Article in the poowertiser says VB failed to come up at training, but that Bock trained well and is a possibility. Anyone who was at training that can comment?

Neil Craig on SEN before ruled Bock out as well.
****, that's a huge out against the Pies 
What's the go with VB, his back must be considerably worse than we initially expected?
Bocky, I'd give a run in the SANFL (assuming he can), and bring him back next week, if we make it, and if he makes it.

I honestly dont think thats a very big out. Shirley could do all that VB can do IMO.
I would say if vB and Bock are both out he would be very likely to play instead of Douglas
With VB out Shirley should come in for Douglas if he is fit.
Agree. Tough for Dougy, but I think we need one of VB or Shirley against Collingwood, more than we need Dougy.
In fact I'd almost go so far as to say that if it came to a choice I'd play Shirley before Bock against Collingwood.

So the 22 we play are fit healthy and firing on all 8 works for me,Besides cloke wont have any influence as he has only averaged 1.7 goals this year.The only influence he will have if he speaks to his CH brother on how to play the Crows in a Prelim
Nah! Go with the winners from the elim. they deserve that.

Agreed!
Cant wait to see your matchups Jen. No VB, no Shirley. Lets play Douglas on Didak, Dougy will kill him.

I hope so.
Shirls will tear Didiak a newy; whereas vB, whilst he still needs to be in the side, shouldnt be risked...and nor should Bock. We'll win without both of them this week anyway.

Look, I can see the benefits of Shirley against a side like Geelong where their midfield is top notch. Not saying that Didak doesn't need to be tagged but we do have Doughty. I'd much rather us play a more attacking (as in the previous weeks) style of footy than go negative. Then THEY have to worry about us and what we do.

Good point!
Shirley in for Dougy this week for mine. I reckon Shirls will play the prelim and granny as well.
Doughty on Didak.
Johncock on Davis.
Vince on Swan (big H2H battle).
Agree with these match-ups, but id Davis is playing in the middle i wouldn't want Johncock to follow him. Johncock has be absolutely awesome rebounding off the back line and I wouldn't use him to tag Davis all over the ground.
On the note, I don't see any point changing a team that has been winning by more the 10 goals in their last 2 games. I'd much rather keep Douglas in then bring Shirley in to be honest, especially because of the brand of footy we're playing at the moment.
Keep the same 22 and lets beat the pies.
