Danger, Stuart and Selwood all were banged up in that match so they wont be a 100% plus the short break.
BUT no matter what form we are in we never win there so im expecting nothing.

Disagree strongly in tagging Guthrie. He slows down the ball movement dramatically. Id love to see him get 45 stats. He is the player who collects the ball when they are struggling to move it really. Tagging Dangerfield is a no brainer really. He is the dynamic one who pushes it forward
In regards to Hawkins and Cameron id be inclined to let Cameron drift up the ground to pick up his seagull stats which is what I see happening.

I think team play better off a 6 day break. They shouldn't, but they do.
This should be our best chance to beat them down there in a very very long time, as they're not in form, look a little banged up. But knowing us we'll play them into form!
This ground is all about pressure, and the contest. We simply have to drop Vardy for this one and bring in Jones or Ah Chee, I think Ah Chee could actually play as a second ruck/more of extra mid. He's got a good leap, and good tackler.
There are 3 constants in this world: death, taxes and West Coast not winning in Geelong.
If Selwood, Hawkins and Dangerfield all did hammies in the opening minute of the first quarter I still wouldnt hope for a win. Kardinya Park has strange, eerie powers.....
Yes, tag Dangerfield. If his disposals are under pressure, he turns it over a lot.
No Judd, Pridda's debut. 9 goals down in the third and you campaigners know what happened next. Look at these margins by quarter:
GE by 31 | GE by 39 | GE by 36 | WC by 3 |

Good thing about Cameron is you can get away with Shep on him and that frees up Gov
Hutching just played his 1st half a game in the WAFL. So not easy to get best player when....you aren't playing.
Saying that the chances are his best is behind him and We need to look elsewhere. Hence Nelson getting the job.

Hutchings is a better option then XON at the moment. No question about that
XOn is likely to play 4 quarters. Hutch is not. That said, the medical sub rule could be a lifeline for Hutch- it is less of a risk playing a guy who has broken down the last 2 games he has played for us if there is an option to replace him should the pattern continue.
For me, XOn is a 10 year player and we should give him a good block of games while we have Yeo and Shuey out so he finds his feet at this level. He will be very good IMO and we should take every chance to develop him.

Club said he needs a month of WAFL a long time ago so 3 more weeks
Im talking overall though. Once fit he is best 22 by a mile

Who though? Cripps?

Having watched the replay of the first half, you guys were right. What confused me was that Nelson was usually starting forward at centre bounces alongside Crisp and they were both running straight into the middle. But yeah at other stoppages he was sitting on Pendlebury or occasionally Sidebottom, and running with them during play.
If Nelly was starting on the HFF then I'm happy for him to do it. JJ maybe? I don't know. Just hate seeing that bloke run around doing whatever he wants and often carving us up.
Pretty easy formula to winning this gaiz.
Mids need to be switched the * on at at the very minimum break even with geelongs mids

With all due respect, I am not sure about that. He is given disproportionate amount of air when compared to his actual importance. He is just a tagger, at best, and you don’t salivate over someone like that.
Our issue is contested ball everywhere except backline. Midfield gets beaten up by bulls and current small forwards/half forwards run around like headless chooks who struggle finding ball or trapping the ball in. Our supposed inside mid, sheed, has had 2 tackles in 2 weeks.
Hutchings fixes nothing and therefore you play a young kid.

No more Hutchings please.
Surely we can fit another ruckman into the side somewhere? What if Nic and Vardy both need to go to the toilet at the same time?Sounds like we need more talls.
