If the team doesn't manage Pav this year and give him some breaks something is seriously wrong.

Even if Griff played we would still be 1 tall less.

We won't be managing Pav. He'll play every game he's fit for. He's our only experienced key forward.

He did a pretty good job last week. Won the game of his own boot.

Except MJ is a defender. We're going to play a 5 man forward line and Pav will be double teamed all day.

Maybe they plan to structure up differently. There's 3 talls replacing 3 talls, where they play is still to be seen.
Nice to see langdon and Pearce in! Sad to say as I used to like him but it's surely over for mzungu.
Im going to assume Pearce plays forward and Johnson in pushes one of Sheridan or sutcliffe further up the ground?

We all wanted change and pace. We've got that and still the whinges come. Youngsters Weller,Langdon and Pearce . No De Boer ,Griff or Muz. Whats not to like.
This. I truly believe we cannot carry support for Sandilands unless they are kicking bags. The days of stoppages and congestion are over, we HAVE to have the extra runner.
If anything the rules changes will make forwards/backs who can help in the ruck more valuable

Clancee still can't kick
For me it's less about the other guy kicking a bag but giving Sandi a chop out in the ruck so HE can rest up forward and create a bit of havoc- especially when our key forwards will consist of old man Pavlich (sorry Pav) and a beanpole natural defender.
Some good changes. Sad to see tabs out of the team he wasn't our worst last week but if Pearce plays forward it will give us a chance to see if he can be as good as he is down back.
And if it doesn't work he can swing back to defence.

Clancee still can't kick
He's next out. We need Hughes to improve his disposal and Mora to get through unscathed. Mora again trained at half back in the sims today and was excellent.

Cancelled
I really only see one whinging and he whinges about everything, so I'd say that's been pretty well acceptedWe all wanted change and pace. We've got that and still the whinges come. Youngsters Weller,Langdon and Pearce . No De Boer ,Griff or Muz. Whats not to like.

I agree but you should not slam him like he is the worse offender agaist WB.
A hell of a lot of goals were scored by all teams last week by having a loose man or a runner onto a ball over the top of the defense, having a resting ruck near the square removes that option of the easiest, most prolific route to goal in today's modern rebounding defense game by clogging the space and likely plonking a defender in the way
But that's taking away Sandi's dominance in the ruck where we really need him! Keep Sandi in the middle!
I think initially he'll be used much the same as Weller, half forward with the odd stint on a wing. We won't be able to look forward to Bennell or even Morabito for a while so it's nice to see another pacy player with some X-factor lurking around the forward line.
I should have elaborated.
I want him to go to Peel so he can improve his skills, confidence et al - make a return later in the year as the true Dead Eye he is. I believe he's a lot better than what he currently gives and I want him to have an important forward presence - whether or not he kicks goals or allows situations for them to occur, either way it means an extra 2-4 goals a game we sorely need.
