TDK very unlucky
Marchy very lucky - his timing has been off. Hopefully it comes together for him but see him as a liability
LOB - has good run and skills but doesn't crack in hard enough for mine and makes too many errors.

Not sure on the merits on fielding four key defenders against four med/small forwards hope we don't live to regret it.

Match fitness is going to be a big issue for alot of these lads. With Kennedy out - Setters is in.
A lot of good players in VFL that expect to play AFL constantly Harmes . Tomlison, Bowey, Weideman all played from Melbourne VFL. Stock is in the same type of company and think he will be offered a contract. If he is to leave only Adelaide and West Coast have very average midfields where he is a guaranteed starter and unlikely he will move interstate. He will still get plenty of games with us and the club has developed his flexibility.

Sneaking into the 8 would be of some symbolic value but would we be a credible premiership contender? We hardly have the momentum of the Doggies in 2016. And Essendon is testament to the fact that making the 8 can create a “job done” mentality the following year.

If we play finals interstate then we are next to no chance unless something changes as our interstate form is quite poor. If we play in Melbourne we are a great chance against anyone really. Hewett trained yesterday and moved well and will play next week - same goes for Newy.

I guess we trust the match committee and medical staff but massive risk bringing Williams in after so long out....especially with that injury and his history. Would wanna make sure we've got the perfect substitute in place, if there is such a thing. If he comes in, then maybe one of Stocker or Newnes go out.

If Cerra is fit, I'd be leaving out one of Owies or Motlop.....not sure we can carry all of Owies, Motlop and Durdin?

Silvagni will struggle against the height of Cox when he's rucking but back him in to do more than Cox when the ball hits the ground....that probably means TDK stays out.

100% agree on small forwards - but think Durdin is a lock of the three. Not sure what Voss and team will do this weekend but moved the board magnets around beautifully with Doc and Setters in the middle. Expect more of the same this week too.

I see Jack SIlvagni more as 3rd tall forward / occasional ruckman, and Setterfield as an inside / outside mid.

+1. Jack is a pretty good link player between Mids and Forwards too. Setters is an inside mid trying to be moulded into something he is not. Let him train and play in his natural position. It could cost us trying to experiment with him too much

Not sure how correct that was - SOJ was sent back for most of the last few mins.  The Melksham mark was 4on2 to our advantage.  Yeah, the numbers at that last contest were even, but that could have been because the spares were otherwise occupied.   King talks a lot and is occasionally on to something, but he does talk out of his backside at times

Owies skill error to Saad that forced Saad to rush disposal and kick long to a contest was the game. I love Owies pressure acts but his skill execution and lack of hitting the scoreboard is worrysome.
