While the conditions will be markedly different (and play to GC's strengths) the workrate from Sunday needs to remain.

Once again BV is on the mark. I was surprised in how bad Palmer is and how well White played.
Having said that, if we pick the same team with different conditions, then GC will murder us on the break. The conditions suited our team last week. It evened out the skill between the sides and thankfully we wanted the win more.

Jack Martin has had an excellent start to the season up forward for GC.

Lots of midfield depth with Swallow, Barlow, Lyons, Miller, Hall, Ablett and maybe Hanley returning.

I'll be there cheering the boys on but will save my loudest cheers for my boy playing AusKick at half time.

Reckon I'm more excited than he is.

I suspect they'll want to reward a win by not making any changes, but at Etihad, against a quick side, they should switch it up. It also depends how Weitering pulls up.

No pressure but if he doesnt get 20 possessions there will be somebody in TalkingPlayers on Monday wanting him delisted from his junior Auskick Club!

I think any changes will reflect how the players pull up, it would have been like playing 6 quarters, I'm expecting some tired boys, particularly the younger guys

Why can't the home side (Us) decide if the roof is open or closed?

St Kilda used to decide when to turn on and turn off the sprinklers.

Why can't we also do the sprinkler thing?

According to the injury update Charlie Curnow should be available - I reckon the only change will be Curnow coming in for Palmer.

It's a shame I cant reply in crayon, perhaps you may then grasp the basic understanding.
I based their output around all 3 phases of the game. The ability to win the ball, the ability to deliver the ball and the ability to tackle. In fact I outlined those details in a couple of posts. Every other poster seems to understand it.
The 3 players mentioned were poor in all 3 areas. Perhaps I should be more creative and consider drawing you a picture, or doing an interpretative dance. :grin:

Look forward to when the form of our young, emerging players keeps the ilk of those three out of the side.
And I don't think it's too far away.
