Hopefully they will be cautious with Hayward knowing they have either of the top 2 spots sewn up. Rowbottom still likely to be out as well? Maybe a good time to play them up there.
    Yeah god damn it, I?m starting to believe.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      Team looks pretty settled atm. Sydney's 3-headed monster up forward always challenges us. I still have nightmares from Jamara's debut game when Amartey had a party. Perhaps JOD gets a look but I'm not sure who he would replace. Surely you don't risk Jones at his age by bringing him back early. Can't wait to see the shape down back when he is back. Depth is good. Exciting times.

        JOD is out for at least another week or 2 with a hammy. Keath is the only available tall but I'm guessing we probably back in Coffield to play on one of their talls.

          Amartey has been beyond average lately...any chance he is left out this week??
          What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

              Well they might have been tempted to bring Sam Reid in, but he just retired.

                You would think Sheldrick is a chance to come in (29 and a couple of goals) and play mid with Heeney spitting forward?

                I don't think a top side will tolerate performances like those Amartey has been dishing up...enough will be enough at some point.

                  Unless we are confident that Jones is available I'm okay with matching our boys from last against theirs.

                    Be interested to know how the boys pulled up after a taxing game as that will play a part in selection.

                    Understand where in good touch so only need to tinker around the edges to match the opposition by bringing in a bit more pace.

                    In: Jones (if available), Garcia, Baker

                    Out: Coffield (if Jones comes in), Macrae, Sanders

                        Not a chance. Didn’t he kick 3 first quarter goals against us earlier in the year ? He’s that average player who can turn it on on his day. Who did he kick 9 against some weeks ago ? All those back men should’ve retired immediately

                          Update this afternoon on Sydney. Papley and Rampe definiltey out. Hayward will probably play.

                          Tom Papley
                          Tom sustained a medial ankle ligament injury against Brisbane. He will likely miss 4-6 weeks.

                          Dane Rampe
                          Dane sustained a low grade calf strain in the 2nd quarter of Sunday?s game against Brisbane. He is expected to miss 1 ? 2 weeks of football.

                          Will Hayward
                          Will?s lateral ankle injury sustained in the match has recovered well. He will be a test to play against the Western Bulldogs this Sunday

                                If we have all shoulders to the wheel, a la the last weeks, we win. Big game from English and the usual suspects in the midfield, combined with max pressure from our forwards to lock the ball in is the recipe for victory.

                                Oh, and let's kick straight too!
