    AG,
    I am in agreement with you, but you are not going to make many changes to a winning team. For mine Campbell for Robert’s who looked a little tired last weekend. Parks to miss again but he will get his chance.

    Pittonet is most likely out ? Finger surgery
    I think Parker comes in for Wicks. Parker deep forward whilst Papley gets cincotta tag. Parker helps to get around weitering.
    Jordan will have to take on Walsh and hopefully Rowbottom and Grundy together handle Cripps in the middle. We get these three contests right we should be better than them. But again, Carlton is ver strong

    I agree Francis looked a little shaky early in the game missing a couple of targets, but as the game progressed he settled down and did his job. I should also add Gulden missed a couple early on, but then more than made up for it.

    I agree that Francis is an excellent mark but he is not quick to react and gets lost in many of the ground ball contests. This puts him under pressure in most situations which exaggerates his inability to hit targets. Even in set plays, such as after frees or marks, he and Grundy, it must be said, lack poise with the footy. This does make him less valuable than other players and, in my opinion, Fox and Roberts are more capable.

    In: Parker, Campbell
    Out: Papley, Roberts (both managed - Papley seems to be carrying an injury and Roberts needs a spell)

    Parker to spend some time in the forward line. Campbell across half back.

    Jack Martin strained a calf at training and will be out for our game.

    Against "premiership favourites Sydney" apparently!

    The Brownlow odds are similar. Heeney is at $4.50, followed by Daicos, Merrett and Cripps, at around the $7.00 - $7.50 mark.

    Of course, there's a long way to go and a run of injuries can quickly change the outlook, but I think our current favouritism is deserved.

    Good change - Roberts has been fantastic but his form has tapered and I hope Campbell carry’s in his confidence he has had in the 2s last few weeks

    Probably in the middle of what selections everyone expected

    50/50 Parker-didn’t make it
    80/20 Campbell in and he did
    50/50 Francis to stay in the starting side and he did
    80/20 Robbo to get a week off after looking tired and he did
