Yep.
Are we better off picking another batsman at 6?
Does Marsh's value as a bowler trump this?
I think in our current state a batting all-rounder is the preferred choice. However, if Nevill can develop himself into a very solid wicket keeper/batsman then we could have the luxury of picking an extra bowling option perhaps.
Personally I would prefer Nevill bat at 7 because the 6 above him are performing.

If somehow we had a genuine keeper doing that, he could bat 7. Would still be below par, but not so far we couldn't afford it. But no keeper I know of is close to that (or not really a keeper) and he wouldn't command a spot as a front line bowler to bat 8. No doubt it's handy to have a strong bowling option, but 4 main bowlers shouldn't need that much support. An attack of Starc, Pattinson/Cummins, Hazlewood and Lyon should manage 90 overs between them in a day and I think that would be the most aggressive line up we could muster.
Personally, I don't think he's got the ability with the bat. Will be a valuable all rounder in the short forms, but I think he'll get dropped before long from the test side and won't produce enough at shield level to force a return. For now, he's being hidden with Warner, Khawaja, Smith and Voges dominating and Joe Burns doing a good job. But Voges probably has 12 months left, Smith already showing signs that his form is wavering and Khawaja won't be neglecting the inner and outer portions of his blade forever.
