Internally would expect Voss to treat this week as a elimination final. We were embarrassed on the field and in the coaches box and while I’m not expecting a win im certain we will see a response and the game will be a lot closer then many expect imo.
We have a list strong enough to beat them provided we all buy in and want it enough. Expecting big games from our senior core in Weitering Doc Cripps Walsh Harry Charlie etc.
Blues by 12 in an upset.

Could see him turn in a good one with the shackles released. (Here's hoping). Or do we give Setterfied the chance to replace Kennedy in the mid field and play him in his natural environment??
Im not sure what the MC sees in Setterfield. As a winger he has height as an advantage, but he is generally a bit of a one paced player, who doesnt exactly get leather poisoning to make up for a lack of any endearing attributes.
I suspect that Voss values height or the ability to play tall, which might be why Dow is struggling a little.

Come the 'wet @rse' time, and based on current indicators, who would I not want to find myself in the trenches with... Setterfield, Weitering and Plowman.

We had gone win/loss since half way through the season. A repeat get us 4 or 5th. One win gets us 7th or 8th. Don't want to think about zero wins.

In the modern game, the winger is a low-possession role with tons of unrewarded running as wingers keep their width and are therefore out of the contest. The rebounding defender role is the high possession one. Yes, there are teams with star players on the wing (e.g. St. Kilda & Hill) and those teams tie themselves in knots trying to bring those star into the play which undermines the role of the winger.

I wanted Lipinski the past couple of years. He's going well.

Sidebottom is having a career best season, but the Filth aren't perfect and there are many Filth supporters that see some worrying signs relating to the size and shape of their list. At the moment they are drinking a bit of their own bathwater after some terribly lucky escapes, but of course everybody needs a bit of luck.
You know what always happens with luck, it balances out!

Ed Langdon is probably close to the best pure wingman in the game....non-stop running from defence to forward line....gets plenty of it and usually pretty effective with it.
