Agreed but Angwin was playing defence so Cumming isn’t replacing him. Perryman is replacing Angwin.

You'd have to think one of Thomas, Bedford or Ward (likelihood in decreasing order).

Cumming was on managed time last week, so probably at least 1 more week away

It’s a big call but I’m not totally against it. I feel like HH has had a pretty underwhelming season so far. For a guy who’s touted as a great field kick, he butchers it a fair bit.

Interesting stats. Of course, Cogs is not the only player we've been missing from games that were lost:
www.espn.com.au
How much better can the Giants be with Stephen Coniglio?
It's not like this is a foreign concept to the Giants -- Coniglio having not played since sustaining a shoulder injury in the club's win over Geelong in Round 11 -- but the star midfielder missed three matches earlier in the season, too, and the team is 6-2 with him, and 3-6 without him this season. That's not to say GWS' fortunes rest solely on Coniglio's shoulders (pun not intended), but you also can't doubt his line-breaking ability has been missed, and injecting him back in the mix with Tom Green, Josh Kelly, Finn Callaghan and Callan Ward makes Adam Kingsley's engine room a touch more formidable. He was listed as a test last week and came up short, but if he returns this week, keep an eye on that midfield brigade.
Are the Dockers the team to challenge Sydney? Have North turned the corner?
What's the big question your AFL club must answer in Round 16? Will the Dockers be the team to challenge the Swans? Have North finally turned the corner? Can the Eagles bring the Hawks back to earth?

Yes, his line-breaking and fast feet are important but his defensive aspects are just as vital.

Good to see people are respecting the Cogs more and more.

Finn Callaghan had been quietly getting better imo as well.
I think Cogs and perryman are a must. Probably Jones for some Zip.
Not sure I agree with Ash coming out though.
Will be tough for selection committee which is a good thing.
We lose so much structure without Taylor, but lucky that Buckley is back in there.
Must win game this one

Three big ins - great news. I wonder if Jones will get a game as well, possibly as the sub?

Pretty much only one person thinks Ash should come out after 1 game back and signing on this week.
No concept of what's going on.
Having Cogs and Perryman gives us so much poise and sound decisions making.
Cumming is cumming off restricted time in the VFL but will be handy on the wing so Finn can continue to get inside mid time.
I think we could find some more scoring power this weekend with better entries.
Snooze back in the forward line for me.

Going to be interesting team selection. Didn’t think cumming could force his way back in. If he is playing wing then it puts a lot of pressure on XO, Thomas and Snooze
King as post match spoke about players making the same errors and snooze disposal hasn’t been great so maybe he is under the pump

Glad they see Cumming in our best 22. Couldn’t agree more. He will fit nicely on the right wing.
Pez and Cogs back are two big ins. Two of our best defensive minded players who use the ball extremely well.
There are no excuses this week.

Yep, it just has to be a win this week.

3 big ins.
I suspect 3 of Angwin, Thomas, McMullen and Peatling drop out, and the other being the sub. (unless Cumming is the sub due to managing game time)

So from last week's line-up, I'm guessing:
IN: Coniglio, Perryman and Cumming.
OUTS: Peatling, McMullin and Angwin.
I'm not overly impressed with Ash and Himmelberg in the side at the same time right now.
Although, now that there's a timeline for Taylor's return, perhaps that will give the impetus for the entire backline to sort themselves out.
One will go when Taylor is fit, so the next few weeks will be very interesting.

XO the real unlucky one but given kingas pointed comments about making the same mistakes.
Is ward any chance of being the sub? Whether this week or coming weeks as a way to manage his load and make sure he is cherry rip for finals. Allows cumming and cogs to be straight swaps across the middle

With the exception of Sam Taylor, this is a full strength team now, so the time has come to get on a roll or else we won’t even be playing finals.
XO pretty stiff to miss on recent form.

Someone had to go. He's done everything right to stick around and make a spot his sooner rather than later though, which is leaps and bounds above where he was at the start of the year.
