Ok.......
Derksen    Young     Boyd
Florent      Haynes   Newman
 Carroll     Hewett    Cerra
Ainsworth McKay   E Holland
Evans        Cripps    F. Young
Pittonet  Walsh     Smith

Lord  Cowan  Byrne  Kemp   McGovern

Cripps is wearing a new knee strapping and probably playing injured, work him out of the square..... or rest him.
McGovern is the swingman, play him either end as required.
Lord rotates on the ball.
Byrne rotates with the small forwards.
Cowan rotates with the backs
Kemp rotates with the tall forwards.

Out: Hayward, Weitering, O Holland
In:  Lord, F Young, Haynes.

Something different!

Hayward will miss, the appeal failed.

what a joke.  They gave a down field free kick, which was effectively a 50 metre penalty and normally that's enough to hold out.  Wardlaw wasn't even adversely impacted.  I swear we get punished more than other teams.

I had the craziest thought last night, why not play Crippa down back this week. He is 195cm, agressive, give him a shot at one of their big fellas, Tex maybe?
. 
. Yes, good idea GTC.  Have thought sometimes Crippa could be our (sometimes) centre half back, as you say playing on a big forward.    Last year when the Crows carved us up over here at Adelaide oval, our backs were all at sea on Tex.  Even Weitering struggled.  He isn't the fastest mover but out manoeuvred them, particularly Young.
Would love Vossy to try a few  such moves, instead of the same old.

Adelaide copping it in the SA media on the rebound too makes it harder, a competitive 4 quarter effort might be the best we can hope for. That three prong tall forward line looks menacing for the Crows without Weitering, if our midfield are not firing its going to be difficult for Derksen, Haynes and L.Young.
If we play 4 qtrs like we play one qtr we'd win easily. Sadly though.................
