The last game for GWS in a very disappointing year. Unfortunately, there's not really a lot to be gained from it. If we upset the Dockers, then we'll drop a spot in the national draft order, which seems pretty pointless when we need quality draftees, and Essendon may well choose a kid that we really want. And the only thing gained would be a minute amount of satisfaction at an upset win. As well, there's the risk of significant injury to our players, which - for those continuing next year with GWS - would be terrible. Of course, we can't play thinking about that, and I'm sure Spike will be out to do as well as possible and win if he can, because a possible head coach role is on the line for him.
There will be a few changes from last week. Tanner Bruhn will be out with concussion, and most likely Lachie Keeffe will be missing with a groin problem. In terms of replacements, we're getting pretty near the end of the list, although Brayden Preuss may simply come back from injury for Lachie Keefe, and Tim Taranto similarly for Bruhn. I still think we've been too tall, and I'm happy to see Leek Aleer continuing to get opportunity, so I wouldn't be averse to leaving someone like Stein out for a smaller player such as Cooper Hamilton (although having said that, I thought Stein was solid last game).
So, I think we'll see a very simplistic set of changes:
OUT - Keeffe, Bruhn
IN - Preuss, Taranto
Isaac Cumming, Sam Taylor, Nick Haynes
Adam Kennedy, Harry Himmelberg, Callum M. Brown
Josh Kelly, Harry Perryman, Lachie Whitfield
Kieren Briggs, Jake Riccardi, Callan Ward,
Tim Taranto, Jesse Hogan, Daniel Lloyd
Brayden Preuss, Jacob Hopper, Stephen Coniglio
Lachie Ash, Tom Green, Jake Stein, Leek Aleer,
