Stocker, Williamson and Kennedy in for mine with Simpson/Newman out if injured and probably O'Brien as well? Plowman probably only saved if Simpson and Newman are both outs. His form on the weekend was diabolical....got lots of the ball but turned it over way too often for an experienced bloke.
Use Jones (and to a lesser degree big H up forward) in the ruck. But ithink Phillips must play.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Geez, I hope not, that has PCL tragedy written all over it!

Dont like Casboult vs Goldstein, if North are any good its in the middle with Cunnington, Higgins, Ziebell, dont need them getting an easy ride, think I would play Philips..

You watch those dogs Ziebell and Cunnington go to work on the likes of Fisher and SPS this week. They'll ignore Cripps and beat the hell out of the receivers because the kids are soft targets.
The ruckmen might not make much difference if they are the spectating type!

I think Fisher and SPS can well look after themselves - LOB, Dow and Walsh different stories....
Setterfield should come straight back in - he's a big unit!

Sadly, my sources have both Simpson and Kreuzer out for 4 weeks. Not too upset about Simmo, but the big fella is shot even after this latest setback I'm afraid.
Have to go back to Phillips I guess as the direct swap and I'm hoping Williamson for Simmo. If Charlie is back I'd look at dropping Obrien. Maybe Stocker in as the wildcard for Ed?
We loose this one and Bolton will be just about cooked.

Tractor was instrumental in that first half. None of our other ruckman come close.

Ziebell and Cunnington are not fast, it might be the perfect game for the bigger bodied SoJ to get a run in the middle.
I agree about Setterfield, if he's fit he is in, Fisher, sMurph and SPS should be working outside and leaving Ziebell and Cunnington chasing them!
What about Higgins?

Amos said on SEN he's a fair chance to play....(but we've heard that before)
