If impossible to make the top 6, I'd like to see some of the less tried players given a start. Foremost Loke, who IMO has shown real talent. At the start of the season, I said Payne might be in decline, and Loke would press him for a start. But one misstep, and he's dropped from the squad. He can beat a man, is quick, skilful, and unlike other right backs, rarely passed the ball into touch or to the opposition. Deserves another look.
Also Cassidy, whom many seem to rate, and Munro. Neither's had much game time and it'd be interesting and useful, for next season, to see what they're like. Less so Supyk, GSR, and Smith.

For sure you'd hope Greeny gives a few of the young players a run next week against MAC, if the Nix are yes finally 100% out of playoff contention.

But if the Nix win tomorrow, and Melb City lose to the Roar, then it will still be game on against MAC, and you play your best side in Sydney.

Noting the Nix v MAC is next Friday, and MC host Adelaide next Sunday.

Also from an AWs perspective we want Payne playing the next few weeks, leading into the WC.
