swing the result in a close game. 

They get Ridley back but lose Phillips so have a no name Ruckman.

Lose this and no can count finals out.

Massive game.

The General put Williams out. Good old general soreness.

So if we get done by 10 goals because Owies and Dow offered SFA.....will people realise why Murphy and SPS are in the team?

I hope the kids provide a spark that we sometimes seem to lack, but we have just as much chance of going the other way.

Its a tough call to be making in a very winnable game. Lets hope the MC hasn't cost us the 'w'.

Attempting to see the positives in these changes...

Owies at least will bring forward line pressure.

Parks to defense.

Stocker into the midfield.

Dow into midfield.

SOJ obviously didn't come up.

Not sure why SPS got dropped? He's one of the few that actually can hit a target.

For $850000 as a member I expect the player being paid that sort of money to front up and shut up.
Hamstring, broken leg? Fine have a couple of weeks off.
General soreness? WTF? Taking the piss. I mean taking our money.
FFS you're a professional footballer, this is your job, one day a week.
General soreness?????

  I would suggest because he hasn't been playing well and I don't think that can be disputed.  Mind you on that criteria rigouously applied we'd have a hell of a lot more outs.

If Owies and Dow dominate, can we never see Murph and SPS ever again?

Seriously?
