It will be interesting to see who plays this week. With Murphy and Sumner unlikely to be available, there should be 2 possible promotions. Tutt and Graham would probably be the favourites at this time to fill the breach. Especially as both are playing well.
Jamo may well be available, and he probably won't displace White at this point. That means the NBs should have at least 1 mature defender.
Phillips may well be back. He is likely to come back via the VFL, but he may displace Gorringe immediately. Either way the NBs get a tall back.
Liam Jones looks likely to be available for the NBs: he played his best game last year against Frankston (by a LONG way). He is playing reasonably at the moment and will want to impress. Given that Jaksch is already there and performing adequately, the forward line is looking OK.
The issue will be more with the midfield. But NB Captain, Tom Wilson, will be back, which is another 20+ possessions and probably a number of centre clearances. But after him Cunningham and DVR (maybe Smith?) are going to be required to do a lot of work in the midfield. I don't like that, but we will be recruiting mids in November.
