By my reckoning, two wins should get us into the finals but we have to win all four to get the double chance.

We certainly can’t take next week against Gold Coast lightly given what happened to us last year.

The line up was unchanged this week - can we go with the same line up again?

i'd still take avb for jkh

Bugg or Hannan ? Or AVB?

Hibberd ready yet? Big upgrade over Smith!

Eight day break for Hogan and any other players to get over their niggles.

NO CHANGE 

No change for me however a close look at Hogan is required.

They both played tonight.

Goodwin said in his presser not next week, maybe the week after for the swans. 

Hogan is sore, maybe needs a rest....bring in Vanders or Pedo

Bring in the WEED

I would give Hogan a week off to rest if needed. Weids come in. 

Otherwise no change as Hibbo, Viney and Hunt won’t be ready to return. 

Would love to see AVB get a game

Smith needs to go.  Other than that I'm happy enough with the lineup. 

I’d like to rest Hogan but we’d want to choose carefully who to bring in. Could really upset the balance if Weed comes in and just lugs around. This is no game to take easy 

Jayden Hunt? Reckon Fritsch needs a well earned rest.

No Fritsch is a gun and his kicking alone is needed. Hunt hasn't played any football.

Did not go for any marks just parried the ball to ground, cant put two hands above his head. 

Shoulder injury me thinks...

Watched the replay and Hogan looks like he has a few issues to get over, so I would give him a rest.  He may have to miss through injury anyway with all the work he was getting done and the hobbling.

If Hogan misses we would bring in Pedersen or Weid ..  we should manage fine with either of those guys for this game.

Were working on his knee and groin all game. Also big hit in his back. Seemed ok above the shoulders just couldn't get any spring, so just caused a spillage as it's more reliable than going for a mark.

Same result though. If he can't push off he's a liability. Like all players. I have him as my best F in all my fantasy leagues, and even I'm ok with him taking a week, particularly if it's soft-tissue related.

bring in both Vanders and Pedo - targets, bodies, kickers, shakers, as we have the TEAM performing again with some being carried.

How many times can I say given Hogan a rest?

He's had knee, ankle and last week a hip and now another knee. Isn't jumping, isn't playing with any speed. Get him right. Play Weids or Tim Smith for the week.

The fringe midfield/half forward brigade: Tyson, JKH, Spargo, ANB, Jeffy all did enough to keep their spots. Can't see how Vanders comes in there unless he plays a blinder.

Joel Smith - horrible first half, but not so terrible to the extent that I'd be removing him for Josh Wagner or another fringe defender.

Petracca shoulder?

Hogan out, if he needs it.  In Pedo or AVB (Not Weed)

JKH out.   In Bugg, Hannan

Rest: Hogan

In: Weid or Bull, both been good at VFL level, don’t think Pedo as he’s been playing as a defender the last 4 weeks

Id want Keilty to play too but it ain’t gonna happen
