You could well be right but i like how Pods is the guy who stands under the long ball as a 'get out' option and he's also very smart at going back to defence when required.

Yeah nah you guys need to give it a rest. 20 touches and 3 goals is better than passable. And substantially better than our other key forward out there......

Smith on Smith 
I'm going L.T. back in for Truck as the only change.
So maybe drop tex for smack. Maintains the structure and pushes the weak link down to the 2's.
31 year old averaging 14 disposals this year, 2 more than smack last year. But look, pods is a developing tall, smack peaked in 2013, so structuring up around him makes sense. Pods is average, is stunting our development and we'd be a better side if we ran an extra midfielder out of his position.
Can't see Rutten getting up for the Hawks, the 6 day break seems to work against concussed players
Talia is such a professional and will be right to go IMO and Danger has been playing hurt all year
On the positive we have M Crouch, Grigg, Hartigan and LT all champing at the bit for an opportunity

Rutten Out
Thompson In
Crouch possibly in depending on what the coaching panel think of Laird's game. Can't see anyone else being dropped, only injury would force someone out and we won't know the extent of most injuries until Sunday/Monday.

I reckon we swap Pods out for Cameron when he's back up and running

I think Hawthorn have obvious holes in their mids after watching last night's game, with Sewell out and possibly Hill our mids should dominate depending on our injuries. And our forward line should be better than their defence.
Key players for them(discounting forwards):
Hodge
Smith
Mitchell
Birchall
Lock down on Birch and Smith I think, then they should really struggle.

If???
Think it will be 'WHEN', I'll be surprised if he doesn't get 2 or 3 weeks given his poor record at the tribunal!

Nah he'll get off. He only tried to choke him to death, no concussion, no blood, Petrie played out the game...nothing to see here.
Would like to see Bob get a game...I mean what else does the guy have to do? 42 and 35 the week before? If Thommo's leg is as bruised as they say, then rest him. We need all players as close to full fitness as we can.
This was the week that Danger needed to rest...he'll be like the Black Knight off Monty Python...oh my arm just fell off, I'll be right to play next week. Will someone just sedate him after telling him to have a week off. He's broken his C curse, now have a rest.
Think Truck rests this week and LT comes in. Could see him playing on mummy's boy.

as much as martin has been good we need kerridge in to tag one of hawthorns gun mids for someone.. possibly l.thompson vs gunston hence coming in for truck. hopefully s.thompson gets up coz we need him otherwise obvious replacement is matt crouch. i would say matt crouch in for someone regardless but not sure who

You're delusional....we get no 'free hits'....look at the ladder and the draw that Gold Coast and Essendon have....our draw is harder...there are no free hits that is just a silly comment

What's the bet both Dangerfield and Thompson get up to play this week?

Since the first three rounds when we absolutely stank this side is averaging 98 points per game and conceding 75 points per game.
Keep changes to a minimum and only for injuries. This side is jelling together.

How is our draw harder than Essendons? We both play a top 4 side (us Hawthorn, them Sydney), plus we both play 2 sides we are fighting for top 8 spots with in Collingwood/kangaroos for us, Collingwood/Gold Coast for them, the rest are irrelevant sides below us. Pretty bloody even runs IMO.
Collingwood have the tough draw, playing Hawthorn, Port, Adelaide, Essendon and West Coast in WA.
Kangaroos and Gold Coast have the relatively easy run here on in with only 1x top 5 team each and 1x 6-10 team each.

Our draw is ok - Hawks in Adelaide, Collingwood and North away (all winnable) and then we have 4 games we should win (three at home and one in Brisbane). We should be 12 wins and win next week then we are odds on to make it.
Personally I reckon we will win 14.

Any chance well see Taila go to gunston and otten to Roughead.
Do u even want to win this game?
