GC emergencies - T Berry, Chol, Constable, Sexton

Do we view Constable as the most likely sub of those four?
Definitely not in my opinion.

They've had Fiorini and Sexton as subs so far, as well as Berry playing limited mins in pre-season game (effectively a sub)

I'd say 45% chance Sexton, 35% chance Berry, 20% Constable. Only 20% becuase maybe they view Powell returning from injury as some risk, or even potentially want to sub him off in Q4 if no injuries.

Constable doesn't seem the type of impact player I would put as sub, or that GC have put as subs so far this year. :unsure:

Not even. He's more your 3rd tall.

My concern with Cameron this week is that Nank will be too physical for him and just a better ruckman in general. He shouldn't disgrace himself at all but I can't see Cameron putting up a monster score. I can see Shrek doing it though.
Actually, I think McStay will do more ruck work than Ash Johnson. McStay did ruckwork at Brisbane.
By the way, who is Shrek, Googling didn't find anything :D, I'm guessing it is McStay.

Lachie Weller comes back from an ACL after only 9 months, surely couldve given Constable a little more time to settle in! Weller looked sharp and quick last week, still running hard in the last when i tuned in dont see Constable coming back too soon. Those donuts can gather quick on the bench!

Yeah this. Even if he is named sub, doesn't mean he will get game time (even though the odds are stacked against this scenario as injury is not required to use the sub - can be a strategic sub).
I'm planning on risking it as well but if he does get named sub I'll throw Chesser on instead. At least he's going to get a full game, or most of one!
