OShea still lurking as an emergency, may yet play vs his old mob

Garlett.

His issue is application not ability which is why irrespective of the fact he isnt firing right now, I think he was well worth the effort we went to in order to get him.

He is having his first year back at the top level after a Hiatus and needs to be viewed as more draftee than mature recruit too.

x2.

THe bloke could be anything if switched on.

And has the ability to play forward or back.... I'd almost be tempted to trial him as our small running/line breaking back man ala the Yazz of yesteryear....

IF Casboult is fit enough to play, that will help us no end, as we had few options when Kreuzer was off last week. Rowe did as well as he could, and did manage to limit the damage, but even Silvagni had to go up in the ruck a couple of times. Having someone with a bit more idea would be a huge help.
If he doesn't come up and Kerr comes in, either Rowe or Kerr will have to do some ruck work. I don't like that.

Lots of changes , will be interesting to see how Murph fronts up injury wise, hope we don't repeat mistakes if he is not ready. I would like to see Rowe continue forward, he gave us some energy last week, which has been lacking.

On paper, a good team.

Would prefer Lang in there to Mullet....and obviously Phillips will need to somewhat nullify Ryder. And Phillips can bring some decent heat to the equation.

But, if we bring the Pies' vigour, we're a chance!

And we're due to snag a win (hoping the powers that be haven't told the players that be that the cue is firmly locked in the rack).

Weakest back six on record, Robbie Gray and Wind bag will be looking forward to this one.

Lamb will not, and should not, start back.....he's afaiaw never been anYthing aproaching A DEFENDER.

I'm presuming Mullet will be HBF...

Yep, playing Lamb back will have us accused of tanking.

And all that said, imagine you can swap out a few of the 22 for a fit Doc, Marchy, Plow and Willo (whom I think should be molded into a mid/wing ASAP).

Then throw a full preason fit Kennedy and Lang into the mix with a Shiel, Sloane and/or Gaff and I'd be darn happy!

We started the year with a full team except Docherty and we got smashed.

Bulldust we were down 1.5 players for three quarters against Richmond in round one and they've been dropping like flies ever since

O'Shea was a liability, Shaw looks to be in better form and can play at all.

Youre probably right EB but sometimes you just never know what they can pull out of the bag.
