Good to see Harrison Jones back running well.

no changes.
Would want to keep a winning formula before messing with personnel too much.
And his organisation…I’ve heard this mentioned often by commentators, but not many on here seem to hear it. Ling mentioned how important he is to the young group during the call. Scott wanted him to remain captain.

Port AWAY or Tigers who we havent beaten since Dreamtime 2014 ?
Dont count on it.
That 6 week stretch could get ugly.
I hope we have built some confidence by then with early wins.

What a rude return to earth this game will be.
After a 10 goal win against Hawthorn in front of 70,000 at the MCG, it’s back to Etihad for 27,000 against a made up club.

Good luck playing Weller after his long term injury with no game time at all.
Not sure him being back will help much.
Though you’d expect they’d bounce back after their poor effort last week.

There will be an upset along the way no one will tip us to win and we will prove the doubters wrong we seem to play better as the underdog
I agree in that we’ll probably sneak a win (maybe 2) in that lot, just found it strange you picked those 2, as we’ve had massive trouble against Rich and Port recently.

To be fair to Weller, he has always come across as an extremely fit individual. Aside from some slight footy rust, I wouldn’t doubt that he’s in ripping nick
He’s a very good player as well. Great kick of the footy and a gun linebreaker

Only change is Walla. Played sub role perfectly. At some point he needs to run out full games so VFL seems logical. Brad will manage this carefully so as not to derail his comeback. Maybe Munny in VFL alongside Walla mentoring will be it? Walla kicks 5 and runs out games for a couple of weeks?
Happy if he plays 1s this week but he’ll benefit greatly from significant game time in the 2s.

My only concern with Tippa as sub is his ability to play more game time if we have an early injury. Need to balance some VFL game time too to keep his conditioning up. Maybe one more sub at AFL level then a couple of vfl games to get ready for AnZAC day.
