Cuners and Pitto ready too. I'd play Martin obviously and Pitto (Witts will be dogged tired).
Would rest TDK - can't see why we'd play TDK, Pitto and Levi though TDK can obviously play forward too.
Conditions will suit the talls.
Cuners or Honey? Tempted to give Honey one more, Cuners had been ordinary for a few weeks.
Is it Martin for Cottrell (i'd keep him in for his elite running)? Rest Murphy and/or Simmo.

Read somewhere that Simmo will be rested.

If you read the player by player reviews from the reserves game, we wont be seeing Dow, LOB, Philp, Ramsey, Marchy or Macreadie. Owies, Lang, Polson and Moore get good reviews...gulp.

It usually does, but doesn’t seem too bad at the moment.
I was hoping to get back online a bit earlier but my wife dragged me out to dinner ??♂️ But at 9:45pm local it’s 88% humidity and 25 deg.
I think the suns will handle the humidity fairly well, I was amazed at how hard they used to rotate when their seconds played NT Thunder in the NEAFL up here.

Probably has a touch of concussion as well.
36yo, playing the way he does....in the wet....with a ball smacked into his head......and 2 flights.....on a 6-day break....
Yeah, he deserves a rest.

I lived in Darwin for 6 years and 'fondly' remember early on I had a flat tyre before leaving for work. 7am I jack up the car and replace the wheel. 7:30 I peel off my soaked clothes and I'm back in the shower and looking for a fresh set of clothes.
Also played footy up there for 5 seasons. The season is switched around up there and you play in the summer, which is brutal when it's humid. I'd start hydrating the night before, and then all morning before the game, and after the game on a Saturday we'd head to the pub to rehydrate. Most weeks I wouldn't take a leak until 10pm or something stupid like that.
Has been 15 years or so since I was up there, so can't remember how early it starts getting uncomfortable, but I know it gets really nasty the closer you get to christmas. From memory shouldn't be too bad in August. Should be quite nice.

Playing midfield we used to come on for about 6 minutes then come off. A long run at training during the wet was 4 km - I'd come back to Melbourne and peel off 16 km in the dry heat. I used to lose about 3 kg playing.
Once you heat up, you just can't cool down, it's nuts. My eyes used to get all scabby and caked up from the sweat, that was the worst part, you'd hit the showers and your eyes would be burning from the salt. It was hard yakka.

Our next 5 are so winnable. Probably won't get them all but if we get 4 we may then play Brisbane, a toughie, in the last game for a finals spot.
At this time of the week I trust Carlton. As the game gets closer my trust gradually dwindles until the bounce, when trust is all gone...lol.

Could Polson be developing into our Caleb Daniels???
29. Cameron Polson
Cam Polson was one of our better players on the ground again. His ability to run and burst from half back and take the game on was brilliant. His ball use was fantastic: even though there was a bit of space on the ground, he used it really dangerously but his ability to find a target even when under pressure set us up.
