The problem is that we often start slowly, have lapses during the game, rarely play without passengers, don't plan to stop the opposition's best players and are slow to counter opposition tactics.BANG!
If we can address those issues, we should win by three goals ?

And there you have it. Totally deserved the huge font from GTC. I also confess to a belly laugh at your final line. Yep, 3 goal win, or more, just as long as we................................

There's no reason why we can't win Baggers. In fact, we should win ... but it will take more than Elon Musk's satellites lining up for that to happen.

Potential ins for the Port game : McGovern, Williams. The wording of the article doesn't make it clear whether Stocker is a good chance or not.

Makes sense McG for SOJ, but who comes out for Williams? Dow? I fear it may be Cottrell, which I think would be unfair. Don't think Stocker will be risked for this one. And remember, our selection committee is extremely conservative... unless desperate or injuries force their hands.

A lot might depend on Plowman, if he is out I can well see McGovern getting a D50 role curtail Dixon, and as such with three relatively mobile KPPs you keep one of Jones, McGovern and Weitering free to intercept.

Late to the party.....our coastline smashed by a cyclone on Sunday night....including up around Cripps' family farming area...been without power for 3 days!!!
Like most, want to see Dow make it but at the moment he's struggling full stop and really not contributing anything. Needs a run of half a dozen games in the VFL to just find the footy.
Have said on more than one occasion this year that Setterfield has been terrible and not sure why he was an automatic inclusion last week.
Assuming Williams is fit and no other injuries than what we already know about:
IN: Kennedy, Williams, McGovern (with trepidation)
OUT: Dow, Silvagni, Setterfield
We don't really lose any pace with Williams coming in, McGovern taking JSOS' place and McGovern giving a bit of support for McKay with Levi back up in the ruck. Casboult's form is average but he needs to play while TDK is still out.

As much as they haven't great form, Setterfield and Dow have big enough bodies.
OUT: Dow, Silvagni, Setterfield
Despite having a good game, I wouldn't be surprised to find Ed on the outer, with Setterfield retained as another option to cover for Plowman if Plowman isn't 100%.
I've noticed a couple of other AFL coaches going horses for courses under these new rules, we haven't yet but I think that it's just a matter of time.
I don't know enough about the replacements for Ports kids to get a bead on the direction to go in. Will they be faster/slower, bigger/smaller, etc., etc..

I'd say Setterfield is safe for this week...
