What chance our ex-GWS boys will want to prove a point?

They are good but they aren't that good.

Has anyone noticed the total lack of media time we've had this week? Granted we are not expected to win, but we haven't been expected to win all year. Nothing about the former GWS boys. Just a black hole.
Live Long and Prosper!

I've noticed this as well, we seem to have locked down our media department.

FWIW, CheatsFC have featured on every news broadcast with The ChemiCoach doing more interviews than Graham Norton.

Even at our last home game, Carlton v Norp, they spent 75% of the time discussing Norp.

btw., Given our current level of success, is this a good or bad thing?

Our big chance is that we jump them early with extreme pressure. Hopefully they turn up with their minds already on their week off!! We might just be freshened up from the break, while they are hanging out for theirs, and hoping for an easy game.

Our last 3 games against these guys have been terrible - we have scored 50 odd each time to 120-130. They are a good team, but they have only just beaten Pies and Bombers who we beat, so I pray we can keep them in check early.

We need to match their midfield run and depth and put pressure on them there. I would bring in 2 of Smedts, Boek or Kerridge, and give McCreadie and Fisher a spell - just to give us guys who can put in a 4 quarter hard running effort and give us some transitional options coming out of the backline. Also allows Wright to play forward more where he is most useful.

I would also bring in big H for a debut game. Put Willo on Toby for the day for his education.

If fit I highly expect Daisy to be back and Jones to come in.

Jones is tall enough, strong enough, mobile enough and fast enough to be a real issue for the GWS forwards.

I didn't think I'd ever be pleased to see Liam Jones as an "in" but I'm more than pleased, I'm excited  :)

I hope he gets a run and is under instructions to crunch every GWS player that gets in range.

I reckon Graham, Jones, SPS, and either Thomas or Smedts will fill the bench.

Not a bad side.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Agreed, joke ins, my grannie has more exposed form than Jed Lamb.

If it were me, I would not be playing Lamb or Sumner and I'd be pretty dubious about Daisy Thomas. I'd have brought him back via the VFL after his concussion. But....

Actually he wasn't too bad in the VFL last game, but his run of good form is one game which seems odd given how long it's taken for Jones to get a gig!

Perhaps this selection is papering over some injury concerns.

I think Murphy hasn't looked right for a couple of weeks now, a week off is not always a good thing for old blokes with injuries, sometimes they seize up! :o

Weitering and Plowman both look to be sore and are struggling for form.

Anyway, those four ins need their chance, the two Ciaran's will be putting the heat of plenty of them in the coming weeks. Watch this space!

Good move giving Samo a rest.

Reckon Lamb & Sumner got the nod over Graham owing to speed over the grass and fronting up to their previous club. NG has worked hard but that lack of pace does hurt him, his disposal has improved though he did commit a horrible clanger against the Kangabies. Lamb does bring a little mongrel as well which we like.
