O'hAilpin looks like he'll come into the team for Hampson, if he's injured. Performed well today. Like for like, ruck-forward.

Couldn't tell you who would come in for AJ. Yarran or Houlihan, I guess.

Really tough one, especially at Etihad, much prefer to play them at the 'G

I would like to see Yarran Walker in, and yes Sentanta for Hammer if he doesn;t come up, Warnock should do well, he;s getting better each week.

Thought Davies was ok....we have some good young talent, White, another good prospect.

Boy I can;t wait to see Warnock and Kreuze in tandem next year :thumbsu:

Would rather us go in with the two rucks in Jacobs and Warnock and take advantage of Geelongs use of Hawkins in the ruck. Jacobs should put the knee into him at every opportunity and feed our mids the ball.

Geelong v Dogs result works well for us. Doubt Sydney can beat a fired up Dogs after them being smashed tonite, so it gives us the breathing space to lose to the Cats next week. Not saying we will, we can beat them but the form line does not suggest we will this time and there was even less hope had we been facing the Cats after 2 losses, so their win relieves some of that pressure on us. Hopefully the Hawks can roll Freo in Melb to keep the door open to us taking 5th if we can beat them rd22 provided the Swans dont smash Bris by enough to leap us on %. The last 2 weeks will make all the difference in the end as I think % will be very very tight. Might just squeak into 5th as a result.

They had a few outs, but really 100 points...no excuses for that really :eek:

Don;t think they;ve beaten anyone in the top four, correct me if I;m wrong anyone....
I expected a massive, massive thumping. Be a huge ask to run 10-15km, mostly hard, in a game with the strength sapped. Sides get cut up by 10+ goals at the best of times when sides can run with no pressure. Either way though the dogs were disappointing.

They've had 2 wins from 12 against top 4 sides in the last 2 years so that's a big worry.

If you run and pressure Geelong at the contest, you are every chance of knocking them over, just like we have done in the past two meetings. However, we are going to be up against it on Friday night - they were outstanding at Etihad tonight.

Out - Davies

In - Walker
Na I'd say keep playing Davies, need to give him more and more exposure, AJ will prob miss next week so Walker will prob come in for him, even though I don't think he deserves his place in our side, yes he might have been very good in the vfl but the vfl is such a poor standard of footy compared to the elite level, so I think Walks has to string a good month together in the seconds to win his spot back
