I'm leaning this way this morning. Cottrell or Hollands? Drop Cotters. Hollands provides run and more pressure on the contest.
Williams doesn't look 100% fit to me.

I'm not sure if overrated is the right word, but for a team with dominant rucks they aren't dominant.
I think they link up well by handball rather than rushing kicks forward that gives them time, space and perceptive speed.

Connor MacDonald and Ward go allright too and dangerous around goal, but yeah, that Hardwick has x factor. I expect him to be swung forward and Newman to do the job.

I think I prefer Acres to Hollands. They can both run but Acres is stronger physically and I think we missed that. I'll put up with a couple of Acres moon balls OOBOOF.

Next question is Moir vs Ison. Perhaps Moir is worth a shot, but neither are game changers.

Go Blues

The build up to this game this week is going to be.......exciting. I've got to make myself busy during the week. A few long lunches on the cards. A few catch ups in town. A bit of gardening.....I've never submitted my BAS or Income tax on time.....I don't bite fingernails. ...Might go for a drive and buy a bunch of pullets as cover for the potential bird flu season.

I am so excited for the next 2 games. Huge.

Just to watch Collingwood win in a close encounter due to some individual brilliance from Naicos.

Watson is their key. Need a hard tag and whoever it is must stay with him off the packs and not get drawn into the contest.
Very much like Naicos. They both play 3 meters outside the packs. I’d consider Cowan.

That's if Watson actually plays. He, Amon & Impey are tests.

Cotters to HF. Give him a defensive role.

This is not the game to try Moir again, can't risk him going missing for three quarters. Make him beat down the door until at least the GC game.

Cotters won't disappoint two weeks in a row, and if given a specific role to do, you know he will execute it.

I'm taking a dad & son to their first ever AFL game. From Singapore, migrated here years ago & chose Carlton through Fev & Juddy - but have never been to a match. What a choice for a first game

I've already loaded up the lad with merch bondi. You'd be proud of me

I'm not suggesting we throw Ison in the bin. :p

There's no shame in having a spell in the magoos. Look what it's done for young Billy. Acres too.

Market down here is asking for near enough $50 a chook. If you can find them.

Old mate up the road is giving bantams away. cauliflower of things they are. Birds, not chooks. Eggs are alright, if you don’t mind climbing trees or getting up on the roof.
