Looking forward to this challenge, and the Sunday arvo rematch at the SCG in a few weeks.

I guess the main interest will be to see how Menzel fits in. Hope he goes well. There's sure to be commentary around our recruit from them, versus their recruit from us

How about Longmire vs Scott?

Who will Clarke go to? Kelly?
Who will Hewett match up on? Selwood maybe?
That new Rohan kid of theirs will be a tough one to defend given his speed and marking ability.
Also if "Reckless" Dane Rampe plays on Tom Hawkins and they also play Danger forward it could get interesting.

Got a feeling our GMHBA streak is going to be in danger this weekend.

Watching Rohan will be fascinating.

Watching Rohan will be fascinating.

More likely heartbreaking.

Clarke has tagged the outside midfielder in the past 2 games, and this would indicate he will be tagging Mitch Duncan rather than Tim Kelly who plays more on the inside.

[Sandrevan]

I was thinking about who Clarke would play on - probably Tim Kelly.

Rohan will be an interesting match-up. Perhaps COR; he's quite fast.

Lets hope he doesn't end up on McPoint

He's fitting in very well at the restaurant I'm at, having dinner with his family. His brother is the spitting image. Go well Dan

More likely heartbreaking.

I think that’s a likely outcome - although I might even cheer him on.

I wonder what the reception will be like from his former teammates.

I'm heading off in a little under two hours to Kardinia Park, our second 'home' ground......should be a good game. I think we'll do ok. Cats are due for a loss and who better to give them one.

[Ralph Dawg]

Thurlow must be the travelling emergency, didn't play in NEAFL.

Cats R.Stanley out Zac Smith in
Swans no change

[Flying South]

Considering the cold weather we've had down south this week, it's quite a reasonable evening for footy. Mills warming up with defenders again.
