Remove the 4 bench players and probably 1 emergency and we still look better than last week. I guess the issues is simple: can they perform?
We still look pretty dubious in the ruck, and the key defence spot is not looking that strong. Last time Lisle was the difference between the teams. We have to find someone to take him out of the game..
Getting a bit more from guys like Armfield would be good too, as we had a number of Carlton listed players who were pretty ordinary last week (and for some time before that).

I'd still like to see Jesse Glass-McCasker have a go in the forward line, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. Since the game against the Aussie U18's he hasn't had a go in the forward line: it appears that the MC is not interested in trying him there.
Maybe his papers are already stamped? But he has not been doing enough as a key defender and doesn't appear to have developed much. A disappointment, but...
