Exactly, need easier games to blood kids. Teams like Coll have the luxury of blooding kids irrespective of who they play as they are top of the ladder.

Pies with 3-4 players suffering with a virus, reckon there will be a couple of changes to last weeks team.
My tip is Hill who I believe is the worst affected with sickness will be replaced by Ginnivan....
Josh Daicos is meant to be sick as well so I hope he gives it to Nick and both dont play....

Pittonet looked a little sore after landing from one ruck contest towards the end of last weeks VFL game.
It may have just been a momentary thing.
There's been no mention of him aggravating his injury.
He'll probably be selected but wait and see if he lines up.

Concerned forward line is going to be a little short this week.
Maybe give Marchbank a run in the forward line.

My preference is McGovern who can take a mark but also has enough pace to put some defensive pressure on plus by leading up the ground at times he can also drag his man away from Charlie too.
In Jacks absence and if Cripps is fit to play I would also be wanting some forward time from him too, pity we dont have Kennedy as well to do the same.
The other main option of course is to pick Pittonet and have TDK resting forward when not in the ruck but as has been discussed in depth on the forum its not always that simple playing two ruckman who do better as the primary ruckman but have little impact down forward a lot of the time. While Jack didnt have a great game vs Collingwood last time I think he will be really missed as he was struggling for form back then but in recent weeks has peaked at the right time and was giving us plenty and its a real shame he wont be playing.
Yep mcgovern forward is the right move.
