Every single year without fail in pre-season: " Man, we’ve just got so much depth now! How are we going to play this guy or that guy"
Every single year by round two or three: “WE’RE FARKED”

Anyone who thinks we are going to get within of 5 goals against the saints on saturday, clearly deluded. The team is going to be rattled due to wright’s forced holiday, the saints are playing better than we are, and while Lyon is coaching them, more of a chance of getting their 2nd premiership to our 17th.
So it really does not matter who is in or out this week, cause we are going to be spanked by the saints, followed by Port, followed by the dogs and followed by crows, after that we should get Wright back, with a score line from 6 games, of 1-5 and thus for another year of not playing finals. This club is a rabble.

I loved the edge stuff on the weekend , but we still have a poor list . lets continue to go the knuckle. I want 2mp to play on papley next time
Yeah so the edge stuff only applies to the players, not the club.
And when they get a bit too close to the edge, the club will throw them under the bus.
Seems fair.

Outs Menzie Laverde Heppell Wright Davey

Draper deepest forward with Caddy closer to goal.
Stringer and Langford playing from 35-40m.
Caldwell or Durham and Gresham or Merrett higher half forward roles

Y’all know Weideman is going to play
Be interesting to see what Saints do with their fwd line now with King out, their cupboard is barer than ours. Might end up playing 2 rucks given we are so have Tom Campbell in so Marshall can play fwd/ruck and at least have some height in their fwd line
Caminiti should come into the Saints side.

Out Peter Wright
In Nate Caddy, who also is going to throw his weight around, hopefully won’t get suspended though like 2MP

Hope we’ve learned a few things from the Sydney match. The Saints have similar qualities - pace, elite kicking, hard-running, intense at the ball.
I’m confused. You have Tsatas ommited, as the sub and as an emergency! Is there 3 of him?
Weideman would be the most obvious replacement for Wright but I would be very underwhelmed if he were to come in. I’d be tempted to keep Draper permanently forward with Langford and Stringer as the other ‘tall’ options.

I think I’m with you, there. Maybe Davey for Wright, with Draper spending a bit more time forward.
Maybe Weideman plays as a decoy full forward and keeps Wilkie busy.
Otherwise, play Langford out of the square.
