Fmd our midfield looks crapola at the moment.

Probably the GWS strong point too. Gonna have to make sure we capitalise at the book ends

I probably wouldn't say crapola. More like young, inexperienced and unknown. One thing is for sure it probably the first time this year we have had our best backline available.

GWS a tall side lacks height that side for me.

[Diocletian]

Very bad sign for Ross getting dropped while virtually the entire midfield is missing..not sure on the need for Mansell with Grimes & Vlastuin both back in...Baker more time in the guts and/or forward perhaps?

Cantkickit continues to be the luckiest little spud in the history of football....

Reckon Hardwick's being a bit arrogant with ruck situation...either that or he simply doesn't trust the back ups despite what he might say publicly....

[WilliamPowell]

Will interesting to see who is the medical sub.

Reckon it will be Ross or Caddy

But Caddy hasn't played for weeks so it's a risk

Won't be MRJ

5 changes for GWS.

No Mumford but they are playing two rucks albeit young ones (Flynn & Briggs).

They are also going taller with Hogan in at FF.

Disappointed with just two changes and still the small forwards walk away immune from consequences and talls are over looked.

[WilliamPowell]

Ross obviously the medi sub

Not playing in the VFL game
