Wasnt Sinclair BOG last time?......vs Kreuzer?
Correct. It was probably Sinclair's best ever game. Granted Kreuzer was not close to 100%, but Sinclair used his athleticism to break contact and get the ball.
Live Long and Prosper!

With Charlie out, Levi might get the nod over Lobbe just for his ability to go forward for a mark/goal. Assuming Murphy is fit I'd have Levi in with Silvagni and Kennedy and Charlie out injured and drop Fasolo and Garlett.

Ch7 reporting Fas dropped SOS an emergency.

2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set

I don't know how everyone else is feeling but this is a really important game as far as I'm concerned.

A win is desperately needed just to break the cycle and give everyone a sense that this season is about progress and improvement.

Surprisingly many commentators have been supportive of our efforts so far.
But it won't take much for that to turn.
Another honorable loss and it starts to sound like a bit of a broken record.
The worst possible scenario would be a bad loss....it would just suck the life out of the place.

I'm staggered that Kennedy isn't in for this week? And do we need 3 tall defenders against Sydney? Rapt that Levi gets a crack at it though.

Don't like that size,  too big and slow.

Agreed Prof....especially at Etihad (or whatever it's called these days). I would've thought Marchbank would be given at least a week in the VFL and Kennedy has done more than enough to warrant a game? He might not be quick but he's exactly the sort of bloke who can give Cripps a breather in the middle and let him push forward. O'Brien makes me nervous too....saw too many games last year where he absolutely butchered the footy.

Marchbank is more your 3rd tall/medium defender. Its a luxury to have his type available and our backline will be better for it.

I do not like the team balance though. Overall, too big, tall and slow.

So:-
Levi replaces Charlie
O'Brien replaces Fas
Marchbank replaces Garlett

Ed looks to remain as DF?

Does not turn me on tbh.
Reality always wins in the end.

Cookie....I'd put money on Ed returning to a tagging role this week on Josh Kennedy.

It's hard pleasing everybody, and it's hard finding a happy medium. Many times on here I read we are lightweights and brushed off too easily, boys v men etc.

Swans are slow and big, especially in the midfield. We either try and match them, or try going the opposite, and blowing them off for pace and agility. It's hard to know sometimes.

But with those "ins" we're not matching them in the midfield by any stretch?

Love to see Levi really dig in and throw his weight around and crash some packs up forward and around the ground. I know he's dropped right down the pecking order in terms of tall forwards but I think he can bring something to the team this week and Charlie has really struggled to date this year.

So a wooden spoon team is going to match it with a premiership winning team at their own game?

Personally i think its pretty clear what we should be trying to do....and its not that.
