Surely not, SoJ must get midfield time against an otherwise relatively slow inside midfield group that is perfectly suited to develop his characteristics.

I'd like to see Setterfield get a crack resting forward to allow Cripps to stay further out of the forward zone, cut down Cripps kilometers. Keep Charlie out and up the ground as well, he is already covering lots of ground so I don't see any point restricting his movement especially with McGovern out!

I could see SoJ do a run with Ziebell though, that might be a nice match up for us!

I suspect we do not win with too many injuries forcing the changes, but you never know as sometimes these things go the other way simply because you become an unknown to the opposition! But I'm not sure BB as a coach is ready for that, he's not yet got the freedom or earned the right to experiment like Clarkson.

Even with players out we should beat Nth Melbourne who are rockbottom, we cant use injuries as excuses given their poor form and they also have a lengthy injury list.
This is our big chance after the Hawks game to show we are the real deal and put away a bottom team.

This is the type of game where we run teams into form. Norf travelling terribly, their coaches c--- is on the block, enter the Blues and they get a win. Well I want this trend arrested NOW! And I hope our players and coaches want this also and have made a point of it. If they have danced around this issue, we are farked. We absolutely, positively cannot drop this one and I dont care who is out. If we do...

Luckily for us they are going in favourites to win.

X2.

I don't give a *+$! about norf and their problems and that "shinboner spirit" claptrap. We're the better team,  I expect to win,  and I don't want excuses.  Drop this and the burners under Bolton should be switched to high.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Phanto, we're the pantomime villain club.... Rolled out to provide the downtrodden shinboners a desperately needed win.

and probably play Brown into form as well.

If Jones lines up on Brown, and assuming the good Liam shows up, Jones should have him covered easily.

Looking at all the ins for this weekend and still no Kennedy? He must be doing something wrong in the VFL?

And please, surely not bringing Garlett back in? Did he even play in the VFL last week?

Both Lobbe and Phillips named in the extended squad? Maybe cover in case Curnow doesn't come up and Casboult plays permanent forward with Lobbe/Phillips sharing the ruck?

Philips has been injured recently yeah?
Maybe its just a precaution if he doesn't come up.

A must win for us! No doubts, no questions, no excuses.
Reality always wins in the end.

We have 4 awful outs this week, 4 players we really struggle to replace. Hopefully our rucks can control Goldstein, who usually plays well against us. It will be interesting to see what ruck combination we actually come up with.

Hard to see what O’Brien is doing better than Kennedy right now.
