Assuming McKay is fit, he replaces Charlie. Easy.
Who does Cripps replace if he's fit this week? Tough call IMO.
Dow probably did the least possession-wise, but not really considering he played mostly as a small forward. He impacted quite nicely I thought, and his skills were much sharper. My opinion is pretty clear on the youngsters. I think they should be played as flankers or pockets (or midfield in the 2's) until they are ready for proper midfield responsibilities. Dow's atrocious disposal at times could be attributed to him not being ready yet for all the running he's been asked to do, and he's simply stuffed and down on confidence when trying to execute. We all know he's not the best kick in the side, but I think he'll become a reasonable kick as he develops, as there's nothing too horrid when looking at his kicking style. I think he's finally being played where he should be given his development stage, and he should stay there next week.
So who gets dropped if Crippa is fit?
