How amazing is to be coming off a win, with a couple of minor injuries [Fisher & SOJ] and having some players in the NB's who are in good and winning form!! I can't remember the last time that happened, and it's a very good sign.
It will be interesting to see which way they go this week with selection with the expected 2 outs. Does McReadie go straight back in?? Jones looks to be in great form, jumping strongly and holding his marks. Kerridge is getting plenty of it and will help with midfield depth against a strong Pies midfield - might be a good 'horses for courses' selection. Kerr or McKay would both stretch the Pies defence and surely either or both of these can't be too far away from getting a call up. Polson did nothing wrong in his game and would be a closer swap for Fisher.
I would definitely keep Alex in the team as the defensive set up last week looked excellent - I don't think it was an accident that Doc and Simmo were able to player further up the ground [which was huge for us] with another experienced player down there. I like McCreadie, but I would keep the structure the same this week as it's going to be a big worry for the Pies.
Ed has to shut down Pendles - he is their gun and if you let him dominate we will struggle. I am hopeful they may have a let down this week after a big win and 2 short turnarounds. Our strong finish that we have showed in the 2 wins is what we are going to need to replicate this week.
As with almost every win we have Kruz is the key - he is our talisman - if he plays well and starts taking marks up forward we are a big chance.
