Darling is 191 and strong, Houston is 187 and not, Hartlett is 185 and could compete strength wise and DBJ and Pittard are taking Le Cras and Jetta.

I think Houston then goes to Redden and Hartlett will get Darling...not ideal really.


This is the no.1 selection dilemma for Ken.
Win? What selection dilemma...
Lose? Should have played Trengrove...

have to say i havnt taken much notice of any late changes this year, but i know last year when i used to get the selection mail it was always as i was given. Maybe Ken has woken up and started using coaching tactics and strategies, who knows might even introduce a game plan next year, this bloke could be worth perservering with

The longer i thought about it this week, the more i was convinced it would be only the 1 change....

No surprises to me. Thought we would go smaller in defence and try and run them off their feet. I think it could work if we get as much of the ball as what we have in the past against WCE this year. If we lose the midfield battle, we are F****d, but pretty confident we will win in the middle and should get the W. Nervous but confident

Sam Mitchell looms large too. Doesn't play well against us usually as I think he flinches at the uniform thinking Kane Cornes is still playing.

If he works out that we're actually really susceptible to a good inside/outside midfielder and starts winning clean clearances, with their forward line and our defense we could be in serious strife.

Not confident at all the more I look at it actually.

Ryder has Vardy and Petrie to contend with, I expect to get first look at it more often than not.

Mitchell and Priddis v Wines and Ebert inside, with the likes of Shuey and SPP as support roles.

I'm looking at our skipper, Ryder and Ebert to be influential tomorrow night. Boaky has been building a nice body of work the last 4 weeks and is back covering ground through the middle. While Wingard was out he had to play high half forward and that didn't suit him, now he's back in the midfield rotations he's looking much more like the leader we know.

Nah, no chance. Clurey will get first dibs at Kennedy. He's taken the best forward all year.

You're not usually this chirpy until late on a Sunday full of gas.

Last time we met, how did that turn out?

And then when Kennedy has 3 before half time, Howards turn.

Clurey takes the bigger bodied, Howard takes the tall.
