If we had one reliable ruck that would be an improvement.

Until then we should be playing two.

I'd say they will play Trengove and look to pick up the advantage MK will have in the tapouts around the ground, the former will also be handy for their
smallish defense.
Polson may play on Caleb Daniel who has proven to be a ongoing nuisance everytime we play the Bulldogs...

We have 3 tall forwards, no chance we can play 2 rucks. 2 rucks has never worked for us anyway.

Thomas, Kreuser, Silvagni, and Kennedy for me too.

Polson is likely to get a gig before Kennedy though. He has played a bit more football this year so far.

after all the cr@p that Bam has copped this week though, he should be raring to go .
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Ones there as insurance for the inevitable breakdowns.   That way we'll actually have a ruck for 4 quarters.

You saw last weeks game yeah?

Lobbe, Casboult, McKay, Curnow, McGovern all played last week.

I agree its not ideal, but to say its no chance is either is rather ignorant.

We have to name 4 'emergencies' on the bench. Not many fit players to choose from that are not named on the bench.

Garlett is fit, Polsen is fit, Fisher and SPS have both played small forward at times.......Gibbons has been tried in 4 games in that position and failed to kick a goal....thats enough sample size to show its hasnt worked....even Ed Curnow who has minimal forward nous has been more effective.
Our midfield hasnt been that great either....Cripps aside its been the newbie Walsh who has been our next best mid...SPS has used it better than most but isnt a big ball winner.

Garlett is preferred back/wing.
Fisher is prefered in the middle resting forward.
SPS is having his best season to date playing middle.
Polson is fit, but lacking in confidence somewhat and is a defensive forward/mid by comparison.

Again, i'm not saying Gibbons shouldn't be tried int he middle, i'm just saying that each team sheet that has existed since the beginning of time has 2 spots with 'FP' included on them, and we are struggling to find players to fit there. Someone has to get the short straw and Gibbons has shown more in that position than anyone else who is fit currently.

If/When cuningham comes back, maybe Gibbo gets more mid minutes. We'll have to wait and see.

I was making the assumption that we might've learned....lol.

Maybe I assume too much. Soon find out in a couple of hours.
