Cottrell has to come back and I guess they'll bring back SPS. Polson out, but I'd give Dow another week. Maybe Cripps gets a rest too? Kennedy in for him I suppose and maybe Owies to be the next try.... While Pittonet would be a descent contest against the big thug that is Mumford I'd be tempted to rest him and just use the TDK/Levi combination. TDK should be instructed to run the thug off his feet. Exploit him. This game will be won or lost in the middle as most of them are.Like that

Well, are we still trying to make finals or planning for next year?
Pittonet has to play. Mummy specialises in smashing us, he dreams at night of hammering some wide open little bloke like Murphy. Nup, give him a large body to worry about. Over that thug lording over us.
But agreed, one of TDK or Casboult, not both.
Cottrells hard running and intensity is another I think adds to us, and Kennedy has enough runs on the board this year to get a game, especially as I'm not convinced Cripps will play. I'd be tempted to give Betts a week off "managed" (for Owies and/or Honey) and I'd give Simpson the week off as well if we had a bloke who could cover him.... O Brien?

This week will test what we are really made of. How do we bounce back from a "finals like" loss?

Back to one ruck this week. Casboult plays much better as a forward/ruck than he does as a forward alone. He taper in form has coincided with the playing of 2 rucks. If he gets a run in the ruck, getting his hands on the ball, he carries that confidence when he goes back forward.
x100.

Kennedy back in for Polson although the apparent "2 game min rule" may save Polson this week but if they are honest, he would be omitted. IF Gov is ready straight in? Simmo needs a rest, maybe Murph as well. Gibbons needs a run in the 2s IMO, output has been ordinary the last month (last week was ok). Agree Cripps needs a spell but it won't happen unless he is hurt. Cunningham? Cottrel? Owies? Lots of questions at the selection table this week, 4 game turn around. Knowing the MC it will be "No Change".
Like to play TDK then, of course, Mummy is their ruckman.
Win Thursday and we are in it up to our ears again so we will be picking our best side, or our best "fresh" side. After all, Sydney and Adelaide are next. 4 day break won't help us though. If we had a 6 day break it'd be 50/50 and we'd be a huge chance. 4 days, tough.

I realise De Koning might hurt GWS around the ground, might, but you have to stop Mumford beating up on your mids. Outside of the hitting and tackling Mumford doesn't contribute much at all.

If Plowman gets the job on Greene then I'm joining Bet365 and putting money on Greene for 3 Brownlow Votes.....Stephenson made him look putrid yesterday and Greene is a class above Stephenson. He will tear us apart and not sure we even really have a match up for him....maybe Williamson gets a crack at him?

Need to damage deBoer and get him off Cripps...another lean day for the skipper coming up unless Teague and Barker can think their way through it.
