You did see the Phillips role last year with Brad Scott, right?
He played just about every week.

422

You’ve managed to side step the fact that one of Draper or Goldy would replace Wright at deep forward. With Caddy, Langford, Stringer and Jones also in our forward line we have plenty of tall options. Your argument that Wright must be in our forward line doesn’t add up for me.

I think 2mp is dropped for Goldy this week. Caddy needs a run at it and did enough to keep his spot. Might also put fire back into 2MP, he’s been horrid since his suspension.

I also suspect that danger will get off tonight, and Redman will get a week. :pensive:

Cant see Danger getting off. Walshs head was smashed to the ground and had his arms pinned where he couldnt brace him self.

If he does get off then the whole sling tackle ban is farked.

Jones copped a week for far less

The only issue is we didn’t appeal.

If Danger gets off well, Essendon legal team have a lot of explaining to do.

I’ve been expecting Redman to get cited but it hasn’t happened. Would have come out last night if he was going to be surely?

When are you going to fix this ?

I’d be pretty shocked with how violently Walsh’s head hit the turf, thats the exact motion and look the AFL are trying to stamp our regardless of any other factors

Goldy in the ruck releases Draper forward. This makes it hard for oppo to cover Wright. Which then makes it harder to cover Langford and Stringer. Well, that’s the theory anyway.

432

Hawkins has had trouble with his movement.
How about the boys kick his hole in for him to help with his movements.
Soft ■■■■!

433

Hawkins out for the Cats probably helps them - they’ll bring Neale in who is more mobile and taller I think.

McKay will need to go to him?

434

Out: Menzie Kelly (both omitted).
In: Gresham, Goldy

McG McKay Lav
Redman Ridley Martin
Duursma Merrett Cox
Jones 2MP Guelfi
Stringer Langford Gresham

Draper Durham Caldwell

IC: Goldy Heppell Perkins Caddy
Sub: Hind
Emergencies: Roberts, ADJ, Hobbs

I’m assuming Cox and Guelfi will be OK to go.
Scott “says” he’ll be playing 2 rucks, but he won’t be leaving big Peter out, unless maybe because its a deluge on Sat night.

I had to pause before choosing the sub, nearly shuffled Archie into the sub role rather than Nick H.

435

But then it also makes it easier for the opposition to move it out of our fifty and into theirs which has been our Achilles heal

The media sinking the boot into Geelong isn’t a great thing for us

but Draper is a better ruckman than Forward.

438

Probably. I think Lav on Ollie Henry, Ridley on Cameron and McKay on Neale if he plays is probably the starting point.

Neale sounds like a Giant, is he any good?

I think he’ll be more than handy at some point, but not just yet.
