Rediy would be blown up after the 1st quarter trying to chase Gawn around.

As MBB said, Young as 2nd ruck, specifically when Gawn goes forward is the matchup.
thats why hes an emergency on case pitto doesnt get up. 

Irrespective i dont share your dire scenario and dont see the fuss.
If Pitto doesnt play we are screwed.

Young... He would get smashed physically vs Gawn.  Reiddy will make him earn every touch.

I work with robots all day everyday, it's a full-time job just keeping them moving, despite being fully engineered for hazardous environments we have to keep them positively pressured with air or nitrogen just to stop them seizing. A handful of fine grit is like cyanide to them!

I've found if you take them out for a drink after work and get to see them in a more relaxed environment it helps to break down some of those barriers.  :D
i just treat my ai helper as a fellow employee, and talk to them like they're a human.

I was sure that we already had a thread for this game but I can't find it.

One change for us; Nick Haynes comes in for Wade Derksen who has been demoted to emergency.

Wade is stiff to miss out but Melbourne relies on its small and medium forwards - as well as Gawn drifting forward.
You beat me to it. :) I put it off, because I didn't know who we'd play, and then forgot. :(

It will be interesting tomorrow night, it looks like the Dees are going hard at our smalls, and our selection looks to be quite the opposite. Success might hinge on someone like Evans and Byrne being able to keep their direct opponents occupied.

I suspect we'll be hitting up a variety of marking targets, and I back Evans in particular to better similar sized and agile opponents in any overhead contest. It's a pity Hayward wasn't able to get up. Gawn can't be everywhere, and by being unpredictable entering F50 we can have him chasing the footy all across our HF line. Our breadth of goal kickers could become a real strength.

I predict Cottrell and Wilson could be a bit more dynamic tomorrow night, and dry conditions could be perfect for Acres.
