I’ll make a change for sure.’’

Elliott has selected Steve Rapira as his captain for Saturday night, impressed with how he’s trained recently.

‘‘It is an easy choice and I’m delighted for Steve,’’ Elliott said.

‘‘He demonstrated a bit of a cameo of what his footy is like during the pre-season. At the beginning of the pre-season he was battling with his body and I was scratching my head.

‘‘But the last three or four weeks his body has been fine and he’s focused on playing. He is going to be really hard to keep out of the team because he’s one tough kid.’’

As well as seeing which individuals step up, Elliott said he wanted to see how the team as a whole adapted to their new game plan.

‘‘We’re a new coaching staff and they’re going to have to adapt to a slightly new style of play,’’ he said. ‘‘What we’ve tried to do is come up with a style of play that suits them, not Matt Elliott’s style of play.

‘‘I know it’s all different when you get out on the field. The bestlaid plans can all go out of the back door when you get a punch in the face. We’ve got a fight plan, but we’ve got to see how that plan goes when you’ve been punched in the face a few times.’’
