I actually forgot 2MP existed for a moment. Geez we have some upside.
No point in jumping when your job is to win the clearance off second or third position.

8 weeks ago I wouldnāt have given us fark all chance.
I think they might be gettableā¦ and having to play them in Perth is a total wild card.

Our fans FAR outnumber them in Perth, we will have the home crowd advantage for sure

Not the worst for us.
Weāll play in WA next week. And then have the bye.
By that point, hopefully weāll be back in Melbourne to play the Hawks.
Richmond having to play in Sydney, then WA, then have a bye (in Perth) and then play the Eagles is far worse.

Draper (if fit) in for Jones (Play two ruck men against tigers) Jones was going to be managed tonight, I think maintain that idea. Otherwise Bryan in as 2nd ruckmen.
Francis in for Zerk (Best 22 vs fringe defender, unlucky based on last nights game)
Zaka for Ham (Zaka medical sub) I would prefer games into Ham when possible. I think he will become a very handy second string midfielder off the bench.
on another note* I have enjoyed the move of Guelfi to half forward/wing in smithās role.

Rucking against Marlion Pickett is a marginally less daunting task.
We are going to break the drought against the Tigers at some point very soon.
Theyāve been our kryptonite for a long time now, even before their recent flag success. We havenāt found a way to challenge them.
It would be a massive step to break them this year, but I think next year or 2023 is more likely. I think they have one last crack in them and itās generally about this time of the season when they turn things around to contend.
Itās a massive game that could flip the narrative of the season for both clubs.

Langford played it well. Rather than ruck and lose, become a 4th mid and read the tap

Any reason why we just canāt move this game to the following week when both teams were due to have the bye?
