Makes sense McG for SOJ, but who comes out for Williams? Dow? I fear it may be Cottrell, which I think would be unfair. Don't think Stocker will be risked for this one. And remember, our selection committee is extremely conservative... unless desperate or injuries force their hands.

IN: Kennedy, Williams, McGovern (with trepidation)
OUT: Dow, Silvagni, Setterfield

I doubt we drop both Dow and Setterfield, you're basically loading up the pain on Cripps and Walsh against a strongish opposition midfield. As much as they haven't great form, Setterfield and Dow have big enough bodies.

Despite having a good game, I wouldn't be surprised to find Ed on the outer, with Setterfield retained as another option to cover for Plowman if Plowman isn't 100%.

I've noticed a couple of other AFL coaches going horses for courses under these new rules, we haven't yet but I think that it's just a matter of time.

I don't know enough about the replacements for Ports kids to get a bead on the direction to go in. Will they be faster/slower, bigger/smaller, etc., etc..

I'm not so sure about that Baggers.  I think that there's certainly an element of risk aversion, but there's also a fair whack of political awareness in the sense of playing high profile trade-ins and milestone players when their form/fitness may not merit selection ... or am I being too cynical?

Lose this and then lose to the traditional enemy in Essendon and we will be 2-4 down, and back in the shizen stuff.

We've actually got Brisbane after port EB, so we could be 2-4 down even before we play Essenscum.

I'm the other way, looking at 4-2.

Jim, I could see you on the Titanic telling the passengers it was a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday and not to worry as they jumped in the icy waters..😉😎..I'd be happy with 3-3 and Essendon to come...
