The first time we played them last season was probably there best performance for some while against us.

We only led by 3 points at 3/4 time before going on to win by 23pts.

The return match saw us run out comfortable 41 point winners.

Get it right at the selection table and I expect us to record another comfortable victory.

Out: Fraser, Barham, L Brown, Lockyer, Maxwell (if inj.)

In: Dawes, Ball, Didak, Goldsack, Wood.

We should beat them in a canter.... unless MM decides that Fraser, O'Bree, Lockyer, Johnson and the rest of the dud brigade is the way forward.... then we'll lose by 10 goals.

In: Ball, Didak, Goldsack
Out: Barham, Lockyer, Maxwell

Should win by 10+ goals, feeling more confident about this game than any other game so far this year, just something about atleast 1 likely change that improves the side by 5-6 goals

Didak and Ball instantly make us a 5 goal better team IMO

The Sack will come in and with his one percenters he'll make us roughly 5 percent better. I think we'll win by 3 points

i reckon lockyer was quite good last week, and TBH, it was only an ordinary game from him, IMO he's in our best 22, ditto johno, wellers,caff need spelling IMO.

It's just eating you up that Maxy's our skipper (and achieved AA selection last year), isn't it Eddie?

I'd hope so, since we are flat-out kicking 5 goals some weeks.

Maxwell leads the league in intercepting opposition kicks. We missed him last Monday and will this week too

Johnson? Are you serious? We know all you bag the other players mentioned but dont bring Johnson into this - he's had a great year. Beg to differ??

Correct weight there fuzz. Johnno's inclusion would have won us the Melbourne game no doubt. I'm assuming Ball will need another weeks rest, so my changes would be:

Outs: Fraser, Maxy (inj), McCaffer, Barham

Ins: Dawes, Goldy, Dids, Johnno

If Ball is available then I'd drop Tarks.

You have to get Johnson, Ball and Didak in there.

I'd also like to see Dawes and potentially Goldy in place of the Caff (or Maxwell if injured)

Those on the chopping block include:

Barham
Macaffer
Leigh Brown
Lockyer
Wellingham
Fraser

Wellingham and Lockyer I'd prefer to keep in if possible. Lockyer because he had a good game against Melbourne and is one of few with decent footskills...and Wellingham for pace and we need him to return to his best form.

It's what we do with the rucking situation that will interest me. I think its time to trial the 1 ruck with Dawes or Cloke backup.
