Whoah! I make that ten different players last time:

Ward, Frawley, Brown, Bizzell, Godfrey, Bate, P Johnson, Buckley, Moloney and Newton.

All these players played last time, and barring last minute changes, wont be playing for various reasons Saturday.

The ins would be:

Whelan, Rivers, Bell, Bartram, Bruce, Davey, Wonaeamirri, Jamar, Dunn, Morton

Correct me if I'm wrong, I only did the comparo quickly.

I know which ten I'd rather have in!

Thats a huge difference in anyones book.

Godfrey on a half forward flank says it all.

Godfrey on a half forward flank says it all.

That wasn't the game where he kicked a goal from 50m, was it?

Anyhow, certainly a better side this time around
