Between injury and suspension, of our nine players in the various leadership roles we have two available, both of which are in their first year at the club. The number of injuries has certainly been better this year but **** me if they aren't all to the most important players.
 
Thuggan accepts two.

He would never be dropped so I don't mind getting a peek at what we look like without him down there. Worst case scenario is I get get a better appreciation for what Liam was bringing to the table down back.
 
Out: Duggan, Gross, Owies, Bazzo*
In: Grego, Billiams, Dewar, Edwards* (if available)

Backs: Edwards/Bazzo, Brock, Ginbey, Cole, Hough, Dewar, Grego
Mids: Kelly, Hewett, McCarthy, Hall/Graham, Maric, Chesser
Rucks: Flynn, Reid
Forwards: Billiams, Shanahan, Ryan, Cripps, Davis/Brockman, Baker, Graham/Hall
Sub: Brockman/Davis
Emergencies: Owies (travelling), Bazzo/Jamieson, Long

Edwards for Bazzo if he’s fit. Edwards and Ginbey can take Darcy and Naughton respectively. Shanahan can swing back if needed.

Gross out, Dewar comes in to play back, Baker can go forward and play a negating role on Bailey Dale.

Good opportunity to give Grego a couple of games in the absence of Duggan.

Billiams in to provide a senior target up forward, Reid to continue to give Flynn a chop out.

Brockman or Davis to sub. Owies to travel as 24th man.

Four changes to a side that played well is unfortunate but there’s good reasons behind all of them.
 
Imagine being a Bullies fan? They are cooking with an exciting brand of football to watch and your club drops this on you:

It also gets you priority ticket access to the first three weeks of finals games featuring the Doggies.
 
Jeez you’re a clown, Hamish is always hard it, I reckon you’re hard at it most of the time too, just in a different way.
I think he had a good go at it, but that effort on the half back flank in the first half had me scratching my head.

Made no effort at all to put any pressure on the ball user, didn't even try smother.
Made me wonder if my depth perception was off due to my seats on the wing.

Yep that stood out to me, definitely looked to be in proximity for a smother- at least try.
Other than that I liked his game.

Davis can be a bit tentative. But Hall and other juniors can be. A preseason and a few more games will help.

Freo are flying but they were selling tickets to their last home game for $22 I think it was. They should be packing Optus every home game with punters disappointed they couldn't get a seat.

Watching JWill at either level, I think he's locked himself in a cage in the basement.
His confidence has been eroded this year, starting with his exclusion early in the year. It was obvious that the new coach didn’t see him as part of the future.
