^Amazingly prescient, WL. Virtually all your recommendations have been implemented (we will wait tomorrow to see if Sidey is the sub). Now we know who to blame if we lose tomorrow.

JDG Rested, good idea , get him refreshed for Pendles 400th, logical choice.

Just need to win and get some confidence back, no matter how ugly it might be.

We've looked devoid of confidence in the past few weeks.

^ True its confidence, its mindset, any win will do, but hopefully, a decent 30+ point one, even if it is a scrap, just get the victory. We cannot go 0-5, no way Jose, this is a must win.

The Bombers losing leaves the door open but we have to win every game and hope others drop games.

the irony from here, if we do win every game we are a good chance to go back 2 back

By my reckoning, we could make the 8 even if we lost another game (probably to the Swans), but certainly we'll need to win 4 out of the remaining 5. That must start today, with a demolition of the Tigers, to get our confidence back. We have the players to beat any team, but we've somehow lost our mojo. We can quickly get that back with a good win today. Fwiw, I reckon 'Smokin'' Joe Richards will play a blinder today and kick 3 goals.

Pies by 36 pts.

For me Cox back in is the biggest change. He allows a lot more flexibility in the forward line and will bring the smalls into the game. Watch out for Schultz, Hill and Richards to get a few. This also allows Elliot to roam out a bit and for Mc Stay to be the big lead up.

The other advantage is around the ground with Cameron able to take a break more often and even rest up forward.

The kick outs have been a worry for a few weeks and maybe with Mc Stay, Cameron and Cox able to roam a bit there will be more targets. This is one area where Mihoceck was so valuable.

Richards out (illness). Sullivan in.
