Cox has destroyed us twice against us in 2018 (5 goals!) and this year's QBDAY.

Quite happy for him to be omitted. 

Bit of squaring up to do with this [censored]$%

They might have some big INS... grundy and Howe.

No change. Best team defence for the year.

Weideman featured pretty well in goal assists for us against Freo and I also think Melksham will be a big factor. Adds that blend of toughness on the forward line with his best mate in the BP as a present for gin in a pan.

How? He had 1 kick for a goal. His throw (handball) would be classified as a goal assist, but that's where it ends.

Isn’t there a mandatory 12-day break for concussion? How can Harmesy be a consideration?

If Ben Brown is fit he plays but van Rooyen must be the next in line. Can't play Weid after a one possession game.

 

B: Lever, May, Hibberd

HB: Hunt, Petty, Salem

C: Langdon, Brayshaw, Jordon

HF: Petracca, Gawn, Neal-Bullen

F: Fritsch, B.Brown, Pickett

FOLL: Jackson, Oliver, Viney

IC: Rivers, Sparrow, Spargo, Melksham

SUB: Harmes 

I will be surprised if Brown plays and I expect Sam to play. Put simply there is no one else. JVR played well but against the worst team in comp.

Do you reckon he's going to get to play this week because I do.

Only because there's no one else

I don't know if Harmes should come straight back in to the team but I do know that he's a proven finals player and if we do call on him he will give us his everything and we have nothing to worry about.

Is Harmes walk up best 22 anymore? I actually rated the balance of the team more with Hunt breaking some lines off HBF and Gus in the middle. Looked quite potent.

I agree totally. Although Hunt can be a little fumbly at times, his presence in the side appeared to give us that extra dimension and potency. Having said that, the side just generally played better so everyone looks a bit more potent.

Aside from the septic-tank having a day out, how did Collingwood get us last time? 
 

My anger and IPA-consumption conveniently blocked the game from memory.

They swooped on our undermanned defence and the fact Gawn was on one leg. It’s actually as simple as that. We were trying to plug holes. We couldn’t. We were in control of the game until half-time. After that, they slowly pegged it back, due largely to Cox having no opponent and doing it at both ends of the ground. He won’t be afforded that luxury this time. 

Out Neil Bullen for  Harmes if BBB available Weid also I would liker to find a position For Bowey if Melk slips he is the one we must keep Angus in the Centre and instruct Sparrow to use the Ball Better he is a very good Player.

I also observed that the Yank did Not shake Maxes hand after the LAST Game that should be some motivation to seek revenge

May out, Petty on and off injured, Max injured should've been subbed out but Turner was concussed so was subbed out instead. We kept bombing it straight down the throats of Cox and Moore.

Hope so! Big for us! 

They'll be 2 men down. 

Grundy back in would really upset the balance they have right now!

We here's hoping.

I'd rather Grundy in than Cox, the Texan has a way of getting hold of us.

BB (even if not 100%) is better than Weid. BB only needs 2 possessions to make a difference. No other changes.
