A huge match this one and wouldbe the game of the day. Weather for the footy around the grounds is looking fine and a 20⁰ maximum temp. 

Yes shaping as a great contest. So far WP's form has not been what they would expect. maybe a bit of a hangover. We have seen that in the AFL with Geelong, who have moved past that and are now up there with the Saints and Pies as the form team. I expect WP to shake off that hangover, but hopefully not this week. Subi found some 4 qtr form and real intensity to beat CL in a very physical contest. WP are a much more mature, physically stronger team, so it shapes as a very intense contest. WP have a very experience mids unit and the best forward in the comp, so a massive challenge for a what is now a much younger less experienced Subi team.

SS it should be an intriguing contest with both teams having genuine claims for victory.Both sides have very good forward options,solid defences(although ours is a bit short) and hard working mid fields.I think it will be a case of the correct matchups and which team has the greater desire.Subi were very physical against CL and if they bring that on Saturday it will be a big step towards winning.Concerned on who is going to play on Hansen Jnr as he is very speedy(maybe Johnson) and I wouldn't mind betting Nelson will be tagged(possibly Morgan?).In any event should be a really close and enjoyable game.

Do Subiaco have someone who can limit Keitel ?
 

In a word...no. Before it would be Jordan Lockyer but now Henry Berenger will probably get the task. They'll need to make it a team exercise to have a spare coming over the top and put pressure on the Joondy mids so they don't give the chinless one an arm chair ride.

So what do you reckon BC - will you guys tag Nelson this week?

Yes...I think it's highly likely TF. You lot have quite a few quality mids but you can't tag everyone so you put your best tagger on the player likely to have the most impact and for me that's Nelson.

BC I think where you guys will have the biggest advantage this week will be in clearances.Our numbers are well down in that area this year and with Clarke rucking for you that will be our biggest challenge.It might even be harder if Giro comes back.Do you know if he will be available BC?

He has an ankle injury TF so not sure although he looked to be moving ok at the footy last weekend. He's not on crutches or anything so he could be a chance.

Thanks for that BC.
