Rivers on Dixon concerns me, he's giving up 8cm. And he's no slouch at ground level for his size.
I'm not sure we have the ideal matchups. One of our tall defenders will be conceding height regardless of which matchup we go with.

haha- yeah, Gaz could be the blond bloke from MC if Gaz wore a wig but there's absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to any of the other members. I actually just was going to comment that they're a motley mob- but then thought I'd make it punny...Slightly mötley but more like the backstreet boys, apart from the bald guy.
Might have been why the MC brought in both Smedts and Mots after very limited VFL time- i.e. with a view to this particular game?We should be worried about their pace, but if Harry doesn't play that could be another concern. He hasn't been playing the best so far this year, but, he still takes either the best or next best forward.
What I like about last week is that some of our runners got some form
SO which ruckman do we go with? Experience and around the ground work from Hamish or the big bodied possibly better tapwork of Simpson? I think the MC might go with Hamish- he should be pretty fresh after his rest. What are the rucks like at GCFC? They're only young blokes, aren't they?
Totally agree. It may over stating the impact but I feel like going with the two ruckmen vs one could be the difference between us having a win or getting totally towelled up.My only pre-requisite is if they don't pick both, then the other plays VFL to at least get gametime. Management of their workload is prudent, but they still need to maintain fitness and form. Not sure you'd want to drop Simpson after a game where he wins 52 hitouts.
Unless you "rest" him the VFL where the pace isn't as intense?My only pre-requisite is if they don't pick both, then the other plays VFL to at least get gametime.

He deserves to keep his spot right now. So the options are if you don't want both play McIntosh there, and if you do want both play Blicavs there. Net result needs to be 2 ruckmen and no more.
Matchups?
Lonergan - Lynch
Rivers - Dixon
Taylor - Day
Guthrie - Ablett
Bartel - Swallow (defensive forward role - Swallow has provided a lot of run from the back half this year and needs to be made accountable)
Any others we need to be particularly concerned about?

Swallow has played midfield the whole year.
Not in a couple of games earlier in the year that I saw. Was dominant from half back when GC were playing very well. Apologies if he has moved since then.
You'll be vego this week. No Johnson or Rivers.My go at the meat tray, and this is purely based on deciding that the MC are stubborn with the rucks and have no idea what to do at CHF.
In, HMac, Kersten, Christensen.
Out, Taylor, Walker, GHS.
Second go.
On the premise that the MC are not stubborn and have some idea about CHF
In, SJ, Rivers, Christensen.
Out, Taylor, Lang, GHS.
Lang, Hmac, Kersten, Caddy to cook in the VFL.
Note: I'd actually like Kersten in too for Stringer.
Don't remember that but okay.
Is Martin going to play?
Gotta make sure we recover dat percentage! Mission almost accomplished.
