The only alarming thing from the team lists for me today was Rischitelli's withdrawal for Gold Coast. Will this mean Ablett gets more attention and less of the ball? To add to this Ablett had a bruising encounter with Picken last week, copping a heavy knock on the hip in the last quarter (mind you he went back and slotted the goal from 55m straight after). Also a spanner in the works is the miserable weather in Perth this week, unlikely to change by Saturday afternoon. Could make for a scrappy contest between two probable bottom 8 sides.

Boyd is a pretty safe bet v Melbourne as it is, but I have a feeling Ablett's 130+ ability is affected by a weaker midfield around him. Your thoughts?

Don't think it will matter........ :-X

But the weather might though.

Swan v Hawthorn is tempting also but Hawks ability to hold posession makes them a difficult opponent for DT scoring.

I think I would avoid going any Collingwood players for captain this week. Boyd could be a good option, but Melbourne are in good form at the moment, and could run over the Doggies. It's a hard round to pick someone :(

ablett gets no1 tag no matter who else is playing alongside him so seems the safe option

Yeah I don't disagree on either of those points, the Bulldogs were average v Gold Coast. Mmm will probably stick with Ablett after checking the weather report tomorrow..!

No one worried about Rischitelli's withdrawal affecting Ablett's scoring?

I've gone with Murphy this week, but it's hard to pass over Gaz! If I had Gaz in my side I would probably be putting the C on him.

Ummm. I'm not. I think it means that GC will look for Ablett more as Risky isn't there.
