I don't want to see a mis-matched, unbalanced side run out.  The named side is ????
How many games do you back a bloke in to come good? Docherty is clearly at the broken patience stage. In out in out.
Are they going to let the "usual suspects" do their thing- Steele owning Cripps for example.  At least one of our bugbears has left to Collingwood, thankfully.  Just watch some craptruck pop up and kick a bag.

Higgins and Owens are the usual suspects.

Wanganeen-Millera, Hill, Sinclair and Butler if he plays usually save their best for us too.

Rowan Marshall can thank dominating against our rucks for an AFL career.

Luckily Stocker doesnt play too well against us and hes usually quite important for them.

The saints are the most annoying side in the AFL to watch, and there is 0 heat on them after their dismantling of Freo last week.  We are not going well though, and look as broken as we did at the tail end of last year. 
Higgins is no slouch, currently 2nd in the Coleman I think so he will need close attention.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

The other usual suspect from them who gives us a bath is Steele, he normally beats Cripps who skipper should push fwd at every opportunity and exploit him.

Agree...needs a player who can handle him on the ground and in the air, takes a few marks in one on one duals and can play as that default key forward when they have Sharman and Caminiti playing further up the ground and dragging their opponents with them. Its a different game at the MCG though and requires a bit more mobility imo, we can look a bit top heavy with too many taller types down back.

We should.

However, if their small forwards get a run on, there is next to no matchup changes we can make, because we've gone for so much height in the backline this week.

I meant Higgins and Owen's usually cut us up.

They're pretty poor though.  Watch us make phillipou a star today.

I'd still have Carroll on the bench or as a sub, didn't have a good game last week but he is a handy size and flexible re position.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Agree, a different game at the G, should suit us better. Lyon is the 19th man for the 'Aints, he is as cunning as a craphouse rat so Voss will need to be flexible tonight and not just let things roll on if we fall behind

Ross Lyon said in the pregane that we've gone in with a 'full side' so they will look to bring the ball to ground and run.

So straight off the back he's flagged that we're too tall and they will try and take advantage of that.

Dont need to be a coaching genius to see that, but perhaps our MC need to hear it.
