Given the circumstances of Harry's injury and Cameron's departure, to win this now would be a huge effort. Herculean in fact.

All in the mindset. A few years ago we went to Geelong to face the impossible (Herculean) task, we won. Its all up to the leaders and coaches to get their heads right. We have tools. we have the game plan, just need to execute (Sorry Leon, no pun intended). It funny, I'm now more confident with the difficult games than the ones we should win. I had penciled this in for a loss some time ago, I'm not so sure now.

Bring in Mirkov to ruck and play TDK as a permanent forward in McKay's place.

It is time, time for Mirkov to be thrown the challenge, he's a big boy, knows our system and will just need to compete.
Being that tall he should win his fair share of taps. JSOS will help around the ground.
if Mirkov is athletic he will survive.
TDK to lead in the opposite direction to Curnow, we don't don't want friendly fire injuries by them flying for the same ball.
This seems to keep the team settled.
Either Cameron knows he has lost the players or he knows admin were undermining him. How GWS turn up might show us which one it is.

GWS', deep, hard running midfield has caused us a lot of problems in the past. Coupled with Mummy owning our rucks we never got enough first use. I was reasonably confident until H getting injured and Cameron getting the rrrs.

Don't want to see TDK become Preuss' biatch...he'll need help, but I don't know who from. I think Plowman is an OK match up for the angry man, especially in the air. At deck level he's going to need assistance, but that's team defence isn't it?

I wouldnt let Plowman anywhere near Greene except shaking hands before and after the game.

I agree but Greene would kick eight on Williams or Newman, who'd be off chasing kicks. At least Plowman would stay in Greene's postcode.

Our very good attack and midfield has to some extent masked our defensive performance which has only been so so IMHO.
We currently are the ninth best defense in the comp for points scored against and to be a good finals team I think you need to be much better than that. Losing Harry is bad but workable, losing Weitering who holds our defense together would render us done for the season IMO.

Lewis Young out as well under HS protocols....fark me. Will be the shortest team we've fielded in many years.

Wonder how hard GWS will work for Cameron's last game. That can go 2 extreme ways.

Who'd wanna bet on this game? Could be a 10 goal game each way.

Cameron out of GWS could make their performance go either way.
We'll be fielding a side with the average height of about 5'3"......but are in form.

Just need to dominate the midfield.
