I'm glad Cloke isn't playing (is an emergency though) as it would be just our louck for him to hit form and kick a bag. We're a bit short-on down back.

Those days are over I reckon Cookie.

Yeah you're probably right GTC. I still have memories of Watson being thrown to the lions in his debut for us when he was played on Cloke.

Agree, I cant remember how many spuds we would run back into form every flamin' week. It was guranteed, blokes who did nothing for weeks on end would kick bags and dominate against us. As I have said, good defences are what good teams are built around. Yes we a down a couple of defenders this week but the team defence mentality still exists. Whats the latest buzz stat at the minute? Something like average 100 pts for and 86 pts against and youre a contender.

Plowman will have his work cut out for him.

Yep...Cox, Moore and White is a fair bit of size....Simon White will have to play down back but that will be two undersized defenders.
I  think we might have trouble with Fasalo too...been in good form and one of those smaller to mid types who is very strong in the air, throw in Blair who always seems to do well vs us and the Pies
have the weapons to hurt us down forward.
Its says something about Weitering when we look undermanned without him...
Dont like horses first up from a spell and I reckon Walker without any footy would be a liability if played down back and I hope he starts forward...
