Yeah you'd have to think so, given our position, there's no way Visentini should be being selected ahead of Sweet at the moment.
Only thing is if there's some minor doubt on Soldo.

He was with the docs a fair bit in the 3rd/4th against Carlton, looked leg related. He did come back on of course, but maybe there's a niggle.
 
We’ve only played at this ground twice and one of those games was a loss to the baby Giants in their first season which saw Matthew Primus sacked, and we haven’t played a game there in 11 years, but it’s still one of our favourite grounds according to Donuts.

I thought i would go back and track the Giants form over the whole year, and although they got off to the flying start of 5 and 0 they had some soft kills in that stretch with 3 wins against bottom 5 teams and got Collingwood in the first game when they were still very rusty. The other win was the suns in gather round, which was far from convincing.

The form then drops away even further after that.

Overall, i was surprised with their form line as everyone had them as a premiership fancy after what they did in the back half of last year, and the 5 nil start had everyone talking them up even more but it's not great. they definitely aren't some juggernaut that should be feared.

Admittedly, our form isn't great either but pound for pound with the Giants i think we are in better form and we should be winning this game.

I guess being at their home ground is why they start as favourites but the 11th placed dogs pantsed them last time they played at this ground.

Honestly, I'm going to be really annoyed if we drop this one.

Make it stop lol
 
I wouldn't be surprised to see Visentini play, it would be asking a lot of Lord to lead the forward line and provide ruck back up after such a long time out and a few sanfl games where the ball hardly made it to the forward line. He'll be cooked by half time.

Sticks Visentini has a bit of forward craft so could provide a bit of a rest for Lord forward as well.
They'll probably make him sub given how horrifically we use it.

11 touches and 3 goals in the first quarter vs the Giants last year. Then had 5 touches and no score for the remaining 3 quarters.

Think we can write that quarter down as a flash in the pan - he's not a forward.
He has kicked a couple of goals this year.
Not the worst kick in the side and hasn’t been as good down back.
We moved Darcy Perm up forward and he has had some good games.
Trying something different is better than the same old each week.

If you watch the presser he was taking the piss. He actually asked the journo if we won that 2013 game or not.

That’s what’s hard here sometimes. People got such an agenda to kill, things are misquoted and misinterpreted.
 
Dropping both Dixon and finlayson is a bold strategy. I was expecting one of them but not both.

I couldn't believe it when last game they brought Dixon in and left Finlyason in the team. So I think it should have been Dixon for Finn last game and now Lord for Dixon.

Making Lord or Dante Sub on ground that looks like it would have taken 50ml of rain in the preceding few days would really take the prize for dumbest use of a sub eva.

But as you say it never ceases to amaze me how poorly we use that rule. I think we make the guy whom we can't quite decide whether we want in the team or not - the sub.
 
I've enjoyed how there has been a ruck option on the emergency list practically every week and this board goes oooo maybe!?! Everytime
Dante won't be playing
I also reckon Mcentee will be on the pine for Wines

Kingsley will no doubt tag Butters, hope what’s his name has a counter plan for that .

I feel for Williams rotting in the SANFL all year, when he performed really well last year. He's had to sit back and watch Burton stink it up week after week. Williams should have been playing that position.

Eh, to be fair when Williams has played he's looked painfully slow. Not sure what's going on with him but he's had issues with fitness in the past.
