    So how do we beat GWS this week?

    What team selections?
    What tactics at Ballarat?
    What specific match ups?

    Given we?ve won 5 of our past 6 matches against GWS shouldn?t they be trying to figure out how to beat us?

    The only loss was when we were decimated by injuries.

      I guess it was more of a conversation starter without trying to steer it too much.

      So perhaps, last time we met they only had two goal kickers. Greene & Hogan. We could simply say ‘the same’ I guess. But I was thinking more about using Jones on Higan as he’s so important to them or can Lobb do the job and use Jones more offensively? Is Doc the guy for Greene?

      Do we rush Tim back if he’s say 80%? If we play Tim do we stick with Khamis or JOD as both would be overkill.

      Do we make other changes? Gags seems a little behind the pecking order to my eye, I’d prefer Sanders. But do with stick with him?

      Do we stick with the same sub?

      With the wind, do we prioritise run and carry, or contested players especially for the sub.

      Last time we met they couldn’t control Harmes. Who can replicate that role and scoreboard impact?

      They seem to like to tag. If they tag say Bont, do we move him forward more to break it or with the weather/wind is that too many talls?

      These types of questions about the game.

        Don’t think English will play.
        Big ask for Lobb again, hope he is okay.
        We need Darcy down forward with Jamarra and Naughton.
        GWS are very midfield relying.
        Stop Daniel and they will struggle.
        Bring back the biff

          I don't want to see Duryea on Greene. He has beaten Doc everytime we have played them. Who takes Greene? Not sure he is a hard match up. Have to think about it

            Forecast is it is going to be a very windy day.

                The coach has pretty much ruled English out for next week too.

                So there's that.

                  Kick straight.

                  We'll create enough opportunities but unless our conversion improves this will be tough. They're very efficient.

                      Also I hate playing at Ballarat. Wish we'd just play our homes games at, you know, home.

                              I love it. Gives off old fashion suburban feel, with over 90% Dogs fans there
