I don't think we will win, this is a very important game for Sydney, they should be totally switched on.

All I'm hoping for is one last big 4 quarter effort from the team. Regardless of the result I think we can be very proud of this group, they have given us plenty to look forward to.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Would absolutely love to see Harry in but doubt it will happen.

Smedts out and Cuningham in.
If Jack is out (looks very sore), then Graham in too.

Buddy will blow Jones up. Jones doesnt have the endurance for bud.

Jones to endure.

 

[katmanblue]

Jones to endure.

Who takes buddy when he moves up onto the wing? I think Jones will stay deeper and switch which could be problematic if we get it wrong.

The system will, via Marchbank & Weitering, with Charlie providing a sort of chop out if Buddy gets involved in our long kicks down the line.

That being said, Jack Riewoldt and Hawkins did well out of doing just such a thing.

Exactly

 

[Jimmae]

Exactly

The thing to note there is that they both had physically imposing midfields that could match our level of pressure applied on the ball carrier.

Richmond wore us down, and Jack was the beneficiary. Geelong wore us down and we buckled under the weight.

I'm honestly not worried about getting mashed by a genuine top 4 side, and Richmond and Sydney don't fit that description. This will be a close game.

To be honest, getting smashed wouldnt be the worst thing. Prefer it doesnt happen, can see the silver lining if it does. GC % is very close to ours.

Rest them for what exactly?

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Out: Smedts, JSOS (looks sore)
In: Cuners, KJ

 

[Mr_Plow]

Hell no to resting our future core.

Sydney will be desperate to win and win big to secure top 4.
Bolton will ensure that we don't make it easy for them.

This is a huge game.

 

[BeligerentBlue]

Rest them for what exactly?

Late nights on the end of season trip?

 

[Benaly28]

Rest them for what exactly?

Not to do an acl or get seriously injured.Too important.

 

[james Dean]

Smedts out for Cunners.

No other changes

 

[Jimmae]

Not to do an acl or get seriously injured.Too important.

Agreed, let's lock them in their houses and tell them not to leave until October. Just to be safe.

 

[davis_756]

Be interesting to see how we go now sydney are up and about, we do match up well against them and their midfield is beatable

 

[Davey33]

Rest them for what exactly?

mad monday LOL

INS & OUTS.

Does anyone think we are a slight chance next week.

Unfortunately not. the only chance we'd have is locking it down on our defensive terms and i just dont think the way this team is playing right now it will be possible.
they'll have alot of players back from last time we played them. incredible offensive power and the motivation of a top four spot...
That said, you never know with this team...

Out: Smedts, Kerridge
In: Cunners, Mckay
