Etihad Stadium
6 day turnaround for both teams
Both teams coming off their first win of the season.
The Suns need to travel, offset by the fact that we played in very taxing, exhausting conditions.
I'm a little worried that our rusty skills will be exposed on a dry track, something that is less of an issue in the wet.
Both teams will be pumped and eager to make it 2 in a row.
No injuries for us, that I'm aware of.
Ablett played a very good game today, going by the stats : 36 touches, 3 marks, 4 tackles, 2 goals 1.
Suns by 5 goals.

Weitering might have to battle some concussion issues through the week.
Simmo was limping pretty badly at some stage, although he looked to make a recovery....and unless his leg is amputated, reckon he'll be out there yet again.

Thanks.
Ah well, there's our No1 player, and our spiritual leader.
If they're outs, our task just got that much harder.

I reckon every player from today would walk through walls to play next game.
Reality always wins in the end.

Maybe, but hopefully players and club will be sensible and honest in how they manage injuries, without taking unnecessary risks. This is for all players, but perhaps more so for "Crown Jewels" players like Weets.

Weitering's far from our number one player and Simmo, while a favourite son, isn't our spiritual leader.
We'd miss both, but not as much as we'd miss a dozen others ... and that's a good thing!

Who do you think are our No1 player and spiritual leader ?

I'm not sure that I could nominate a number one player but well ahead of Weitering at the moment are Murphy, Gibbs, Kreuzer, Cripps, Docherty and Simpson, with several others, particularly Wright, Rowe, Plowman and Marchbank at least level pegging.
Spiritual leadership is intangible and hard to pin down but I reckon Kreuzer is the man with Murphy not far behind.
