I feel like our best will be a comfortable win against this mob regardless what they can bring. Our best is better simple as that.

While I’m not convinced with our midfield or even our forwards synergy but I now have no doubts out back 6 are as strong as any going around.  Weitering is a star who is rarely beaten and Young is very much under rated, and now a very capable
2nd tall defender. Newman has improved a lot and is now a reliable lock down small defender and then when you add in the intercepting McGovern and Doc and Saad who are as good as you are going to get as running flankers our back 6 is solid on every line imo.

If we can get our midfield singing and Walsh’s inclusion this week will help we will be a very hard team to score against.

Crows are playing well but still don’t rate them. Many experts had them in the bottom 4 before the season started.

We should and will take care of business again even if Harry doesn’t play.

Blues by 30
My concern is their forwards, one big (no problems with that big oaf) but the smalls could be a worry. Rankine, Rachele, Soligo and the prick who dined out on us last time Keys. Do your homework well this week Vossy and co.

We set up well behind the ball. Our defence is pretty good imo.
Desperately need our mids fit and firing together and need them to build cohesion going into the bye.
Adelaide a very good side or Freo are just hopeless not sure yet.

So, how does our forward line look without H for this game against the Croweaters? Who comes in for him?

I'd be tempted to ask Pitto to ruck far more and put TDK at CHF. I just don't think we have a 'ready made' tall forward in the Magoos to slot in, in H's place. Kemp would have been a possibility but he's being groomed more as an intercept defender. Thoughts? Possibilities?
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Tdk to go full forward.
Get Charles up around the arc as he can kick big bombs.
Mirkov in to help Pittonet? Don't know much about the Camry Cows ruck division.
Harry should play anyway, the contact was very light. It just looked a lot worse than it was. A fine would be suitable. Bring in the Kings Counsel for this one.
There was certainly alot worse during the game.
The Cow's Sigilo should get a game for touching an ump. If that was a Carlton player it would be an instant 2 weeks.
2024... Moir of the same to come

Two rucks, TDK fwd as you say. I'd make Kemp the Sub, Gov can go fwd if there is a injury and Kemp can go back. Our small fwds (Durdin Motlop) need to be ON for us to win.

Riley O'Brien is a decent ruckman and they use Thilthorpe who is a KP forward in the main as their backup.
TDK is more suited to O'Brien imo who is very mobile and more your modern get involved with general play more type ruck.

Danger game!

They are up and running, playing at home, while we are just going.

But we are winning. Like every game thus far, we need to find a way in game.

So why should we play to their strengths?

Go with plan A, Pittonet and adapt if required from there.

Jordan Dawson might need a bit of attention.....27 possies at 96% DE vs Freo.....thats insane.

Kane Cornes expects the medium impact assessment to be downgraded to low impact and the penalty will therefore be a fine only: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/04/09/why-cornes-expects-key-blue-to-have-striking-ban-downgraded/.
Ill be shocked if they down grade it.
