Team changes v port

Give Edwards a rest.
He would have been on the cans after the game.
If he is anything like me now, it’ll take him days to recover from a night out.
 
In: Sampson, Brown
Out: Miller, Grimes

MJR to stay as super sub.

I like Balta down back and I just can’t come around Miller being selected as second ruck when Sampson has been so good in the VFL this year.

Grimes has been playing small so happy to replace him with a small in Brown. If not Brown, I’d bring in Stack or Mansell to play that role.
 
We have no chance of winning as Steve Motlop not playing ;) we will miss his 3 disposal zero goals bath given to him by Rioli.

Nobody should be thinking this is a guaranteed win.
Like us, Poort's form over the past month has been far better than the win loss ratio suggests. Their results have been good against top 4 teams.
Couple that with being back on their own deck, this presents another big challenge in spite of some fantastic wins against them there in recent years.
I was happy that they lost this week because it snuffed out there finals chances so hoefully they take the opportunity to experiment a little but it still won't be easy.


In:
Rioli Jnr

Out:
Grimes
not a guaranteed win, however, our forward line is looking very good. 4 keys (Lynch, Jack, Shai, Cumbo) pace MJ, another tall if required Balta or Short, Edwards, Graham, Ross. Very flexible.

yes need another mid, both our forward & back lines looks settled, plus our centre line is working well. Have options to switch around players (Ruck, Forward, Back)

Would love Stack in the side but there is no sign from the MC he is even close.
 
I really want Dow to be good, and he has great dancing feet, but his disposal is just awful.

Bring in MRJ for Grimes, but time to unleash Stack as the medi sub. Provides coverage for multiple spots in case of injury.

He's withering away in the magoos and becoming a VFL footballer if they don't manage him better.

This is what is said on the HS web site.
Thomson Dow (29 disposals, nine clearances) may once again come into the selection frame, as will Jason Castagna (18 disposals, two goals
Please, no Castagna!!!
