If Lions use Hipwood/Daniher as backup ruck, JSOS won't stand a chance and it takes him away from his forward role. No, if we use Pitto D50 side and keep Young as a backup, with BigH doing some F50 work, we do not need Mirkov.
I think we lose too much run and gain very little if we bring Mirkov in.
I suspect Fogarty or Cottrell should be in this week, with Durdin and Fisher in the small forward rotation and Honey the out. Fisher did more than enough to retain his spot and Durdin was much better, Honey had a small good patch but to me it wasn't enough. This assumes Owies isn't yet good to go.
Rucking Pitto, Young and BigH/Cripps leaves SoJ in a much better place, he had plenty of run to go on with for 4-Qtrs.

Drop Ed Curnow only when Cotters is back. His 2 way running is huge and leadership underestimated.

Ed was OK last game though, he has very good vision even if the execution struggles sometimes, I thought he's worked so far this season when he is forward of centre.
Doubt there will be many changes this week.

Neale is one of those players who is hard to tag and we may need a tag team to rotate off him.
Think Cripps might need some help too with Dunkley and Berry all over him.
Don't want to see anything silly like Hollands on McCluggage either, both play the wing but the Brisbane player is more of a genuine mid and a key driver and needs a more negative type who can keep close. I think Cottrell would suit as a tagger and I'd use Hollands off the bench or rest him...

I tend to agree, although McCluggage is possible the biggest Jekyll and Hyde type in the AFL, collects as much hard ball as anybody but misses far more pudding shots than most!
If McCluggage is getting the footy, you want it to be in set shot territory, not further up the field and feeding Hipwood or Daniher, although Daniher can be equally as bad.
I think Zorko and Rich hurt them, they might not get a great lot of footy but when they find space they deliver it pretty well.

Ed has lost a bit of edge imho and is a lot less effective with the ball, still runs and tags ok but I don't want him delivering the ball as much and taking midfield time off more talented players. I like Ed but I see him as the 2nd tagger now behind George and would have sent him to Zorko if he was playing..

Ed has a knack of shutting down players and getting his own ball when that's a requirement. George doesn't have the motor to go with Neale.
