Cotchin and Houli come in for Egg & Ross (I think that is almost a certainty).
Nank (if fit) for Soldo (needs a rest)
Higgins maybe for George (poor game but not many opportunites)
I actually was pretty pleased with that performance. We stayed in the game by being efficient up forward (something we haven't done all season) and we were playing on a ground that suits us about as much as Geelong (no width) hard to get out of backline.
We go close to breaking even on the clearances on a bigger ground (Gabba | Metricon) and we win that by 6 goals+
Should be able to account for GC and Bombers over next two - that will have us back in top 4)
Apart from the Darwin game, we may well play the rest in Qld now. We can't go to Perth to play WCE | Freo as all of our remaining opponents have already played them. I reckon we start favourite for all remaining games. (I think we are better placed than this time last year).
Only have to win 9 in a row for flag (4/6 will probably get us top 4, 5/6 definitely will), maybe a doddle after last season! (We should be a better team each week (barring fresh injuries) - Prestia, Astbury, Edwards, Nank, over next 3-4 matches
