Still think we will win as they will have used up some petrol to get back in the game.
I'd get Kennedy on to help in the middle...

Wonder if it'll be Cottrell that goes to Daicos? Sidebottom has been terribly outta form this year so hopefully this isn't the week he discovers it again.Big question for me is will Nick Daicos start in the middle as an attacking option or will McRae look to run a negative group to restrict and stifle our midfield and then look to counter attack from half back where they have picked a few options.
On paper we look to have the edge even without Saad, McGovern, Martin, Motlop.....but history shows ladder positions don't usually mean much. If we can bring the pressure that we showed for the majority of that GWS game (apart from 20 minutes of the second quarter), we can win.
Elliott and Mihocek normally dine out us and Sidebottom runs around by himself racking it up. If I see that Ill spew up.Had some poor matchups on these players and non existant opponents on Sidebottom and Josh Daicos who just get on their own continually. I reckon we would have learned a lot from previous games and have better plans to curtail their more dangerous players and I think DeGoey is a major out for them that they cant replace in the middle.
Feels like another late change week?Possibly...hope Cerra is right to play...
Binns and Williams. Cerra and the Cinch.Prof, Id be happy with those changes but I think Williams will be persevered with, hoping the bad press this past week might inspire a better game from him. The out of form and equally under pressure Lachie Schultz might be a good opponent for him...
Mitchell has been a liability this season. Losing him would probably help their chances.They will miss Mitchell, being doing the grunt work alone with Adams gone and he compliments their other mids imho.
I wonder if they’ll bite the bullet and drop Sidebottom 🤔 We’ll probably play him back into form.
Vossy’s response to our profligate play on Saturday suggests that our players will have a hard week. It won’t be “bring your mouthguards” but there will be some honest feedback and clarification of roles and expectations.
How about Cincotta into the backline and Zac goes half forward?Agree on Cincotta, thought ZW might go ok on the wing vs a very out of form Sidebottom, maybe the coach could challenge him with N.Daicos who plays off half back to shut him down..
Thats from 3 years ago yeah.My point being has he improved?
Not a good time (player availability wise) to try and make an example of someone....especially given our month of games.Id replace him with Cincotta.....
I reckon Vossy definitely would've highlighted what Williams did wrong, but done so behind closed doors. I doubt we'll see another one of them in a hurry.
Browny was even more scathing than King.Not wrong...its a fair spray...
We need to start striking blokes softly off the ball. The fines are worth it if you can get a few goals out of it.Knowing our luck there would be a crackdown and one of our blokes would be made an example of and get a long holiday...interesting the Henry hit has been deemed low impact , intentional and body contact yet Zac was holding his head?
