Hogan out. Do we match up better with Riccardi?

As much as Hogan is no match winner they seem to play better with him in so I prefer him out.
One less tall we have to worry about.

I hope you're right EB; we've certainly stacked our 22 with midfielders.
It's hard to see any team matching Cripps, Walsh, Kennedy, Cerra and Hewett and then we have Fisher and Carroll spending time in the midfield. "Deadly" Motlop has been playing in the midfield in the VFL as well.
I think that our strategy will be about winning the centre bounces and stoppages, stifling GWS's forwards with a swarming defence and creating multiple scoring options through precise inside 50s and manic pressure inside 50.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the game unfolds ... and I'm quietly confident.

Still think we can win and win well, interesting seeing ex Giant Dylan Shiel perform tonight for Essendon, we dodged a bullet there and his coach when asked about Shiels lack of effort/poor attack on the ball was scathing by his silence. Much happier we saved our dollars for Cerra and Hewett....

I wasn't too upset when Shiel chose Essendon over us.
I listened to Phil Davis on the wireless today. He had a lot of good things to say about Leon Cameron but the impression I got was that Cameron pampered his players rather than challenging them to be their best. They are unbeatable when things are going their way, bullies when the opposition is weak, and invisible when the pressure is on.
We're certainly up against it with McKay and Young out, but GWS only has two wins this season and they have been pumped by ordinary teams.

Cottrell confirmed as Sub.
Pretty small bench, LoB, Newman, Owies and Kennedy, I suspect Kennedy might start FF and SoJ FP with Motlop on the bench to start.
