Trac is gonna have to play some significant midfield time

I know I'll probably regret saying this but thank god we've got Carlton next week.

A gun KPD and perhaps another midfielder who's lightning quick would be nice

faaarrrkk

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Mitch White has been promoted meaning he's one of the ins. Definitely didn't see that coming.

Imagine if we didn't have Gawn back

9:45 at Gosch's Paddock. Garlett, Hogan and Watts will have their fitness tests. Anyone going down?

I think Jesse's mental state could be the only thing holding him back to play this week. I'd definitely want him playing VFL if he doesn't get up. He's training for over 3 weeks now. Fitness shouldn't be an issue. He missed less footy than Max and was off his feet for much less time, and Gawny went OK in his comeback game I reckon. Imagine the boost it will give the rest of the boys if he plays. The reaction if he kicks a goal! Will be huge.

Don't just call it "My mail" and expect everyone to believe you. Be specific please! promise we wont tell John Longmire!

Probably go an extra tell in the fwd line as Sydney LOVE to clean up long bombs down the line and re-load. An extra tall will make us more competitive in the air so our smalls can buzz around and crumb. Risky one as our spread has been so good but I'd make it Pedo, Hoges and Watts (if fit) in the fwd line with T-Mac down back. Probably means Oscar might be dropped, although Sydney play with 3 talls. Selection will be impossible until we know who's fit Kent to come in if Garlett can't play

That being said, we've played our best footy all season when we've played 2 tall forwards and 1 ruckman. We've been able to get our run and carry game going. Will be interesting to see if they continue that if Hogan gets up Also bare in mind they've got Buddy, Reid AND a resting ruckman up forward (Tippett/Sinclair)

O.Mac was back to his old ways against the Eagles If Hogan returns it'll be IN; Watts , Hogan OUT: Salem (hammy), O.Mac (rested)

Hibberd shouldn't have played. Looks sore

What were we before?

Now that Watts is probably out, i'd be in favour of us bringing in Kent. It makes sense with JW out we replace a like for like. Although it wouldn't make sense for us to bring in another tall along with Gawny, Watts kicks us goals. Kent can easily kick 2-3 goals a game. Trenners, JKH and Wagner can't do that

We could put Tim Smith on the LTI list

We played Subi well last year

Not heard to much about Maynard aside from that he racks em up. What position does he play? Off half back like his brother?

The last time we played a game without Nathan Jones was round 5, 2012. We were 0-4 at that stage and went on to lose our first 9 games that year In: Gawn Out: Jones Trac, Tyson and Lewis to step up and get extra midfield minutes

West Coast Bigfooty page saying Kennedy again did not train today. Still hasn't done training since the injury. I'd be surprised if he played Also [censored] off to see Jonesy out for a couple. He's a bloody tough unit so I wouldn't be surprised if he got up for the Sydney game

Shuey gets a fine Mitchell gets a fine Zak Jones gets a week. Funny that.

Head is saying BenKen for me

3 on the trot and 4 of the last 5

We just came off a bye last week. Unless someone is too injured to play, they play!

Melksham is playing on Johannisen who takes the Bulldogs kickouts and he's had 6 disposals. We've kicked 8.6 Think about that for a second
