Fergy out? Heffernan still in? What does he have to do to get dropped?

Oh my god.

It looks like in anticipation of the wet weather ND has gone with a smaller backline. Merrett will most likely be picked up by Bizzell, as he would seem the least threatening forward however he's a very big kid and I hope he doesn't cause any trouble down back for us. Hopefully though it pours down and our smaller backline can just keep running it out. Looks like it's Rivers on Brown as well. This game will be Rivers' biggest test, and if he comes out on top I'll be singing his praises for months, if he doesn't well a lot of players have been beaten by Brown. Expect Wheatley or Bizzell to come in from the side everytime Brown goes for a mark.

i reckon nicho will take brown when he goes down forward. ND did line him up at CHB

but y not rigoni over heffernan? heffernans inclusion seems like he will be a tagger wasting valuable space at centre bounces as he has to be there on his opponent even though he is no good

That would leave Rivers to take Bradshaw. He'd be able to keep with him as Bradshaw isn't a massively strong player, he usually takes a lot of his marks on leads inside the F50. Midfield battle will be very good. I reckon we're a huge chance for this game, and with Neita back I think it will give our forwardline all the firepower it needs to win.
