I don't endorse it, but the forward structure mentioned earlier would be the closest thing to how Adelaide operate:
Walker- Hooker
Jenkins- Joe D (5 minute stints in the ruck each quarter to relieve No1 ruckman)
McGovern- Hurley
Lynch- Lang/LAV (The hit-up forward who works up the ground to connect defense and attack)
Betts- Fanta
Cameron- Colyer/Tippa
I don’t personally see a team with Leuenberger and Bellchambers functioning all that well but it will be interesting to see what the match committee think. They’ll no doubt trial it a bit. I just see it compromising your flexibility as a side and robs you of a bit of mobility particularly in the forward half when the ball hits the deck and you’re trying to ensure the oppositions defense don’t have an easy exit route.

Is closer, but they’re still pretty different players.
Given we will possibly play both Bellchambers and Leuenberger I think we will have one less key forward.
Hurley back for me, given his aggression and field kicking.
No? Okaaaaay… didn’t realise it was that cut and dry.
Clearly I matched up Daniher with Jenkins to the extent that they would both play the relief ruck role, but righteo.
NO to belly up forward. He turns like the fkg titanic
Joe and hooker are a great combo and will be greatly benefited by a third medium tall type like laverde, langford etc. Add belly to that and its waaaay too cumbersome and slow
Actually its an old factory/warehouse in North Melbourne, Lauren Hall. Formerly the old Railway Printing Factory.
Been there for a reception. Unique reception place but very nice in an unusual setting.
Anyway congrats to BJ & Mrs.BJ
Wonder if he gave a serve to his groomsman if they mucked up???
