With Mumford playing imo we need to throw 2 ruckman at him.
Kreuzer and Casboult to wax.

Mumford will seize any chance to mow anyone and if it's his direct opponent the better.

A fatigued Kreuzer may become prey.
Don't get me wrong Kreuzer is tough but I think a fresh Kreuzer after a chop out will be difficult for Mummy to keep up with.

If so, Kreuzer to kick 3.

He goes from 'emergency' to out? No Kennedy? No idea how selections are made... (probably just as well) but I suspect the team effort last week means that there may only replacements for the outs?
Explains Kennedy..... Is Macreadie more of a runner than Schumaker?

To the contrary Schumacher is much more a running type that Macreadie who is 6cm taller and more an intercept marking type defender. Schu doesn't play as tall as his 192cm frame might suggest - in fact I was surprised to see he is recorded at that height.

We don't know why.
No guarantee McReadie will play either.
This might be a way for BB to tell them they are on the right track but something is missing.

Even with injuries, our back half depth isn't too bad. If and when we can ever get the best 6 on the park, it will be our strength.

On a slightly different note, interesting to hear DeGoey talk about how hard our defence is to get through.

Exactly. He is more a Simpson, Daisy, Doc, Newman, Williamson type rather than a Weitering, Marchbank, Macreadie, Plowman type. I guess plowman maybe falls somewhere in between. He’s going well and he’ll get his chance

Didn’t say anything about retiring, on merit it will happen IMO.

Much bigger IN's than OUT's for GWS.

Coniglio has not been playing well.

Not sure Schumacher is going that well. Docherty, Simmo, Newman all injured in recent weeks and the MC went with Stocker and an underprepared Williamson ahead of him. Now Macreadie. Even the defender who can’t defend (Garlett) has been given a go back there.

I have nothing against Schumacher, but it’s a cut-throat caper and he’s out of contract at the end of the season. Whether we think it’s fair or not, there would have to be a degree of pressure on him to start making an impact at VFL level soon.

Kidding me? He’s had a lean couple of weeks. Probably leading the brownlow after round 6. He’s a massive out

All this outside noise from opposition players and media-stop pissing in our pockets. Wasn’t too hard to kick 5 goals in 8 minutes at the end nor was it difficult for North to kick their highest score for the year the week before.

We know where we’re at without the external commentary thankyou very much.
