Didnt look good whch ever way you look at it, not often Jim sooks up about anything, might add if he has done his knee hes one tough unit, by the way he reacted to it even on the stretcher he just went about his business

Ahhh forgot about the Blake yes he maybe ideal, bakes not sure where he is at career wise but i am sure he wouldnt replace Jimmy. Simpkin? well i dont personally think so ,but i am not the Boss, Then theres Tommy, been doing everything asked of him and more.
Tommy has been playing alot of footy down back, i guess its learning to read the game. Hes had a run in the ruck and now hes playing forward. The Suns game would be a great debut for him. The more i think about the more i think The Blake will get a recall.
Surely Lynch plays for Jimmy. He was unlucky to be out and can play down back and probably play a similar role to Jimmy. He deserves a game before Walsh I would have thought.
Like for like either Simpkin or Lynch would be best replace Gwilt. But most likely Blake will get the call. However from a run out of defence perspective Walsh and Winmar.
Lynch would be the most obvious because he can kick accurately and is more rebounding. Walsh would be more a Fisher replacement as would Simpkin. Johnson has the bigger build than Lynch but has been forward all year, Smith seems forgotten after his early games. Geary and Eddy may also get a chance if the others don't perform.
