Are we sure that Cogs is even coming back next week? Last injury report has him at 1-2 weeks. Cumming is another one to think about, returning through the VFL this weekend. Going to be a lot of competition for spots.

5 - Finn Callaghan 4 - Kieren Briggs 3 - Tom Green 2 - Darcy Jones 1 - Harry Himmelberg

What an incredible showing that was! Exceptional performances from our players all across the ground. Green and Whitfield racking up disposals. Callaghan with great run and 600+ meters gained. Briggs dominating in the ruck with clearances and hard ball gets. Himmelberg and Buckley super solid...

Holy s**t Darcy is fast

I reckon there's a good chance he'll make a good showing for his fan club in Canberra. I really want Briggs to have a big game. He's been struggling the last couple of matches, but with McInerney out and Darcy Fort in the ruck, this a great opportunity for him to dominate and get back into some...

I wonder if Peatling has done enough to get a full game. He'll be fresher, having only played one quarter last week. Possibly XOH could be the sub?

This is actually what I expected to happen. With the matrix they use to decide suspensions it needs to be at least low impact. For Hogan's it was easy to make the case that the force was negligible and the potential for injury was zero. Honestly I think this a good result for us. Structurally...

5 - Kelly 4 - Ash 3 - Whitfield 2 - Bedford 1 - Aleer

I expected it to be Haynes, but I'm happy to see Leek get a go. With his size and leap he could be a good fit to nullify McKay. Guess we'll see on Saturday.

Thought the rest of our defence stepped up nicely in Taylor's absence. Peatling also had a pretty good game plus the game saving mark. 5 - Idun 4 - Buckley 3 - Ash 2 - Whitfield 1 - Peatling

This is good to see.

Definitely a bit simplistic. From what we saw on the weekend our midfield should not be above Gold Coast's.

Unfortunately I think Toby gets a week off from that tackle. There wasn't much in it, but they've been pretty consistent with punishing tackles like that. So given that, I'd swap Greene out for Jones. Assuming he's had adequate preparation I think it'd be a good time to give him a debut. They...
