Weiters and Walsh the skippers for Sunday - yes.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It seems primed for that with Newman and Williamson in the squad.

Absolutely. Crazy not to release Stocker to the midfield (Newman back pocket). Williamson to rotate off the wing with Newnes.

Happy Cripps is being rested / managed. About 8 weeks too late, but anyway.

Yep...over due and I think it will give us a different look and might help our defensive efforts having a fitter body in the middle
who can chase and run both ways.

Could prove a little embarassing actually?
Reality always wins in the end.

Thinks its on the coaches to explore a new role for Cripps where he spends time in the middle as well as down forward.
It might help the team develop other players as well as preserve Cripps,  and keep him healthier...
When you have a big game of course you could give him more time in the middle but vs lesser teams I'd be wanting to build the midfield with other players and experiment with Cripps forward. Fyfe has made that switch and Freo have had to invest more in Brayshaw, Cerra, Serong etc with old man Mundy there in reserve if it goes South.

I was thinking that we may not miss him as much as we may anticipate.

I agree, his output has been down and you always have the worry what his opponent is doing and clubs have learned to man him up at the clearances then tell their player to get on their bike and run off him.
He isnt the main man anymore with Walsh taking that mantle and its time to find a new Cripps and give others more responsibility and we might be better off and the scary thought of him missing and being so reliant on him may not be so scary after all.

Same old, same old..... Cottrell, Fisher, Williamson, Newman on the bench. 

Williamson and Newman did OK last game and Cottrell always gives 100%.  I'm not sure how Fisher is a walk up start, particularly as Honey has been in good form for most of the VFL season.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Been tagged the last few games, I think Adams who plays it hard will pick him up at the stoppages then might swap with
another player
