Changes v Hawks

Hard to follow Hardwick's selection policy he's wanted to play 3 talls all year in the forward line and when he gets the opportunity he brings inConca who had 28 possessions last week in a ordinary effort a lot of junk sideways kicks He has a major flaw going back to his soccer days he always looks sideways or backwards where he gets the ball

And he'll be given a chance against a much more appropriate option than Hawthorn. But let's be honest, without Reiwoldt, our 3-pronged tall forward line would be crap. A few times this year the 3rd tall has been a passenger. Our success has not been our firepower kicking goals but our excellent defence. We havent kicked 100 points since Round 7 and that was 105 and the only 100+ when playing 3 talls. We're 13th for average goals kicked per game this year.
Dea Thomas foley are the only guys (non first year) who haven't played.
5 x 1st year players haven't played: short Castagna butler McKenzie soldo
Arnott Petterd drummond (1game each) are the only guys who haven't played in a win.

Fitness crew usually put a power of work into the players before they can come back from long term injuries. After that it becomes an issue of match hardness n managing them through fatigue late in games.Rancey18 said:
Concareter has had a couple of managed games back apparently without issues, so now it's simply a matter of fingers crossed n play. They're elite athletes n pushed to the edge of what's physically capable, some just roll on n on, while some just keep twanging. Can only hope Reecey finally starts to get on a roll.
Side selected for wind and rain.
As much as I hate to say it, three talls might be fanciful at the G.
Vickery will relieve Ivan in the ruck.
I think we'll play a high press like we did last week.
Territory football is effective in the wet.
We can knock over this mob.

Like the wet that drove everyone's focus pre the Freo game. Let's leave the weather prognostications to the BoM and concentrate on our area of expertise, the RFC.
We need to have our best game for the year to win.
We played a blinder in the 1st Q agin freo in WA and in the 2nd half agin the swans. Last week played solid footy with the rub of the green going against us agin freo, same agin West Coast.
Combine most of our best players having a blinder, playing out most of the game and the chips falling our way and we will win.
Thats a lot of things that need to align.
We are due, it hasnt all fallen into place since we last beat them. Since then we have only seen it all click in patches. Game plan and structure along with the side maturing has gotten us this far. Could be the moment where it all comes together.

Righto so now that BoM have improved their forecast ;D you wonder why we're going in with just the two KPFs.
The extra mid could be to help win stoppages. I still think we're gonna press hard, try and beat Hawthorn at their own game.
Very, very hard to do.

If we come out to play, we get the 4 points, we at the very least take the game to the death.. If we are 5% off, the hawks (playing at their best) will be 2 goals better a quarter - 8 goal loss !!!
Have not lost in our indigenous or away strip this year... let that continue tonight!
