true which makes SOS or Young as 2nd ruck even more so....

I agree.

Harry is 25, get him to help out. It might do him some good.

What's the option?

TDK vs Gawn and Grundy worries me.

What's the option?

Shirley not Mirkov?

For mine

Harry or Mirkov - at least Mirkov will compete in hitouts, I know around the ground he will not but truly against Gawn or Grundy how will SOS and Young go? Harry will compete more around the ground but be shithouse at hitouts - my theory, him and his brother were too gentle on each other as kids in the backyard - bloody twins.

Hell I'd even go Okeefe rather than SOS or Young, but then this club just does not know what to do with kids which is why they trade so many picks for older bodies.

From Triple A? He's already had his cup of coffee but I'd definitely get him back in the show.


Riley Beveridge, I believe.
Ps. Rove to their rucks if tapouts is a problem. Pick someone who can run with them.

Mirkov is only for break glass if both TDK and Pitto are unavailable.

I’d much rather chuck Harry in as he would give us value around the ground. We’ll be fine sharking the opposition ruck’s.

Freo beat them at the MCG on the weekend with Darcey doing his hammy early in the game. Not too sure the ruck is our problem.
We are getting out coached in the middle regardless of winning the hit out.

Couple of things I've noticed is If teams don't clearly win the clearance they allow us to grab it and hustle our clearance.
Bulldogs had Arthur Jones sprinting off half forward pressuring our clearances and our half backs allowed it.

Not a fan of the layers Voss talked about mid last season it seems like its all gone to @#$@ since then, maybe we would have been better off not tweaking our game plan and making teams beat us.

If you like to have a bet
Look who is going to line up on Curnow and have him BOG
Look who matches up on Cripps have them for 25 plus
Take Fritsch and Kozzy for 3 plus goals.

FMD. There's a break in SOO, and I read this. This. Winning the ruck is not our game.

We can still break even with the contest overall, but the hits to advantage should favour them.

We have to rove off their rucks. Its all about set up.

Plus a win will be so nourishing this weekend. I hate to think of the other...looking forward to meeting our nemesis, the drug cheating Effendope.

Have to win this weekend.

If Freo can do it without Darcy, we can do it without Pitto, Hewett , Newman, Williams and Martin, Marchbank, Cuning.....

Just kick straight FFS. Get real. We will have a good best 23 to win this.
Find reason to perform at your best, and you will find confidence.

It's time to get our shit together.

Have to create connection, running forward when we can, like we use to when we mixed it up last year.

You're onto them SB like all the opposition are.

Lets hope the abovementioned respect their opponent this Friday.

I've been a bit ambivalent about Dow this year but I hope the Dow believers get their way this week, & he plays well.

I also hope Voss thinks a bit outside the box & doesn't select Silvagni & Fisher. As another poster said, the injury hit might be a good chance to refresh the squad.

Totally agree mate. I haven't had a single problem with Dow's omission to date. If we bring JSOS back in because we need a ruck then that's just stupid. He was a competitor when we had no one, but games have swung or been taken away from us swiftly when he's gone into the ruck.

Fisher is just a tease. Let him deliver consistentcy in the 2s.

Good point about SOS and Fish.
Revolving doors.
Can we add LOB to that group?

I would like to see Cincotta and Binns come in.
And I'd like to see 210 come in even if just to contest ruck duels.
Finals are dusted. Be creative as you say.
