The Camrys have been hot and cold since the bye but they’ll be keen to get back in the 8 you’d think and we’ll need to play more than 2 quarters

Daicos a risk to be out with concussion but if he pulls up maybe no changes... Doesn’t sound like De Goey or Moore will be rushed back

Emergencies were Broomhead, Brown, Crocker, Noble

Roughhead provided a target and took a defender I guess but I felt he was missed in the backline more than he added value to the forward line. I would prefer to see him back next game I think

So maybe Noble in and Daicos out if he doesn’t pass the test? Otherwise no team changes

[WarrenerraW]

There were many sore, tired bodies from yesterday's game, so this week should be about recovery and getting those players right for Saturday.

Daicos would be the only injury concern you'd think with concussion otherwise I think we'll go in unchanged.

I don't like Roughead up forward because it effects our defensive structure - even if he takes a key defender. He's of greater use down back and we'll need him to match up on the likes of walker and jenkins.

I hope we turn up and go up a gear, not expecting to play two quarters and get over the line like we did yesterday. Now's the time to put the foot down and start making statements. We've got a potential top 4 spot to play for, or home final while they're pushing to sneak into the 8 as well.

Will be an interesting encounter but I think we're good enough and mature enough to hold them out and get over the line in what will be a tight contest for most of the day. Winning form is good form and that's all we need to do from here: keep winning.

[Mr Miyagi]

Yeah they switched off in the 4th qtr for their recovery sessions and the Adelaide game.

Expect a hard tag on Grundy again next week, like Gawn sacrificing his game to tag him yesterday. And expect a lot of media about Grundy's contract talks.

[Clifton Hill-Billy]

I didn't think Daicos did enough to hold his spot even if he is cleared. His first instinct is to kick backwards or handball sideways and doesn't break the lines like Brown. We need more out of Elliott and WHE against the crows. Moore and JDG would be handy, but I doubt either will get up. Roughead up forward didn't work needs to go back. Noble in Daicos out.

[RudeBoy]

I like the way you're thinking CHB.

[Pete 70]

I know this is the wrong thread but we just had the 1980 grand final with that last bloody bitchmond goal. Still the blues kept it close Brions to beat tigs and we get 4th most likely against pussies

[RudeBoy]

Please, please please Bucks, don't set us up for a September campaign with Madgen at full back and Roughead up forward. Sure, we got away with it against the toffs, but I shudder at the thought of Madgen playing on Hawkins, Lynch, Reiwoldt or Kennedy. It's got disaster written all over it.

[Pies2016]

Sloane now done with concussion. That’s a start.

AFL website claims it's an eye injury.

Nicksters' forgotten man-child Fogarty has 5 goals.

And only one VFL game left in the year.
