If you take the named centre lines and followers from last week's games, they read:
Freo: Fyfe, Mundy, S Hill, Cerra, Crowden
Other Mob: Gaff, Yeo, Masten, Shuey, Sheed
Guys like Fyfe and Mundy (and Neale for that matter) are great at winning the ball, but they are not the elite runners that West Coast have; and guys like Cerra, Crowden and Brayshaw are still building their tank being in their first season. The trade-off for West Coast picking runners would normally be that they lose the clearnaces, but NicNat can both ruck and disrupt at ground level, meaning they can get enough clearances to feed into their elite run-and-spread.
Having B Hill back in would help us a great deal, but one question facing the selectors is whether to pick more runners, or make sure we have coverage in the ruck to make sure West Coast doesn't get on top at the clearances when Sandi needs a spell.
I don't know which way I'd go.
