Dawes MUST come in, along with Ball, Dids, and if Maxy is out, I guess the Sack.

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
It's just eating you up that Maxy's our skipper (and achieved AA selection last year), isn't it Eddie?
Maxwell leads the league in intercepting opposition kicks. We missed him last Monday and will this week too
Also leading the league for most goals conceded and setting a record that will never be beaten for goals conceded per minute actually playing on an opponent

Might be good at intercepting kicks, but he then kicks it straight back to then, would love to see the stat of Maxwell rebounds that end in opposition goals

The more I think about it the more I hope this is the game Jolly dominates.

In Dawes - Out L.Brown
In Wood - Out Fraser
In Ball - Out Barham
In Didak - Out Medhurst
In Johnno - Out Macaffer
In Goldsack - Out Maxwell (inj)

Yes 6 changes is a lot, but I believe those changes make us a lot stronger team. I would like Maxwell in but it's important he gets the calf right and does not rush it.


Send Goldy to Goodes
Can match him in the air and with foot speed.
Heater to O'Keefe & Presti to Bradshaw.
Bolton is out injured so it is imperative we get Roberts Thompsons opponent one out with him. If Cloke or Dawes has Grundy then drag him outside the forward 50.

First 2 changes dont improve the team at all, all of the last 4 though are big improvements with Leon being very lucky to survive the chop

i'm heading up to sydney for this weekend's match. every time i go on ticketek to book tickets it allocates me to a crap region of the ground. for those of you who have been (or live) there, can you recommend a good area of the ground to try and get tickets in? i'll just go to a ticketek outlet somewhere and select some good seats manually

Rusling a chance? He's down as 'test' on the injury list.

Sorry, I'm having withdrawls from no footy.

Don't think we'll see Maxwell for a couple. Goldsack to come in.
Dawes for Fraser
Johnson for McCaffer

Not sure Didak and Ball will come up

If they do then on thin ice are: Wellingham, Lockyer

Jolly to ruck 100% - need run him into form. May look at L Brown out as well. Particulary if Dawes comes in.

Why try and make so many changes - we are in 4th position looking toward 2nd if we win and Stblunda lose - tweak it, don't smash it.

Wanted to find room for Ball / Didak and Johnson but with Maxwell out none of these guys fit the bill... plus I want to keep Brad Dick if we can ... am I asking too much?
I believe:
My mighty Pies will win more than they lose,,
That supporters should do just that ... support,,
My stomach is infact a Pie warmer: just got to work out how to get them back out!

Dick seems to love it in the wet so has to stay in.... no pun intended.

Lets be honest here. Ball, Dids & Johnno all would have been in our team last week if fit anyway, so it really isn't going berserk with changes. 3 of those 6 are just bringing back the changes from last round.

Medhurst worries me, what the hell is wrong with him, he really must get his act together asap.

Medhurst is top five in the AFL and the club for tackles inside our forward arc. Davis is no exception also.
