How i feel a few days on from culleys ACL.
Shannon Hurn is "all done"
Does this mean he's retiring ? Standing down as skipper? Or something else

The club has had an anti-grass ban since the Rioli incident(s).
Love how Rowell's always been a bit of a weird unit, does his own thing. Need more of that in the AFL landscape.

and Ginbey...Darling to play this week.
Rest him for that long trip to Tasmania the following week.
In fact Allen likely needs a rest next week too.
And Barrass.

Not to mention
Whilst Hurn hasn't been bad at all this season, I'd be preferring to get some games into younger players every second week.
With the potential of Hough and Hedwards coming back, would be much better for Shannon to go on a two week fishing trip with Lecca instead.

Mop
Not anymore
That would require us to actually have fit youngsters.

GC travelling to Perth, their second 6 day break in a row, reckon we're a chance in this game. Was gonna say they had a draining game last week against Melbourne but then again so did we in the wet.

Also that woman who spread her nans ashes over the SCG when Buddy kicked his 1000....... probably not an issue at Optus tho.
Zero chance. Love the random optimism but the side is broken. Last two week has shown how we’ve gone from being somewhat competitive to being cooked.
Darlings in terrible form, but our entries have been miserly and when we do get them forward it’s often 2v1 and not placed to his advantage.
Allen is the beneficiary of his work too.
Don’t think we have much choice with changes this week.
Out: Culley, Hurn (Inj)
In: Jamieson, SPS (if fit)
Friday night game means we can really choose our sub but not have to hold over any more than necessary.
Chesser, Edwards come back via WAFL would be preferred. But we might be tempted to bring Edwards in if he’s kept his running up, which you assume he has.
Jamieson plays second ruck. Waterman to 3rd tall. Witts is a big test for BBBW he’s going to need the support.
We are really lacking ground players and the balance is really wrong, but what choice do we really have?

Agree.You would need several players to step up and play out of their skins.Jack Darling would be one but unlikely.

With Darling I kind of want us to experiment a bit.
Do we actually need two big key forwards anymore. Look at most sides these days and a lot of them are going with just one key forward.
We can't replace Darling anyway with our injuries but once that lightens up would be nice to have other options to try.
Maybe go with a small forward line instead for a change.

I feel like the only way we can win is if we play out of our skins for 3 qtrs and they are hopelessly bad and then we hang on to a small victory.
We need them to be very inaccurate and unlucky and us to go at like 80% i50 eff.
Like the win v Pies last year. Just crazy accuracy.

Casboult wont play, apparently his pregnant wife is due this week and he didn't make the flight over.
Teams are going with one not cause of tactical reasons but cause they don’t have two quality key forwards.
Jacks production has been poor but what he has done well is protect Allen from being reamed by the opposition defence.
