Great to see Gwilt back!
Will be a handy inclusion if he plays.
Great job Jimmy in getting back so quickly.

[WinnersOnly]

Can't believe Gilbert has maintained his position!

[georgie girl]

Great to see Gwilt back but hopefully not at the expense of Armo or Farren. Think they were both fantastic against Carlton.

[Leo.J]

Wouldn't Wilkes go out?

[Sobraz]

I would think Armo and Ray are locks after last weeks game, so assuming theres no change to the on field 18, its 2 from: Gwilt, Cripps, Siposs, Newnes and Wilkes

I'm guessing Cripps and Siposs (sub)..

Cripps to provide more run on the bigger ground...

[MC Gusto]

nice inclusions!!

[defacto]

whens the team fly out?

[SainterK]

Can't believe Gilbert has maintained his position!

Has he?

Guess we won't know until 90 mins before.

I hope we see the Fro running around at Subi

[Old Mate]

Still no Ledger, not even as an emergency. They must have some sort of plan for him...Get plenty of minutes into his legs with Sandy or something. Is he unfit cos his form has surely warranted a position at least in the 25?

[bigcarl]

Wouldn't Wilkes go out (for Gwilt)?

You'd think so. Gilbert was disgusting, but I think it would be a mistake to drop him.

[gosaints]

Why would Wilkes go out for Gwilt??? Ones a forward and ones a defender.

[SainterK]

I guess the midfield was VERY strong against Carlton, be hard to make a change.

[bigcarl]

Gwilt has played forward before and he's a much more complete player now than he was then. But the plan may be to drop Wilkes, play Sipposs as the third tall and ease Gwilt in as the sub

Id play Ledger before Cripps. Can not understand how a fast player who wins his own ball and who has demonstrated good form cant get a run.

[Stillwaiting]

Good ins, great to see Gwilt back and Newnes back, at least in the squad.

[borderbarry]

Dont be surprised if Gwilt is'nt given another week at Sandy.

[Stillwaiting]

Dont be surprised if Gwilt is'nt given another week at Sandy.

I think that would be a wise move, we need to make sure he is 100% before he plays in the seniors.

Cripps to provide more run on the bigger ground...I love Gwilty, but I can't see a place for him this week. On the big ubi ground, we need somone with pace as the sub.

Close to the mark Sobraz. I love Gwilty, but not as a sub on the big Subi oval. It's Siposs and Wilkes for me.

Why was Gilbert disgusting last week? Because of the early mistake? He set up a number of goals (including the last one to Stanley as well as Jack's in the 3rd) and he's a defender. How many goals did their key forwards kick again? Why this continual Gilbert bashing? Is it because Raph hasn't made it back yet?

With you 100%. He won the game for us in the last quarter against Collingwood and again last week. I see him as the ideal supersub. I think it is simply a case of who do you drop? I think he would have come in last week but they saw Ray as being a better match-up. At least Peake and Polo are never to return...

I just thought he was particularly poor. The worst I've seen him. But, as I said, IMO it would be a mistake to drop him. His upside is too good to ignore. At his best, he's in our top three or four most important players. That's how important I rate him

[slider]

I think Jimmy will play at Sandy, buuuut would he be a chance to be the sub? work him back into it? i think hes a chance.

[BigMart]

Gilbert lowered his colors last week to A.Walker. He was shocking really, he has struggled since 2010.
