Honestly unsure. Our currently listed side has McEvoy at CHB, Ceglar in the ruck. So I assume if Ceglar is deemed not fit, then he'll be a late out come Sunday. I guess the fact they've named him to begin with still shows that we are going to try and go with him as the number one ruck, and McEvoy in defence. Although with the Demons lack of talls, I'm still expecting a late out to occur for Ceglar, with probably Scrimshaw coming in to go across half back with McEvoy to RUC.

Purely a guess this based on our squad selected, but...

IN
Burgoyne
Lewis

OUT
Puopolo/Morris
Patton

Then I'm guessing a late change on Sunday of Ceglar out for Scrimshaw.

EDIT: Also wouldn't be surprised to see both Morris/Puopolo out, and Minchington come in.

@Bermi yeah Ceglar can play forward, not overly well, but he can. I'm not sure we would turn to him playing majority as a forward, and just chopping out in the ruck though if we were to revert to McEvoy rucking. I'd think we'd look towards another genuine forward option, with TOB/Lewis/(Patton) types chopping out.

The above is purely my guess at how things might play out, I haven't heard any more since earlier in the week. The Scrimshaw news of a possible return this week is a surprise (and a good one at that for Hawks supporters). Should I hear any more re. Ceglar throughout the day I will pass it on.
"Ben McEvoy will return to the ruck in Jon Ceglar's absence but Clarkson defended Ceglar's up-and-down form as owing to playing a "bloody hard" position.
Ceglar (toe), Jack Scrimshaw (ankle) and Jarman Impey (knee) could all return next week."
This snippet from Clarko's interview on AFL.com is enough for me to hold Ceglar

Ok I have to decide whether to take nobles 62 or through dpp with others a choice of Serong, Pickett, Buda or Starcevic? I'm thinking in todays climate 62 isnt too bad against that lot. I will have to take at least 2 of that lot including noble. Opinions of which order they should go?

I'd probably take it. 62 isn't terrible given what Starcevich has served up recently. He might go well, but realistically, you're only missing out on 15-25 points max.

I have copped so many 20s and 30s from rookies of late. I’d take a 60 odd and run!

Budarick vs Starcevich on-field?

Whoever I don't choose I can still loop with Bennell

The average score of my on field rookies this year ...
R1: 66
R2: 71
R3: 106 (Best 18 & Rowell distorted this)
R4: 63
R5: 60
R6: 51

You can see the way it’s trending I would definitely lock a 62.
