Let's win this one, and the following game against the Suns.






Please.

Guess Martin will be out
Docherty looks like a man that is need of rest

So, in Dow and they’ll probably play Lang as a last look at him

At this stage my changes would be:

In
Dow
McKay

Out
Martin (inj)
Pittonet or Casboult (stiff - but we need to get games into TDK)

I would like them to find a spot for O'Brien however doubt we will have more than a couple of changes.

No need to have another look at Lang, we've seen enough. Would much rather give O'Brien or Honey an opportunity.

He wasn’t bad but I wonder if he’s feeling the pinch a bit. First season back after 2 years out and what should be getting close to the end of a normal season.

In Harry
Out Martin

We went in 'small' against WC due to the expected weather.

We all know what is going to happen
tight first ten minutes then we go in at 1/4 time with a two goal lead
We will get the first goal in the 2nd quarter giving us a 3 goal break
Levi will then mark the ball 35 out on a slight angle and miss everything - ball will go coast to coast and goal Freo
Next centre bounce Cripps will be held off the ball they win the clearance ball hits the deck a Cerra will fake a head high tackle - goal
Ball in dispute for about five minutes ball will go forward Simpson or SPS will be pinged HTB about 45 out on an angle - Plowman will mouth off and there will be a 50 - scores level
Cripps will then try take on 20 Freo players turn the ball over - Goal other end
Jones will take a great mark then decide to switch to a 3 on 1 in the middle turn over goal
Cripps moves forward takes the mark in front of the pack 30 out directly in front - misses
From the kick in ball goes coast to coast - goal

Game over just playing out for time

Docherty has not played well since he got tagged.

Don't know if he was tagged yesterday, but he was ordinary TBH

I wonder if a run through the middle or even forward might free him up a little.

Looks tired to me. Coming back from two knees would be hard enough without the additional pressure of captaining the side and being tagged

Lets hope things change this week.

We might not have Naiffen "Cheats" Williamson umpire for some relief....or even better, he is relegated to a lower league still in lockdown

Maybe. Possible.

Doesn't look tired to me. Maybe the ball isn't bouncing his way.

Only played 9 games since lockdown.

Russell should know

Not bad, lacking a bit of imagination though. You have to find at least one new way for the umpires or our own players to screw things up. Like Murphy suddenly rediscovering his inner beast and laying a monster tackle that puts the player out for the season with a double shoulder dislocation. That player being... Patrick Cripps.

I notice the Cats have started resting players. Even though we've got injuries is it time for us to consider the following

Doc
Eddie
Pitto
Levi
