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
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
