With North losing two in a row, I think Laidley might make a few changes to their line-up this week. Jeremy Clayton and Sav Rocca pretty much select themselves this week, however he might play a Trotter or LeCras or Urch similar to Grima getting selected last week...but who will they drop?
Port would be looking to try and minimise the number of changes to the side, but with good performers in the twos, and players coming in from the Roos, it must be so difficult to pick a final 22. Assuming Rocca plays with North is Nick Thomas a chance at making his debut?

Hope Thomas gets a run. Was a very good junior footballer (AIS U/16) who has had injury trouble of late & has worked hard since being at Port
North are likely to drop the following:
John Baird
Mark Porter
Mick Stevens
Eddie Sansbury
Blake Grima is a chance despite being fairly impressive for mine.
Well so many COULD play in Ports side I would think the only players that might get dropped, despite not doing anything too badly during the game are Aloi (who spent a lot of time on the bench, McIntosh (either out injured or dropped) even Watson, S Harvey and Rudd could be squeezed out.
To come back in from the twos possibly Joel Perry, Tim Ryan, Nick Thomas.
I think Laidley will persist with Grima..
Bloody hard work trying to figure out where and who will play if John Baird, Mark Porter, Mick Stevens and Eddie Sansbury all come back.
Would think Fitzgerald will try to minimise the number of changes into the side this week, so perhaps no-one from the two's, and 3 changes from the roos.
There is no way Watson will be dropped from Port, he is on the verge of senior selection and was BOG a couple of weeks ago. The others I have no problem with being dropped.

Hopefully Perry and Shore get a game.

He should have! I predicted it though, Grima dropped along with Baird and Porter.

Porter will play ruck obviously, Baird will probably play CHB. The others are in blue and white.

That would be wise, but I wouldn't object to Shore and Perry getting a game.
This weeks side... Perry,Shooter and Gibson in the mix Perry and McMahon were good in the twos.. Gibson missed with illness

Interesting to see who lines up on Werribees talls, I think Minson, Skipper, Bandy and even Morgan, Wiggins and Croft have a bit of height about them.
A few showers. Windy.

Maybe with poor weather on sunday we are better off not going into the game with an overly tall line-up ?
