Next up against the Suns on the Coast.

Obviously will be another hard match as the Suns are continuing to improve and they have had an extra days rest from their rivalry clash.

Bit of inside knowledge as well with Hinkley obviously knowing the Suns boys pretty well and Primus having a bit of an idea of our squad although it has changed immensly since he left us last year.

Changes this week??

Obviously Mitchell is an out and possibly Paul Stewart due to injury.

Saw a picture on his Instagram and he has had a knee brace on all day.

Guys to come in, well there's a long list of them for the first time for as long as I can remember.

Gray, Cassisi, Butcher, Moore, Colquhoun, Redden and Thomas just to name a few.

So if Stewart is unfit these would be my changes.

Out: Mitchell, P Stewart
In: Gray, J. Butcher

Would be tempted to give Butcher the Subs vest and have him let loose in the second half with plenty of energy as I see him as another Westhoff where he is able to play all over the ground.

logan and thomas would have to be up there with a inclusion. logan having 29 touches 12 marks and 3 goals would probably see him in front. it's a good position to see when you have trouble trying to select a side.

Forget about who should come in. The selector's dilemma is who misses out?

Im not really sure about the decission to drop Redden Last week and Play Renouf, i was impressed with Redden early in the year and i dont think renouf is much chop, also i think the more games we get into Redden the better he will be and again IMO Lobbe and Redden are the future, Not Renouf

Out- Mitchell
In- Gray

We cannot afford to get complacent now, and I dont think Hinkley will shy away from that fact this week.

We have a huge opportunity to be 5-1 after the 1st 6 (possibly even 6-0 if we can upset west coast), and these sorts of opportunities can not go to waste given the tough games we have coming up after north melbourne.

Lobbe has really impressed me so far this year, especially with his work around the ground. Our last goal against the Crows where the ball ended up in our forward line with no Crow in sight was all down to Lobbe, firstly his long left handed handball to HH I think it was which lead to Westhoffs brilliant sliding effort, the ball then rebounded to Lobbe who picked it up and roosted it 50m to two of our players near the goals with no opposition.

Good call PAFC. He and Westhoff have got huge tanks for big fellas!

Both are depth players this year, and will only play when we have a larger injury list.

Ins- Gray and Cassisi
Outs- Mitchell and Stewart

Obvious key to their side is Gaz, and if Kane Cornes can minimise his effect going forward and our midfield works hard at stoppages, I think we will come away with the points.

Gray is a great inclusion opposed to their inexperienced defence- he, monfries, wingard and neade should run rings around them I hope.

I expect Renouf and Lobbe to workover Smith, which will allow the likes of Boak, Ebert and co significant ball in the latter stages of the game when our improved fitness runs over the top of them.

Huge must for Trengove and Carlisle to get some confidence up against May, Day and Dixon. They certainly need to as there is Kennedy, Darling and Cox awaiting them next week.

Port by 37 points.

This will be a good contest up there and we might have a small drop after the big win last week.Look foward to this one as I think GC are building nicely with their midfield being very competitive, its their "bookends" that are letting them down, same as GWS.

I like Gray and Cassisi back in, Dom should join Heath and Stevenson in a rotation across half back and I would expect Gray to be the sub, although named in the starting 18. Wait for the heat to go out the game and introduce him.

Renouf and Lobbe need to take control of this one in the centre and around the ground. Renouf impressed me last week with his efforts, I think he knows he is running out of opportunties to secure a spot and I want to see him do more around the ground this week against the younger GC ruck brigade.

Schulz to kick a bag, Boak to get plenty of it and Port to win our fourth straight by 48 points.

I hope they keep Cassisi out of the backline as much as they can, I'd rather see him across half forward, with occasional stints on the ball.

This clash may turn out to be a bit tougher than a lot of people expect.

I hope we can continue the momentum though.

Danger game for us.

I'd just take the win by 1 point or 80 points just want the win.
