Not even Carlton could be that stupid could they, that would reek of desperation. Out for 2 years, plays half a game in a scratch match and they throw him in to a game where our key forward is out and he would be the main target, surely not. Back the guys in that have been performing ok the last few weeks.
Every other team would do it to us and we would play their man into form.

He doesn't need to be on all game and he doesn't need to be the 'main target'.....

Having multiple targets is the right plan clearly, but Charlie would be way too swift for Ben McKay or Walker.....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Cripps to play FF is a no brainer. It's as obvious as making sure your COVID bus driver has been vaccinated and has a mask on.
Oh, ... wait a minute :o

Without H we are in real trouble. he has been the dominant forward of the year and we just don't have anyone else to do the job. Not to mention our stupid way of delivering the ball to our forwards.
Live Long and Prosper!

If they won't pick Chuck, play Kemp.

I've heard he's 195cm now, and we know he's just as competent forward as down back.

And an unknow commodity from the opponent's pov.

Kemp must have grown in the last couple of weeks  :)

I'd like to see him get a run soon and I think he has earned it.  He has done quite well against key forwards in the VFL but that's a long way from matching up against McKay and Walker.

To be fair to the lad, he should be given a similar role to his VFL role when he does make his debut.

Cripps, Silvagni and De Koning will get the job done  :)

Matthew Owies will come into the 22 while Lachie Fogarty has been named as an emergency.

Structurally or fwd line is limited. Let's hope Jack, Jack, Jack, Zac, Matt, and Eddie can keep the pressure on to create F50 stoppages. Can't see us with many marks i50.

Well this week will be a real test of our depth and ability of the coaches to move around the magnets well enough to eek out a win. Dont need anything pretty, just get the right result injuries or not.

This will tell us whether Teague can coach or not,  because this week he's going to have to move the magnets not set and forget.

Lets look at our KPF's depth chart..

1. McKay - Injured
2. C. Curnow - Injured
3. Casboult - Injured
4. McGovern - Injured
5. McDonald - Injured
6. Silvagni - playing.....but is also backup ruck.
7* TDK - Playing 1st ruck because, yep, Pittonet is injured.
8* Cripps - coming back from injury, and a midfielder, but perhaps our best option up forward......despite not being able to actually kick.


....and people say injuries are not an excuse and injuries do not lead to players playing out of position.  :o

They're in very good form, MBB. Their ladder position is not an accurate reflection of their recent form.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
