We are paying Dow to be on our list, we might as well force him to play a game or 2 to see if its worth it.

I'd go something like this....

Out: Newman, Kennedy, Durdin (all injured) Setterfield, TDK,
In: Marchbank, Dow, Honey, Martin, Newnes

Setterfield keeps his spot at the expense of plowman (same same after last week) and honey misses and wrong ruck got dropped (same same) but otherwise that's about as good as I could hope for.

Just need Kemp as the sub, and we might be half a chance

IMO Kemp is a perfect sub....given he can play multiple positions if required and he's pretty quick too....something that's also handy late in a game.

Dow's past two weeks has been his best all year imo - it was a more balanced team oriented game rather than hogging clearances he is actually balancing his game with tackles and pressure on the ball which is not known to do too much.
Setterfield has been performing very well past two weeks and no reason to drop him. He is named on the wing in front of Cottrell and LOB which is the correct call.

I have a feeling we might win this one.
If we were ever a chance, with the players we have available, i think its definitely our best chance.

Don't be surprised if Setterfield spends some time in the middle field. His bread and butter
is as a big bodied mid and it's where his best form has been in the twos. With Hewett and Kennedy out, we need grunt and muscle around the ball.

Wouldnt call him a coalface mid, his attack on the ball isnt what Hewett and Kennedy's is and thats being kind to him, his senior footy has been better on the wing imho. I'd be having my three best mids in the middle ie Cripps, Walsh and Cerra for as long as possible given the opposition are going to be a level up from the Crows onball division..
We need someone to mind Neale and McLuggage too, bit of a shame Bailey is playing as well, hopefully he is still sore.
We can win this game providing we get our matchups right and provide the same effort or better than Brisbane.....

After watching Collingwood win tonight, let's hope we don't have to beat them to stay in the 8.

Gerard Healy said on SEN that Dow should be given a role: tagging Lachie Neale. Sam McLure pointed out that Dow hasn’t tagged before but Healy didn’t back down.

We might just beat Collingwood because they'll rest all their players because they'll be a game clear on top by then!  :o

Doesn't look like they'll need to beat us to make top 4 any more.

Criticism last week was about going a bit tall.....but Marchbank, Kemp possible inclusions this week? Regardless of their formline, the backline (as named) looks a bit lopsided for mine without Plowman and Newman.....Saad the only real "small" which would suggest he goes to Charlie Cameron.

Similarly, hard to see a forward line with Silvagni and Martin AND TDK.....so either Martin doesn't play or TDK goes out and Silvagni back in as second ruckman.

Plowman (192cm) is omitted and is replaced by Marchbank (193cm).  Newman (186cm) is injured and is replaced by Newnes (184cm).  Our defence isn't lopsided as such, but is undermanned with Newnes and/or our other wingers providing the seventh defender.  That rarely works.

The Pitto/De Koning partnership didn't last and Jack will be back in his third tall/second ruck role.  I'm not sure that works against the better teams but Pitto was painfully short of a gallop last week and needs a couple of games of full on ruckwork in the magoos.

Martin for Durdin (omitted rather than injured) gives us a little more forward firepower provided that Jack is fully fit and switched on.  Martin's strength overhead could be handy given that Kennedy's concussion/jaw creates an opportunity for Dow, who isn't strong overhead.

It's not the strongest 22 we've put on the park this season, and going with only six defenders is a problem.  If we find the intensity that was missing last week, we're in with a chance.

The next man up mantra will be full tested this week, with all of Dow, McGovern, Marchbank, Setterfield, Newnes, Martin and to a lesser extent Weitering having minimal AFL minutes over the last month or so.

That’s roughly a third of the team and given the game is Bris and their squad looks strong, if we were to somehow win this game it will be one of our clubs finest victories of all time.

Hoping for the best, but planning for the worst! Very very tough ask imo.
