Have also heard Jack will be playing HBF tonight and Young will be going forward. God I hope that's not right.

So the one bloke who has actually looked like he is capable of taking a mark and kick a goal shifts back down back and we swap woth a guy who is less likely than the current out of form rabble?
Coaching geniuses at work?

Don't take it to the bank, but that's my mail. I can only assume we're more worried about the kid Darcy than anything else.

If this happens, Ill sack the MC myself.

Fork me dead, Lewis is a decent player, but he found some form against hawthorn down back, and whilst we might need to swing the magnets if he is being taken to task, thus far, JSOS has been our most competent key forward of the season.

Sure, the smalls make some logical sense (though Id argue Cooper got the rough end of the stick given we went backwards after he went off against richmond) but Lucas is a first year player who looks to be physically not yet at the level.  Thats fine, it will come in time, he is an athelete. 

Fast deck, Friday night footy at Marvel is no time to experimental with glacial sized players.

I don't think they trust Young to play on Darcy, so want JSOS back there as a more experienced player to help shore up the defence.
Young not a good match up for Naughton either IMO

I reckon Darcy is good for four goals regardless of who we play on him.  He is simply too tall and too good.

We just have to limit his output to that four goal mark and stop the rest of their forwards from scoring.

I would mix it up a bit and give all of our taller defenders a shot at trying to curb Darcy.

My 2 cents....
Play Young on Darcy as he has height and reasonable mobility.
Let Weitering do his defensive intercepting/helping out as required on Darcy or whoever. He has the footy IQ.
Have McGovern or Haynes or failing that Kemp pick up Naughton.
Keep JSOS in a forward role with Charlie.
Don't care how many disposals or marks Young gets as long as he disrupts Darcy. Young's only got one job....

Ideally we'll disrupt/limit his supply.

Sounds like a good plan Sleeper which is why we'll probably do the opposite!  :o

If we go in and maintain the hunter attitude for long enough. We win.

If not. It's curtains and up with the pressure guage.

Jack starting back.
Young forward.

Might be a stroke of genius.
More likely to give people a stroke!
