The universe is conspiring to screw us.
Sydney are begging to get beat but we will blow it.
Players look cooked mentally.
And short turn around and travel.
I would drop McGovern and bring in Marchbank. Risky I know but he showed last year he can play off limited run in games.
I would play Dow. His burst at stoppages could be handy on that ground and Voss simply has to make some changes. Hollands is due a rest so Dow takes his spot.
I would drop Jack and play TDK. The one ruck thing isn't working. Jack tries but he isn't a ruckman.
See if we can stretch Syd in the air, they are down in tall defenders.
Changes need to be made.
I dont think Cincotta desreved to be dropped last week for Boyd.
Boyd looked like a player out of form. Yeah did do some good things in the 3rd qtr, maybe the game played him into some form....Better have.
I'm a fan of Marchbanks, but his form is no where near good enough to even be considered.
Dow has his limitations, but I wouldnt care if he is selected to play against Swans. Not sure who I would drop.
Agree about Jack. Heart n Soul, but a liability in the ruck, and isn't marking in the forwardline, nor kicking goals. TDK was better in the ruck vs Williamstown against big Tom Downie.
TDK will strtech them in the backline. The Swans will put a lot of focus on Harry n Charlie knowing they can kick a lot of goals if not double teamed....that should give TDK some room to do a bit of forward manage. So short are the Swans defenders, probably SOS will stretch them too, but Ive seen enough of SOS.
