Jack Carroll injured a thumb a couple of weeks back and is expected to be sidelined for 2-3 weeks.
Newnes has his limitations but IMHO, has been pretty consistent and plays a role....and has been since Round 1 last year really.
With still seemingly no depth after all these years, it's hard to see too many changes. Stocker will definitely play and hopefully at the expense of SPS who has been stinking it up all season. It's been a massive failure on successive coaches to try and turn him into a defender...play him in the midfield and if he can't cut it there, trade him out.
If Weitering misses with concussion, Daniher or Hipwood (or both) will have a field day.
Injuries have cruelled us but after all these years, we have 2 legitimate ruckman on our list....TDK who is injured and Pitto who was recruited as backup anyway. Not having a go at him as he's not the issue. We've got two legitimate key defenders and Jones is into his 30's. And a plethora of small/mids and young kids who we either haven't seen much or anything of and the ones who we have seen, aren't up to it.
