Just one thing on Doc and people worried about his fitness.
I'll play devils advocate for a second.
Perhaps he is fitter than anyone else in the side at the moment because....
1. He has done nothing but train and train and train to get ready for this moment.
2. He isn't carrying any niggles like everyone else in the team.
3. He is mentally fitter than anyone else on our list with what he's had to endure in and outside of footy.
If we win this week, i'd argue that next week is the bigger issue with him. Getting up in back to back games when you are probably carrying a niggle into week 2 can see a big drop off in form/output.
For this week, i'd back him in.
