I'm thinking White will replace Weitering and Everitt will replace White.
Cripps will replace Graham.

That's two ins, one forced and one not forced and I can't see us having any others unless 1AW is deemed ready, which I doubt..

need another tall if Cloke and Cox play forward - white or plowman not tall enough to take either and Rowe needs to take one of them - KJ should play and should be included for weitering

If they go too tall, they'll be slow. We are probably playing one tall too many anyway. KJ for Weitering and Cripps for Graham sounds about right to me.

Need to trust our team defense. Then use the extra mobile player to rebound and exploit their tall forward line. Our plan v theirs.

True,

Looks like the Bombers picked up on Plowmans 1 v 1 troubles against taller Dockers opponents and tried to islolate him.

I hope Essendon* folds.

White and Plowman are both tall enough to take Cox. If one stands on the other's shoulders. Does that qualify as team defense?

I am happy to bring in KJ if they think he is ready. But I'm not opposed to leaving him a bit longer in the VFL until he is really hungry and doesn't believe that a couple of decent performances at VFL level is good enough to get promoted.

On a separate note, I also think we should call Sav Rocca back...

I think that Bolts has made a deal with Casboult that provided he does the team thing away from goal he will back him 100%

As much as we need Casboult to come good asap (by good I mean as good as last year) I think that Bolts wants him to do it on his own so that he takes ownership in his ability and when his confidence comes back it will be more lasting having come from within than simply trusting the guidance from Sav.

A lot has been made of his action and although not great, his field kicking is quite reasonable so I believe that his number 1 issue is belief.

Unfortunately only he alone can fix that issue and I believe that Bolts will give him all the time it takes this season to do that.

JFs reviews of Foster Everitt & Dick were positive.

Graham won't be dropped.

Nor should he.....................got a heap of inside ball.Filled in for Cripps admirablyy for mine.

He lead the team in pressure acts also.

And not so positive regarding Jaksch I notice

Yes this week but he has been good this year. The game I aw his contested marking was an absolute highlight.

No coincidence that he was back in form as soon as he was playing on the ball again. Team highs in pressure acts and tackles, he'll make a good on ball partner for Cripps.

Much less scathing than last week

I don't think we can win this one, which is a shame because winning is the only result that will impress me. I'll just feel 'meh' and flat otherwise.

I am aching to be surprised.

Just need to improve the forward business a touch
