As a selector,what players would you drop for this weeks preliminary matches ? Why ?

Bulldogs - Not sure

Pies - No Change

Cats - Drop Lonergan for Mackie, the fact being i think that Mackie provides more run from half back and he is a better player than Lonergan.

Saints - No Change

I'd drop Blake from Geelong and try and fit Mackie back in the side, they need to be quick over the ground this week and Mackie will definitely ad some run to the defence of Geelong.

Bulldogs - Drop Hooper (Morris could return)

Magpies- It doesn't really matter who they drop (so much depth)

Cats- Drop Blake, use Hawkins as second ruck-man. Bring in Mackie (They need more runners this week)

Saints - Thinking about dropping Dempster (Baker is more experienced, worried about fitness though)
