Fasolo? Special K???
If not Special K, surely Levi out and Lobbe or Phillips in?
Garlett given a second chance?
Not sure if it true, I've heard that Phillips had a bit of a setback with his recovery, and SpecialK isn't progressing as well as hoped but even so given his history the club is going to keep him restrained to prevent self-harm! Not sure what is going on with Lobbe, we might be playing conservative with his 30 year old body as well, he is also a crazy trainer.
I think Garlett is exactly what we need if he is in form, now that Pickett is injured I think we should persist. We need some medium sized players with X-Factor that can leverage opportunities created when opposition focus on guys like Fisher, Dow or Walsh.
I'd keep Fasolo under wraps for the short term, even if he seems right to go! The club needs to find a game that lets him step in and have instant success, it'll boost his confidence and he'll be on a roll. I think I'd play him against the Dogs Rnd 5, with injuries they look to have no suitable match up at the moment.
I like clubs to use older guys wisely, you don't swap a kid with a kid, you swap a kid for an older wiser type. Let the kids run wild for a few games, and when they get tired and the players around them get frustrated give an old head a run instead, it gives the kids a taste and then having the old head in the team you get a ready-made who actually does his job and it gives the players that were around the kid a break from being nursemaids and nannies. This way you can get the best out of all players.
