Not many surprises with the line-ups this week except for King out with an injury. The way he is playing at the moment we don't lose anything with Chambers coming in who always gives his all. Corey is a great inclusion as is Playfair for us, meanwhile Welsh is a decent inclusion that could give us a few worries.
The Crows have an excellent midfield with Ricciuto, Goodwin, Edwards & McLeod if he goes in there, with good young players like Thompson, Reilly & Mattner. We have to break even with their midfield and we should win. The likes of Bock & Rutten have been punching above their weight the last few weeks and it's time to bring them back to earth. Hart has discovered his form after injury problems. On paper the back 6 are pretty tall. The likes of Ablett, Chappy with Byrnes & Kelly drifting forward could trouble them.
Up forward is where we can stop them. It's been doing surprisingly well the last few weeks with McGregor unstoppable against Essendon. If our defense lifts and can cover the three talls in McGregor, Welsh & Biglands our smalls shouldn't have too much trouble with the young but dangerous Skipworth & Jericho.
The Crows midfield has been unstoppable the last few weeks, while we've been lazy & out of form. I expect a better performance from us but not enough to go down by 2-3 goals with the heat being on another interstate trip to the Gabba next Sunday.
