Parish would help a lot in the mid vs Saints.

Heppell won’t be dropped, no point hoping.

Not sure Ridley will be ready this week, although I’ve named him.

Agree - Heppell wont be dropped - but if Ridley is right to go then Heppell will be ā€˜managed’

Langford and a resting ruck may be enough. With Parish in, likely Perkins spends more time in the forward line, like last year?

EDT: I don’t mind us playing a bit smaller in the forward line. It might force us to kick to a target more than the long, high ball, but also, Langford, Perkins and Stringer are strong in the air for their height. Also all good kicks.

Nup Laverde will come out for Ridley

Scott rates Heppell highly

Wright will be a big out this week. Wilkie and Battle are great intercept marks and can control the aerial battle without a big key forward down there.

I think Jones and Weidemann will cope just fine being the string bodied forwards crashing packs as they do.

OUT: Wright, Hind, Heppell, Laverde, Davey (sub)
IN: Caddy, Parish, Redman, Kelly, Roberts (sub)

I’d Ridley really back?

if hes close either this week or more likely against port. just hopeful.

Ins: Redman Kelly Caddy Roberts
Outs Laverde Heppell Wright Menzie

Davey Jn full game with Hind or Cox as sun
Roberts full game half forward/Wing coming from bench.

In the post game video, McPherson said Parish, Kelly and Redman would all play against the Saints.

Didn’t mention Ridley at all.

We’ll win.

And the talk in here will shift to making finals…

Wait for it.

We’ll know a lot more about how our season is going to go after this game.

Saints have a fair few out.

We should only have 2MP and guelfi out so no excuses on that front.

Saints’ running power could be what puts us to the sword.

We are coughing up a lot of scoring shots to the opposition even when we are dominating the middle.if the opposition get control of the middle we might cop an absolute shellacking.

Really disappointed with Caldwell last night. Squibbed the contest multiple times

High hopes is about right. Sadly, I think they will probably wipe the floor with us. We are in urgent need of a wake up call and this could be it.
