I think Phil Davis will be back for GWS which will make it a bit more difficult for us and we need another focal point rather than just kicking it to Harry. We also need to find a minder for Toby Greene, someone who can mind a man compete with him in the air and on the ground, Plowman will probably draw the short straw given he will be an automatic back in.
DeBoer will probably make it tough for Cripps leaving Walsh to carry the load, they may even pull another tag with Ward also likely to get a role on someone.
I'd also expect them to run three marking targets down forward to stretch us as well with Riccardi a likely back in after a blinder in the twos. Going to be a tough game in the coaches box for Teague and hopefully his assistants havent given it away with the Review on and likely casualties in the coaching box.

EB...pretty sure I read somewhere that Plowman is out for another week with the knee? He would've been the obvious choice for Green. That might mean that one of Saad, Docherty or Williams has to actually be accountable for a man.....or Newman? I think Green would be too strong in the air for Newman.
On the face of it, Townsend's lineup doesn't look too bad.....on paper!
I reckon Parks will have to play as a tall defender....as you say, they'll stretch us down back and the Levi experiment from a few weeks ago against Sydney didn't work.
I'd be playing Stocker in the middle this week....their midfield will have too much depth for us so we'll need all the help we've got. Hopefully the assignment on Ryan hasn't dented his confidence.

@Dodge and Surfie...thanks for the update on Plowman....maybe Docherty or Newman get Greene then.
Agree on Stocker...time for some midfield action before we damage the kid anymore.

Cheers GTC.....I'm happy with that. Cottrell, Newnes and Setterfield haven't done much in recent weeks...nor Murhpy. Parks probably only in for a bit of height which we're lacking down back. Fogarty has gone off the boil a bit after a good start to the season but he offers a chop out in the middle and competes pretty hard.
Kennedy offers that bigger bodied midfielder which I reckon we need against their midfield.
Not sure there were too many other options?
No Mumford.
