Last season it was our forward line that was decimated and this season it’s the backline.

[skeptic]

From what of hear of Battle, it’s a knee. I reckon he may be ok. Fingers cross Sincs if back too.

The only other suggestion I have is that Coops could go back for a bit if needed but obviously he’s not key position size

[Yorkeys]

Hawkins & Cameron would be laughing.

From the way Sinclair speaks in interviews & also I think it was Misson or our conditioning person. The 5 day break between the Geelong & Collingwood match casts doubt on Sincs playing round 1. The only round Sinclair has stated he will be playing is Round 2. Says he’d like to play round 1 but he also mentions the 5 day break between the 1st & 2nd round. So I think the hints are out there - that’s the way I read it.

[SaintPav]

Cordy can take Hawkins like he did last time. I don’t think there’s a huge difference between the two.

Howard and trainer....Not the look of concern

If injured appears too happy

Surely this is prior to injury

[The Fireman]

Our defence won’t be a worry

[Yorkeys]

Our defence won’t be a worry

Orr, may I worry? No Sincs, no Webster, No Dougie. Just a worrier I guess.

Relax mate ..defence is our major strength atm

Wilkie is sort of like a napoleonic leader back there

Isn't that a pic from the Dogs match assimilation?

Howard played in the RED Stickman today, not the BLUE training top.

[BackFromUSA]

Wilson off a back flank may be an interesting rotation through the backline when Bonner and NAS need minutes off.

Garcia might be needed for cover as a small back if Stocker needs a rest / gets injured.
