Yes but it is going to rain.............................................
 
I was hoping we could give Sam Banks a run but usually when a player is brought in for his first game there is some media on it. Probably rules Bauer out as well.
Bit disappointing as I would swap Banks and Sonsie.
Dow has to play, Prestia as well.
Cotchin and Miller the others out.

Cumbo and Sons dropped. Cotch rested.
Interesting thought about resting a coach.Who would we choose to take his place?What if that person performs better and the team is inspired?Would that also give the current coach some fire in the belly?
 
Side looks more balanced, especially down back.

Cumbo stiff, this is the game he kicks 5.

Based on the comments on last week’s VFL game by SteveMorris why would Hugo be picked ahead of Dow ?
I think Mr Dow Is history at the end of the year and VFL form is irrelevant to senior selection.

Nothing sore

Cotch did very little today at training it was basically a rest. Out managed, if he had been named and played 6 in a row his 300th would have been at Optus Stadium against Freo, however if he plays 6 in a row from next week it will be our Home game at 'G' against St Kilda.

Other options would be either home games against Hawthorn or Dee's later in the year.

I'm in the camp of Cotch deserves and we have to get him to 300 games, absolute legend of our club.

Another slow plodder ....at least Cumbo chased and added x factor and can kick multiple goals ....

The only thing I can think of is Hugo plays wing and Pickett forward again. Ross is named on the wing but needs to play in the guts
