These wholesale changes in the double-Teal will prove the difference

[GWW]

Ryan Williams will apparently be making his debut, in place of Boak who has an injury that will keep him out.

Like you I can only go by reports, but that attitude of P Burgoyne sounds shocking when he has dropped back to the SANFL, completely different to that of Johncock's.

Not sure about Bentley either, he would be delisted if I was in charge.
