Pick the best side every week and plan to beat everyone, if they are ready, they are up for selection. Anyone, anywhere, anytime, we want to beat GWS, StK, CheatsFC and any one else we play.
GTC..I want to win every week too but if your good players are 50/50 only injury wise I think you have to look at the draw and be practical...just my theory.

I think Plowman even if not injured might be the unlucky one to go for Jones and/or Newman if either is ready. If both come in tough call - maybe Stocker to take a step back into the 2s to work on what he has learn't in the 1s? Doesn't deserve to be dropped but someone would have to make way and it's hard to see who else goes.
On Levi in defence I am not sure there is a matchup really for him at the Giants - their tall forwards would be too quick for him IMO.

Watching them against the Hawks...."There's nothing there that we cant handle"

Hopefully Bolton is paying close attention. Double team Cameron (they go to him much too much), force them to the flanks by zoning in the corridor, and hope Mummy and Whitfield are out. I've never seen them look so unskilled.

Good to see we get to do round 8 again after going so close yesterday...lol.

Last time we played them they smacked us in the last qtr 7 goals to 1 with just 16 men at times.
Thinking we've improved on that.

This could get ugly, real ugly. If Mumthug doesn't play we might have a slim chance, emphasis on slim.

Great...Mummy and Whitfield probably back and GWS probably going to be tackle crazy given they didnt lay too many vs the Hawks.
DeBoer on Cripps to be critical, I might include Kennedy this week vs his old mob and give him Kelly or Coniglio to follow around.
