    With so many of the GWS small defenders out, I think there are a lot of opportunities for our small forwards to do some serious damage this week, as long as we can transition well out of defence and win some ball in the middle. This will definitely be helped if Kelly is out too. With all this in mind, I would be inclined to bring COR in for AJ and Jones in for Smith, with the aim being for speed and quick transition.

        I read that Nick Smith is out for 6 weeks with a hamstring tendon injury. Mostly, I feel sorry for him for probably missing out on one of his last shots at making another GF.

          Nick is not that old!, is he currently 29? Got a couple more seasons at least

            With the bye he'll be back for the granny!
            Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

              With Smith out Jones is a certainty, but I don't think we have missed his ill discipline one bit. I would play him off the wing or up forward where he can apply some run or pressure. From all reports Florent played Jones's role much better on Sunday. Interesting stat on Nathan Jones; 52% disposal efficiency with about 8 direct turnovers. Ring a bell?

                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:

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

                            Allir plays on him.

                              Yeah, two more max. Maybe 1.

                                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.
