I think Lewis Young will ruck in tandem with TDK. Witts just too big for JSOS to ruck.
Need Young to ruck about half the time so that TDK can keep his jump and run for the last quarter.

That leaves is pretty short down back though, just Weitering and Plowman with any notable height, and even then Plow is better suited to a more medium type.

Could see TDK doing the majority with Young taking the hitouts down back, Harry taking some up forward and Jack doing the pinch hitting in the middle, but really just to make a contest and play as a 4th mid.

When Jack is in the middle it’s most likely against Chol, not Witts.

Witts and Chol are averaging about 75-76% TOG, so they’re not putting out huge numbers like a Gawn or Marshall who are averaging about 89-90% TOG.

It’s a game we should win and if we don’t it’s falling back into old habits.

I don’t want to lose 1 game this year we should win. Seen enough of that for too long. Can handle a loss to a better team but here we are the better team.
Melbourne will be the better team in every game this year. They’ll lose games though. It happens over the course of a long season.

It won’t be a “massive setback” if we lose.
 
We're not a complete side at all, but I don't tend to feel as nervous. We have a competent coaching group that have seemed to manage to get the players on board very quickly, I think we'll play very well today. Crippa especially ;)

Sunny and fairly warm all day today thus far so expect a greasy slick game. Not from humidity per se but the sweat from the players will be high do wet hands and arms making thing slippery. Getting dark just after 6pm at the moment so some time through the 3rd qtr likely dew may set in.
 
Interesting test for TDK. Witts is a very good ruckman but had had a slow start to the year coming back off an ACL after 10 months. However he has come up against so great sucks some that could be part of his slow start too. Mic Nat, Jackson/Gawn and Preuss has been in good form.

Witts is going to make this a tough wrestling match for TDK so I'm interested to see how he holds up over 4 qtrs.
