Plowman out is a huge out. I also have no doubt, he has been carrying something, hence not getting up for this one. If GWS play Cameron, Himmelberg, Finlayson and Riccardi forward, we might need to put Setterfield back. Robbing Pete to pay Paul but no other option and please don’t raise Casboult or McGovern.

Yep, without Marchbank and/or Plowman we lack a third tall defender. Williamson and Docherty will both probably have to play against bigger opponents. Levi would be there if the need arises, but I wouldn’t expect him to start back; Teague’s unlikely to alter our structure in reaction to theirs. Perhaps Macreadie could be a late change too.

Always good coming up against a side where they have just announced that the coach has extended his contract.
Nothing seems to zap players more than finding the boss will be around that little bit longer

. I haven’t seen this but if true, I think it’s a huge mistake. I’m not impressed by Cameron.

Much better balance with McGovern in for De Koning.

Agree. Can’t play the 3 bigs in one team. Gov and McKay are lead up players, Casboult is the contested pack player. Bolt and the Kind can’t play in the same team if Pittonet is #1 ruck.

This club is @#$%&! clueless
DeKoning
This guy has been a ray of light and needs all the experience against a variety of opponents
Pittonet has been terrible lately
Good to see Cottrell
Sick of Guys handed games too
Same old same old

McKay is NOT a lead up player. He rarely leads at the ball carrier, preferring to lead out wide to the pocket for the almost impossible shot. If he were a lead up player, it would straighten us up and force the mids to go in low at him instead of lobbing it on his head or into the aforementioned pocket.
Gov is more so but even then is not usually the go to man.
The one huge issue I have with our forward setup, it is the way we go into F50, enabling the opposition defence (last week it was Moore) to get 3 Brownlow votes for intercept marks.
Give me Fev any day leading to space with Houlihan, Murphy and co feeding him. McKay could do it with SPS, Fisher, Cunningham., Martin making him work and giving him goals on a plate.
No reason he couldn't do it except he is lazy and prefers the easy option.
Look at Hawkins and his work rate at 30 ish.

See I think if TDK played tomorrow they'd be loathe to play him next Tuesday against the Swans. Either way I think he misses one of these two games. Pittonet was very ordinary against the Pies, but I think this selection is a consequence of the fixture as much as anything. Your thoughts?

Sorry but Mumford is coke headed [REDACTED] who will make it his mission to cripple TDK. He is complete scum - whilst I agree with him being a ray of light the club is right to protect him.
