The way Sullivan, Nick, Crisp are getting the ball out from clearances, I'd play Jordan as a part-time forward! Ease him back into that bulldozing midfielder he has become

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the task can be broken down to small components.

Five goals total between Hill, Schultz, McInnes.
Supplement with one goal each from Cox and Cameron.
Another 7 to 8 goals total from : Lipinski, Crisp, De Goey, Sullivan, Richards, Pendles, Nick Daicos, Josh Daicos and WHE.

If we get to between 13 and 15 goals, we should be able to hold them to less.

The return to form of Moore and Quaynor down back and Frampton's career-best form give me greater confidence in our capacity to restrict oppositions' scoring.

I don't think Quaynor is back to anywhere near his best on the back of two okay games Lad, let's hope he finds his best tomorrow or Rankine could get off the chain and cause us major headaches.
The rest of the analysis is spot on as it was last week and provided the goals come from our makeshift forward line it should put us into a position to kick a winning score. The only difference this time is that cows midfield is much better than wet toast so we will likely score less from centre clearance and give our forwards less opportunities. I think Jordy will be the telling factor if he can dominate in the centre and burst through and snag a few goals then it might be enough to get us across the line in a very tight contest which will likely be less than a goal difference when the final siren blows.
Go Pies!

JDG up forward makes sense. Anyone heard anything official about the sub as Fly tends to reveal it a day or two before.
I love the Pies, hate Carlscum

The sub is usually announced 1 hr before the game. My guess is it will be Harrison.

I think Harrison a late 'Out' with Ed Allan to come in as Substitute.
Either way, Ed Allan will be on the plane to Perth next week.

Pies by 17 points.

If HH is a late out, I think it will be Kreuger who comes in.

Notch up a decent win and adding 4% or more could give us the 4th best percentage in the top 8.
And the most pleasing of all, Carlton would be out of the 8.
