In - a fair fixture.

Dogs with an extra 3 days rest and two games at Marvel in a row.

Have a look at the week before the Collingwood game.

They play Thursday night at the G.
We play Sunday 4.45 in Perth.
They just about get an extra bye.

4, nearly 5 day difference.
 
I'll leave the obvious until later.

Youd assume Milera comes back for the injured Rachele.... not because it makes sense but because its the way we roll.

Id like to have another look at Cooky before we decide he's no good. Been in good form albeit in 2 absolute beltings. If not him then Pedlar who looked as good as ive seen him in ages this arvo.

Jones has had a dominant month since moving into the middle, and hes played good footy on the wing previously. Could he come in for Isaac Cumming, or maybe Dowling who's in good touch as well. Again, it makes sense but we are unlikely to do it.

And now we get to the elephant in the room. We CANNOT keep selecting Murphy. He has a crack, he'd br a great teammate and he does look a bit above SANFL level.... but he just doesn't contribute.

But he will be picked, and that will anger most of us. Im just done being angry with selections...... as much as it annoys me.

Out: Murphy, Rachele
In: Milera, Pedlar

Seems the most likely change although I wouldn't mind seeing Jones have a go in the midfield. Rankine can play forward.

Zac was poor, but it'll do him no good dropping him back to the ressies straight away. Give him a month to see if he has it.
 
They said on 5aa that the docs did not diagnose an acl at the ground and that Rachelle was positive but he’d need scans to confirm it .
Can't diagnose til has scans.

Nicks didn't say much, but reading between the lines i think the scans will confirm an ACL
You just can't make that call.

Didn't look like an obvious ACL.

Rachele jogged off the ground.

Rachele’s knee looked a little bit like when Seedsman hyperextended his knee a few years back. So hopefully he’ll be back for finals
