Still reckon it'll be a simple one this week:
IN: Barrass
OUT: JK
with Allen playing forward.

I wish we had access to better stats. Relevant stats, utilised by coaches. Not the really deep stuff, but something that adds to the picture for a non-watcher.The cult of statistics has robbed people of the ability to see the difference between numbers and influence on a match.
Matchups may come into it, but if we err on caution and rest Gov or Barrass for one more week Edwards holds his spot. But if both are ready 100% to go they are walk in starters and Edwards goes and Allen goes back forward. So our defence doesn’t change too much in actual structure.You do when looking at key KP matchups.
If we are short for defenders and the opposition go tall we are more likely to bring in a player back from injury. If we have that role covered we may err on the side of caution and give a player one more week to build up their fitness.
VindicationIt's amusing to look at the player ratings for that game. Nic Nat rated second best on ground, ROB 6th best. A closer look shows that almost all of his points came in the last when the game was over. Was terrible when it mattered, putting up two negative quarters.

Not sure where SEN got the news that JK was out for several weeks? Must be another Tom Browne Moment

I'd give Gov another week, personally. Groins can be tricky.

Do we have any actual update on Yeo? I’ve always assumed he returns after the bye but have no confirmationI'd give Gov another week, personally. Groins can be tricky.

Vozzo usually has been hitting us with "just before or just after the bye and we will work out a return to play date soon" for about the past 6 weeks of injury updates.Do we have any actual update on Yeo? I’ve always assumed he returns after the bye but have no confirmation
And Shuey after the bye and the set is complete!
Question does remain though... what will we say then when we inevitably travel to the SCG and forget how to football in round 16?
Should have kept hickeyWhat we always say:
sh*t ground, not fit for footy, Franklin crashed his car, COLA etc.
Yep. It was the best return our small forwards had as a group for the season. Need better than a 3 disposal effort to force your way inLast week was probably Langdon's best game this year - if they haven't dropped him yet they won't drop him this week.

Next week I thinkWeren't the teams/squads meant to be out on Thursdays again, starting today? No sign of them yet.
