The blues have gone with Cuningham in for White, should really boost their mid field, Cuningham has a real burst of speed around the packs, clean hands and uses it well - still working on his game but looks a real prospect.

Yeah I would have thought this was a perfect game to unleash him. Would give us a great injection of energy and commitment in the midfield, particularly with robbo and rocky out. I predict the Crows will tag Beams out of the game, smash the rest of our midfield and run away by 80+

I don't know how well Soldo will perform up forward, but it can't be worse than Todd Elton.

Bloody emergency again! That's frustrating. One our only kids who genuinely loves and gives a contest.

Sydney back to 80% this week, not easy from here but as some teams start to stumble, they are starting to get it right. If the get in the eight I would back them to finish the job this time

Good to see we've (finally) gone for Ivan Soldo to contribute at centre half forward - I'll be really interested to see how he goes in that position and as forward/ruck. Bolton is an excitement machine from all accounts, but in his early games I'm looking more to his defensive pressure, which I'm told is also impressive. Good to see Prestia and Lloyd back in, but still no Miles?? We've been losing contested possession every week and that is Miles' strength, and his form in the twos is good.

No complaints with any of our outs. If Schache is leaving he shouldn't play another game all season. Make a statement. Bewick of course is better out than in & even Rocky was never coming back from a popped shoulder so quickly. Agree too that Beams shouldn't be rushed back in. Where's Mathieson?

Cats / Dogs- huge in's both side. Dogs naming of team already indicates they are more desperate this week. Saints / Swans- big in's for the Swans. Not sure if it's enough to tip it their way. Gaints / Tigers- Giants get Greene back and another Debutant. Massive game for them. Lions / Crows- Can't say I'm surprised by Schache omission. With Beams injury history there's no way I would of been rushing him back for an absolute towelling by Adelaide. Pies / Hawks- Massive outs for the Hawks. Going to take someone special to knock off the pies. Bombers / Eagles- not much to see here, other than Petrie possible return big for Eagles ruck division. Dees / Kangas- WAITE Back is huge. Big game for Dees. Dockers / Blues- Stephen Hill back for me backs it a Dockers game to lose.
