I like that team, but I’d go 1 of Hocking, Bird or Howlett in place of McGrath.

Does he? I thought he said he didn’t mind the fans calling him Tippa?

Squeeze? Trav is a walk up start I’d have thought…

What’s that you say, bignose?

righto dickham.

Yeah, I didn’t see him missing there.
We do have an issue with minding their smalls though. The thing with their smalls is that they aren’t just fast, but also strong, particularly Puoplo and Rioli. We have players to match them physically, but they aren’t defenders. I can’t seem to remember Bobcat in defence - what’s he like? Has strength, speed(ish), good aerially, agility.

Now you’ve gone too far!!!

Edit yeah ■■■■ forgot colyer, lock fo sho…maybe we go a smaller/mobile backline with mcG instead of ambrose?

Roughead - hurls
Vickery - Harts
Gunston - Gleeson

Ah no, Ambrose plays. If you want McGrath in bags goes.

Personally I’d take McKenna in over bags or maybe DEA but that’s just me.

I can see an argument for bringing in one of the more defensive mids but for who? Fwiw is be in favor of playing one in place of green.

I reckon Hocking is underdone and bird is a better tagger than howlett but equally happy for Benny to come in and Kay 35 million tackles.

Reckon that side might be a smidge tall but how can you drop bj or Langford and smack needs some cover
