Last year, it was a brilliant performance against Jason Akermanis which earned Bryce Gibbs his NAB Rising Star nomination. Will they play this matchup again, or; will Gibbs once again fill a role previously done by Bannister, viz. playing on Brad Johnson, or; will he be given a non-defending midfield role?

With Bentick out of the team (I hate it when they do that), my hope is that Carrazzo moves into the midfield; the Dogs don't really have anyone in their forward-line suited to Carrazzo. Meanwhile, if Gibbs takes Aker again, he should hopefully get near the ball a lot like he did on Goodes last week.
