I’m not sure if this is a joke? The Hanrahan bloke is a 181cm forward and only other tall forward option looks to be McEvoy as a resting ruck.

Surely Sicily will be back this week to guard Kennedy or Darling. The worry there is he can’t play loose and probably only scores a 75. Better than a likely 30-50 playing forward though.
Not joking. Nash is a KPF and hanrahan plays forward. Bringing in 2 forwards and dropping a Key back surely means Sicily goes back to the backline where he belongs. For talls in the back it's basically O'Brien and Frawley. I'm fairly certain Sicily will play back.

Clarke scaled up to 63, tricky decision whether to pass or just take the score.
Depends on who you have? I've got Setterfield, so I'm taking the risk hoping his responsibility is increased with Cripps out and he can eke out an 80+ score.

Playing inside mid this week, I'm happy to take the punt. At worst he probably equals him given his recent scoring.
At worst he would score 25.

To be honest... Watching Carlton and settlefield as an inside mid.. I would take Clarke's score for sure. In open space he can hit targets... But contested he fumbles and handballs straight to the opposition. Would definitely go for Clarke's 63

His clangers when he's in the open hitting the opposition lace out is worse, as an inside mid some contested possessions and tackles might o***et the poor ball use.

This was my line of thinking as well. Get 5-6 tackles and he's already got a solid base to work from before his disposals come into it.

Fairly sure his numbers as an inside mid were solid in the grade below too? I know that doesn't mean a lot, but given he understands the speed of AFL a bit better now (hopefully), he might be better equipped to step up and get through some solid work in the middle.

Easy scapegoat since they've lost. As someone pointed out earlier, he made a couple of costly mistakes which will make the decision to drop him even easier.
I thought he did a pretty good job shutting Heppell down when he went to him. He'll be back...unless he get's omitted.

If I was going to grab a donut, which team is best to pick from I.e. which team has the most Sunday/late round games?
