No hint from Woosha about any changes, most enthusiasm shown for Bird.
Marking forward and back, and goals of TBC mentioned as well. I suppose Leuey could be under the pump to keep his position if they want to maintain marking options up forward when JD is relieving in the ruck, especially if Cale is needed to control one of the Kennedy or Darling in the backline, TBC may be helpful here as well.
But with Myers getting credit for smart forward entries with his kicking I don’t see Bird replacing anyone on the bench.
And with Leuey named as the ruckman on the ground, it probably means TBC, Bird and Jerrett are emergencies.
Jerrett a shock but perhaps one of our small fwds or outside mids under injury cloud.
Hope Bird gets a go but it’s only going to be if one of Watson, Goddard, Hep or Myers misses. Hep’s hand could be an issue and who knows if Watson gets up game to game.
Bird might be a good addition to boost our performance at clearances.
A sneaky chance” on Sunday?
If they can play four quarters, I reckon they’ll win.
Two against Free meant a loss; three against Geelong saw them scramble home. Four should result in a win. Anything less will probably mean defeat.
