I love the inclusions. Inevitable. Pity the weather is not condusive for TDK high marks, but we will get to see his spring against Nic Nat at times. |

Weather update: Still utter shit. Been pissing down non stop for around a couple of hours. Won’t be subsiding. And I’m the runner for my sons U18 side. Pray for me. And the Blues of course. |

Interesting Murphy has not been selected in the first 18. Today all smalls should flourish if they work hard. Going to need to lay a lot of tackles today. Everyone. We win the tackle count and it will go a long way to help us win this game. A good day for Murphy to show us he's still got plenty to offer. |

Interested to see what the positional changes are. Three forwards have gone out and one comes in (TDK). Fisher can play at half forward but I hope to see him up the ground. Cottrell has been playing half back and wing in the 2s. Does he play back and allow SPS to play up the ground? Also possible that Kennedy is sent forward to provide a target? A lot of options. We will find out. I rate these guys as close to the best in the competition, especially on their home deck. We will need to make this a low scoring grind and take our opportunities to win. Best of luck to Cottrell on debut and TDK back after 2 years absence. Go blues |

Best of luck to Cottrell on debut and TDK back after 2 years absence. Go blues Incredible situation and challenge going to Perth with our first 4 tall forwards out injured. Harsh injury toll on the team, once again. Charlie Curnow Harry McKay Jack Silvagni Mitch McGovern Today we have in their place: Levi Casboult Tom DeKoning the other has to be Kennedy. Today's conditions are going to suit a shorter forward line. But need the harder bodies, unless we can get it open and the ball bounces our way. These guys MUST produce goals and forward pressure for 4 quarters. Betts Martin Fisher Gibbons Its not muddy but wet and slippery. It will take its toll. Have to win it in the midfield. Casboult and pittonet should wax today Big forwards negated by the wet. Cripps Ed Curnow Walsh these conditions will suit our mids too, and and they have to go 4 quarters Midfield rotations will be important. Support will rely on: Setterfield Kennedy Newnes Murphy Fisher Martin Gibbons We can win this. That's easy to say whilst ignoring the big names of the west. 4 quarter effort. That's what they need to do, then the rest we rely on the Footy Gods. Umpires wont help, having said that maybe ... Blues by 4 points. Weagles going in too tall. Hopefully...and the footy gods Go Blues |

Kennedy might be our match winner He loves it in the wet, which has been every 2nd weekend for past 6 weeks |
