Pretty early call to make. At least they've given us some time to make the trek across town

I would play Smooch on Garlett and Rampe on Betts. Dane can go with him and he is pretty good I the air and that is where Betts gets Smooch. Dre will get the third tall be it Robinson or someone else, they constantly switch their forward and back lines, as in Walker, Robinson, etc.
We need to make sure the roles of Mitchell and Parker are not at cross purposes, in other words not on ball at the same time if possible. Bird may have to play forward I think.
Tony A was terrible against Port, he botched almost everything he kicked. He is normally so good with his delivery but did not handle the conditions at all and seemed all at sea, pardon the pun I know it was wet.
In: Dre
Out: Tony A
Sub: Jude
A wet game in the tight confined spaces of the SCG and you want to bench Jude? There couldn't be a more perfect set of conditions for him
Probably Membrey or Towers. Ugg, Jude hasn't played well in either wet game this year. It is about what is happening now not what happened in the dark ages LOL. Jude has got 11, 12 & 16 in the wet so far for 1.1. He started the season really in hot form but has tapered off at this stage Ugg. He hasn't had any influence on the outcome of any wet game this year so far.
I think if the weather is fairly good I will make the trek out to Blacktown. The only problem I have is getting from the station to Blacktown Sports Park. I will look it up on line.
Given none of our injuries are to Jude type players....I think he should be sub...It's not a total demotion, it's a new role, just ask Gia at the Doggies.
Jude's not having the impact he used to, IMO, sub could be just the right move for him at this stage.
He has the smarts to have a real impact in the late stages. And if required early, due to an injury, that would be no problem for him.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
I agree with this.
I was thinking how a fresh Jude Bolton could have influenced the game against Port, coming on in the 4th qtr when the game was on the line. I think there is great value in bringing in an experienced player who knows what it takes to make an impact on a game. It's a big responsibility to give to a young inexperienced player like a Jed Lamb.
How often do you see a high profile soccer player subbed late into the game only to score the winning goal. The use of the substitute will evolve and the way the Dogs have used Gia is the way I think it is heading.
Are we confident we should win despite our injury toll? Or is our injury toll not as relevant to winning this match as our attitude and gameplan? I was dreading the Collingwood - Essendon - Crows stretch, and look what happened. I am hoping that the same result ensues.
Does B. Jack get a run in the wet if Jetta doesn't pull up? Wouldn't have thought we desperately needed another full time forward to cover Goodes, given the forward line hasn't been the problem, plus we have midfield firepower. Bit of run on a heavy track?

If we lose this game how is a top 4 position looking ?
