Really looking forward to this game.

Have enjoyed watching the dees' young team develop this year.

Lots of mouthwatering matchups of elite talent.

Should be a great game I think but one we should win considering we have a bit more development in our blokes than they do.

Big test for coaches and players, can't wait!

A really big game for us. They're a good team who just tanked really well last year.

One of Collingwood or the Dogs will lose so we can't afford to drop this.

Finally a Saturday afternoon game.

ins: waite bower houla

out: thornton anderson & ????

Mine would be

IN: Yarran, Waite, Bower, Houlihan, Armfield possibly
OUT: Browne, Anderson, Thornton, Hadley/McLean (if injured), ????

Will be great to see Waite back in as this is a massive danger game for us. Bower hopefully comes back in aswell.

"GIBBS."

pretty sure bower will miss.
my mail suggests another 1-2.

my ins - armfield (if fit), houla (if fit), Waite
out - anderson, browne, mclean

leave hads in for the inside role, armfield for ando, houla for browne
2 slow inside mids, mclean and hads, is too much loss of pace

The Demons are actually a fairly good defensive side so we will need to be switched on. I'm actually looking forward to having a good look at the Demon kids Not that I want them to do too well but

When is Lucas due back?

Need to smash them hard with nice big tackles early in the game. Let them know we mean business ala the hawks on us.
The rest will take care of itself.

Should be a good game. Hope they close the roof.

no roof at the 'G!

Make no mistake, Dees will be primed for us. They believe this game is a must win for them and will throw everything in it. Our boys need to be made aware and be ready. Will be interesting as we have lost every game the opposition has hunted us so far.

Little doubt they rested Scully & Trengove with our game in mind.

Not sure who will be available for next week however it is nice to have depth with the likes of Waite, Bower, Yarran, Houlihan, Lucas, Armfield, Hampson and Grigg pressing for selection over the coming weeks.

Assuming the worst case scenario with only Waite and Grigg considered fit out of the above players (Hampson probably underdone) my changes would be:

Out
- Anderson
- Browne

In
- Waite
- Grigg

interesting stat.

no team has won in 2010 (the following week) after playing geelong.

Lets just hope Gysberts doesn have a blinder again and McLean doesn be average game again....

Out: Thornton, Ando, Scotland(if inj)

In:Waite, Hoops, Army

I can believe that all geelongs games are very taxing and sides set themselves to compete against the best and have a let down the following week

it is most likely the reason Bailey choose to rest his young guns this week

So many injuries in the mix, might have to wait until the dust settles before changes can be properly conceived. Scotland probably out for a few at the minimum.

Personally I want to turf Anderson & Hadley out of the team first and foremost, but Browne & McLean are not far behind.

Henderson will have to go out of the side for Waite. Grigg, Houla, Yarran, Armfield, Johnson, Hampson, Davies & Kerr all genuinely in the selection mix.

I'm predicting four or five changes as of now.

For mine:

In: Houla, Yarran, Armfield, Waite
Out: Scotland, Hadley, Anderson, Henderson

Murphy Gibbs and Judd play better when Maclean is in same can be said with Hadley
