The coaches all said he needs 4 quarters and consistancy well how the hell does he get it by not playing at all at any level.
Worst backline ever.

Our desire to play with a side that is too tall/not quick enough is baffling. It seemed we finally had the right balance over the past couple of weeks but lo and behold, we've gone tall again.

I'd have Brisbane as $1.20 favourites for this game.

We have Kerr and McKay in the emergencies. McKay averages 2 goals a game, nice back up support for our star key forward, Curnow. We don't need two rucks. Seeing both play best when they ruck most of the game, why have a ruckman forward when you can have a forward there instead. Harsh on one of them but you can't play everybody. Same in defence. Our MC wouldn't know how to picked a balanced side.

Not exactly a tall backline.......

Surely Harry is a late in?

The two rucks makes zero sense.

No Lang in the selected side?

Interesting time to 'manage' Dow. Just played his best 2 games, this us a winnable fixture, couldnt we manage him next round?

Happy that Marchbank is over his injury however I would have thought he firstly needs to gain some match fitness in the reserves?
The Kreuzer/Phillips combo hasn't worked in the past - only 1 ruckman please.

Geez, one key forward and two ruckmen. How many times has that failed us. Both are first rucks only and terrible forwards. now means one will be there alot of the game. Kill both their games every time they are paired. If you play two rucks they have to be able to go forward. We never learn. It's hard on Phillips but like a Test wicketkeeper, there's only room for one.

Levi has struggled since getting injured so needed to be dropped. That means surely McKay comes in. At least he hits the scoreboard every week. He can relief ruck, only has to be for a short time.


x 2
Playing both Phillips and Kreuzer baffles me.

Thought so. Thanks kezza.

We tried this with Marchbank earlier in the year & he had a shocker. Against Footscray I think

Agree. Way too tall, as it has been most of the year. Four key talls and they only have two key forwards.


We are ensuring that we don't win, even though we probably wouldn't have anyway

Our number 1 pick will be worth a kings ransom to adelaide
