It will be a tough game. The Lions are in the best couple of teams for scoring from stoppages. I'd give Ed a run at Lachie Neale and see how he goes. Obviously Zorko and Lyons are threats as well. McCluggage has been excellent on the wing.
Hopefully Murphy is right to go. I think we need him, Garlett, Gibbons and Cuningham in forward 50 with 2 talls.
It will be interesting to see if they bring McInerney in to stretch our defence. Cripps will also be interesting. They have been using Jarrod Berry as a run with player but with his injury, will they give Robbo the role? If so, I hope we smash him at every opportunity.
Kreuzer will be a huge factor. He was smashed in the effective hit outs last week and that killed any opportunity we had. He has to stand up and get his hands on the ball at the stoppages.
I'll be going and looking forward to it.
Kreuzer is the weak link in the team. His ruck work (taps to advantage) simply doesn't stand up.
What's the point of having Newman on the bench?
I like my bench people to be more versatile.
Newman has played almost all his footy in the back half so unless he lines up there and Stocker goes into the middle, I can't see what we gain.
I'd rather eave him out and have both Setterfield and Jack.
I do like the fact you put Garlett in the FP. He is a million percent improvement on Fatsolo, even if he has an average game.
BV has
IN Simpson Murphy Garlett Thomas and McGovern
OUT Fasolo Plowman Kennedy Lang Setterfield/Silvagni
Don't think Murphy gets up. In that case, both Setterfield and Jack would play in this case.
Jones must be in a sot of bother. Thought he'd be back this week. And Goddard has been in the news for the right reasons.
I agree with you BS re Kreuzer. Not a tap ruckman. Bellchambers had his way last week and made a fool of Kreuzer imo.
Kreuzer makes a difference to us compared to Philips and Lobbe, but he's a ruck rover.
Nice to see K take a mark close to goals. Problem is he isnt a reliable set shot for goal as he was in his first 11 games of AFL.
Newman played on the wing for Swans...and the backline. He's tough and vesatile.
But his desperate kicking without looking has cost us plenty in the last 3 games.
BV's team looks better without Plowman. He's been ordinary this year.
Doesn't look composed, and doesn't attack the ball anymore.
Garlett as a quick forward and working up the wing. Like.
I want to see Neale tagged and someone running with Zorko.
These guys get the ball because they know where the ball is going.
We can't afford to let these guys do as they please because they will bring others into the game.
It all starts with Kreuzer in the ruck.
Must get his hand to the ball in Cripps' favour or at least nullify their ruck Stefan.
I'm stuck in Sydney for a function, and wish I could go to the game.
Really keen to watch this game. See what character these kids have.
