I like the White inclusion. Almost a like-for-like for Salem although he's still quite inexperienced when compared to the latter. I still would've liked at least one more change. This is our third six day break in a row and I would've like some more fresh legs out there. JKH in particular seemed worthy of another crack at AFL level after his blistering VFL form and recent contract extension. Also, are Kennedy and Kent completely out of favour at the moment? Seeing Dion Johnstone as an emergency doesn't seem to bode well for their future at the club. I still have a big belief that we can get the four points here (would make an excellent way to bring up the 21 for yours truly). We just beat West Coast last week with Garlett and Salem on the bench for the majority of the second half.

Far out! We just can't catch a break with injuries at the moment. Out: Garlett, Salem In: JKH, Wagner I think that Kennedy could be a sneaky chance as well but JKH's VFL form of late has been to good to ignore.

The scribe himself, Demonblog, just summed it up perfectly

Very impressed with the games of Stretch and Harmes.

Oliver's hands to Hibberd in the build-up to the final goal though....

6. Viney 5. T.McDonald 4. Gawn 3. Harmes 2. Tyson 1. Pederson

Gutsiest win ever. Everything was going against us: - The six day break - The umpires - Playing away from home - Injuries to Viney, Hannan (early), Garlett and Salem - Playing without our heart and soul: Watts and Jones Go Dees. Anything is possible from here...

Yeah, that was alright I guess..

WHAT A WIN

KADSHFOIHASODICFBLIANSOLDBLAIWSNDLBALWSND:ND:OAWSD

Pedders you [censored] legend! Tommy Mac kicks his fourth!

Pederson with a big clunk! Goal! Just 10 points with seven minutes left.

McGovern has killed us.

We can't lay a tackle at the moment.

HARMES!!!

Needed that! Thank goodness.

Going to take a massive effort to get up from here. Umpires and injuries beginning to take their toll. But we are extremely capable.

Frost needs to learn when and when not to burst. Cost us that goal.

Brilliant from Harmes there! Goal to ANB

TMac playing like Colin Garland circa 2012 against Essendon

Well done Jake. Viney looked ok on the bench a second ago, to be expected I guess.

I'm not sure If I'm prepared for the possibility of being a top four side yet, even if we win. Some sinister part of me almost misses the days when we played James Sellar at full forward and we'd be relatively satisfied if we stayed within five goals.

Thrilled to see Billy back in the side. I thought he was very unlucky to be dropped after the Richmond loss, but it seems he has righted some wrongs in the VFL and is set for another crack.

Not sure if true, but I've heard a couple bits and pieces through the socials that Mark LeCras might be out for West Coast.

While far from confirmed, here are some reviews of Maynard's VFL performances so far this year. Seems to be tracking very nicely. http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Ratings/Player/125130/Corey-MAYNARD
