We should have Plowman available next week: he missed with illness. He has done the job a couple of times, but he's been smashed a couple of time. If we can control the midfield, he should be more competitive. This is where we miss someone like McGovern, who has the speed and the aerial skins to get the job done.
It will be interesting to see who else comes up after injury. Martin is probably out. Hewett is a possible in, but no certainty. Dow probably needs to be rewarded. But, we've seen that mean little so far, and our midfield has been pretty good.

I would love to see our small forwards kicking goals, but you can't complain about the pressure they provide. Some of the tackles from Carey Durdin and Matt Owies were nothing short of brilliant. Owies has more tackles inside 50 than anyone else in the comp! Now, if they can work on their ball handling ...
