    We are 11th in attack (1668 pts for) and 7th in defense (1521 pts for) so middle of the pack. GWS are 6th in attack (1781 pts for) and
    4th in defense (1479 pts against).

    You are correct Nico - Jones is a bit of a turn over king and also tends to get pinged for running too far or holding the ball. I think that indicates that he lacks composure, especially in traffic or when we are under the pump. However, when he is on the burst with his run and carry, he looks pretty spectacular and certainly can kick a goal. So I agree with you on that one - maybe put him on Whitfield?

    Jones and COR for me, we need run against GWS and these two have it.
    Adam Curley agrees with you. From the AFL 'In the Mix' article on the website:
    Verdict: Jones and O'Riordan for Johnson and Smith. - Adam Curley

    Reg rarely plays on Cameron. Much too quick. Rampe usually gets the call.

    Cameron always toasts us on the lead, no matter who plays on him. Defending leading forwards isn't Aliir's strength. Melican is our best at it. In his absence, reckon they'll give Rampe another shot at him.

    Close up the leading space, simples!

    If Reg does play, they'll need him for when Lobb goes forward, unless we assign Sinclair to follow him.

    The problem I have with Reg playing seniors is the dilemma it poses if, by some miracle, we make the GF and play Richmond. It would be hard to drop Reg for a GF, but he really shouldn't play against Richmond.
