I notice Sam Murray has been omitted this week, which belies his stats at least: averaging 21 disposals - 23 last week, with 6 marks (0 tackles though). Quick Twitter search suggests a mix of surprise and reference to his increasingly poor disposal.

Murray out makes me feel better about trading him although watching him for the Pies I couldn't see who he would displace to get a game for us.
Notice Dunkley dropped for the Dogs along with Wallis, I must say I find their ins and outs each week intriguing, unusual club the Bullies.
A number of important games this week, including ours, be a good weekend watch but another ordinary Friday night game, the AFL has got so many of these badly wrong this year.
I find Murray's omission a but confusing but if he's giving up the ball all the time......fair enough I suppose.
I agree 707, the Bullies are an unusual club indeed.....their coach, a confusing unit.
I mentioned this on the "Caro on Goodes" thread but will mention it here as well. Adam Goodes is being interviewed by Waleed Aly on The Project tonight. I'll be watching that one.....
I find it hard to have a preference as to the winner tonight - strong dislike of both!
I hate both.
They are Collingwood, and there is Eddie - one of the worst people to ever exist.
But I can�t look at the Dogs without thinking of the 22 players and three cheats in yellow stealing a flag. I hope every single one of them gets badly injured, loses all their money after developing a gambling habit, gets ditched by their wives and ends up living under a bridge eating cat food.
A Pies win - though in a close game that gives Eddie a coronary would be ideal.
I used to like the Bulldogs - that is, until the 2016 GF. Now, I hope they lose every game. They played well in Q1 on Friday night but something inside me thought 'no they will not be able to keep it up for 4 quarters and Collingwood will win'. The Bulldogs are cellar dwellers this year, last year they didn't make finals. It just shows that 2016 was an aberration. But why did we have to be wrong end of this - why wasn't it Hawthorn. Hang on a minute - Hawthorn did get shafted in the 2016 semi vs the Bulldogs.
What happened to Bogan Bevo's prediction of a Bulldogs 'Dynasty' after the 2016 gf?
The 2nd round pick we got off Collingwood for Murray dictates that every time they play I barrack for them to lose. I hope they come last and our 2nd rounder is number 19. It's not going to happen but that is what I barrack for.
Anyone watching this game? Unbelievably the free kick count only favours the Dogs by two.....at times tonight I've been thinking I'm watching the 2016 GF. Dogs getting frees they shouldn't, getting away with throwing, getting away with dropping the ball and interpretations that are the opposite of reality.....in favour of the Dogs. Effing unbelievable!
