Waite hasn't played CHB in 2+ years, so I can't see him coming in and playing in defence this week. That means Hendo back to defence. I think we'll see Hendo continued to be moved from end to end on a 'needs must' basis for the rest of this season. He's needed at CHB this week against Norf.
It'll be interesting to see what we do in the midfield. Do we continue to play Carrazzo, Cachia & Curnow in the same side? Or do we go head-to-head with Norf's midfield? I wouldn't be upset if one of those 3 make way for Graham (or Lucas stays in), and on form the one from that trio you'd drop is Carrazzo, but I tend to think we'll go the conservative route....
Assuming Murph, Robbo & Waite are OK-
Tuohy Jamo McInnes
Walker Hendo Simmo
Curnow Judd Cachia
Armfield Waite Murphy
Betts Rowe Yarran
Kreuzer Gibbs Carrazzo
Inter: Brock, Garlett, Scotland
Sub: Robbo
In - Robbo, Waite
Out - Lucas, Watson
Malthouse said yesterday something to the effect that because the VFL side had a Bye last week there should be some fresh blokes from the reserves to bring in. We know he can't be referring to Bell, Ellard, Hammer or Laidler - so who does that leave? Bootsma, Buckley, Casboult, Graham, Menzel, Warnock and White are probably the only ones in contention.
Ive got this crazy idea, seeing is we are crying out for 2 tall forwards, why don't we play both Hendo and Waite up forward, and keep Watson in (heaven forbid, Im no fan but we may as well see if he can improve and from Mick's letter to the members he will play).
I like the idea of Hendo and Waite forward, with Waite as the mobile 3rd tall and keep Rowe at FF to swap with Kreuzer in the ruck for 5-10 mins per Qtr.
Petrie if he's on song will kick a bag on anyone, including Hendo...especially if the Kangas win the midfield and attack through the corridor. On the other end of the ground if we dont play Heno and Waite is also missing then we get he ball, and assuming we win the midfield battle, there is no serious tall target except the lumbering Rowe playing Key target. Nup! Rowe got 3 goals hanging close to goals and Hendo took the No 1 defender.
Watson needs to be told to play closer to his man. If its Petrie then right on his toes. He needs to learn to do this...so do it in the seniors.
Jammo, Watson and McInnes as the talls down back.
Hope Waite is available and added to the group. Need some more ball winning capability in the midfield and it seems that Graham is da man.
Can also see Menzel coming in and releasing one of the Amigos to the midfield.
Not happy with Carrots output since returning to the seniors.
IN/ OUT:
Robinson/ Curnow
Waite/ Carrazzo
Menzel/ Rowe ...shit who plays 2nd ruck????? Watson?????vs Goldstein????? more shit to consider
Waite might not get up and its between Menzel and Rowe as the forward target....height may stretch their defense.
OUT: .................................dunno...maybe Carrazzo,
