Miles should be in the emergencies.

God I hope this team pulls off a win. I would feel more confident with Bolton or Miles in but I guess the basking in a team which has tasted a win in September.

Stiff for Miles to not even be named as an emergency

Quite amazing Jack Graham is playing well enough to stay in the team .

His 4th game is a Prelim ......poor old Chris Newman had to wait 232 games to play a final .

Love Graham - hes going to be another beast .... his body already lacks nothing compared to Dusty .

I doubt they think they'll cruise through us.

But I wouldn't mind if that's their mindset going into tomorrow.  :shh

Devon Smith looks set to come in as a late change for GWS, ahead of its preliminary final clash against Richmond at the MCG.

Smith - the travelling emergency - hasn’t played since the club’s Round 23 loss to Geelong at Simonds Stadium.

But his pace and running capacity may work in his favour in receiving a recall, with the Giants vigilant of Richmond’s mosquito fleet.

One of GWS’ talls looks poised to lose his spot, with SEN reporter Sam McClure saying Harrison Himmelberg was the most vulnerable.

“I just wonder if it’s possible that Adam Tomlinson is the player sent to play on Alex Rance to play a defensive forward role ... that would mean that Himmelberg would be the one to go,” McClure said.

Melbourne champion Garry Lyon said he wouldn’t be surprised if Himmelberg was dropped because of his less than satisfying performance as a negating forward on West Coast’s Jeremy McGovern last weekend.

“He did an okay job, but he didn’t nail it,” Lyon said on SEN.

“Tomlinson is a great athlete and maybe he demands the footy a little more.”
