They will be hell bent on stopping us from getting a top 4 finish with the double chance, we go to Perth next. No double chance no grand final.
These last few weeks will be for nothing, maybe Ken gets to see out his contract now.
Luckily there is no 're-signing' to lock in. 2nd is there for the taking, but could absolutely still finish all the way down as far as 9th.
 
Lord, Dixon and Ratugolea would be an awful mix for a forward line. So immobile. Their half backs would have a field day.

Give Burton a go, or promote Narkle and find another sub.

Lord and dixon doesn't work

It's going to be a finals type game so you need guys who will hit the contest hard and apply physical pressure.

Lord isn't ideal in the current structure, but he is that type of player.

Has to fit in a role and seemed to be playing upfield a bit more today.

The problem is if any of the tall forwards gets injured or say Big Sav has to go back, we have one tall forward.

Lord's not my ideal choice but going small will only end badly, especially if we start bombing long.

Burton theoretically is a good fit but will provide the contest consistently? Didn't do a lot today.
 
I'm a bit worried about their tall forwards. BZT is a good match up for fog as is alir for thilthorpe but that leaves Bergman for Tex. I really rate Bergman but don't think that's the right match up. Do we play rat back and just play 2 tall forwards?

Dixon Rats Lord a no for me.
How we line up on the Cows 3 bigs up forward will be interesting
Does Rat go back or do we bring in Clurey or get Bergman to take 1 of them
 
Forget about Hinkelberry, the players need to bring a different mind set next week.
We need to move fast and direct.

Number one thing I want is players ready to play from the first bounce, none of this have a little nap before we start to do something.
We give them a start and we’re fkd,that needs to be implanted in there thick heads.
If we come ready to play we win, if not it’s going to be a long long night.
 
Ruck is the most critical battle
ROB has killed us
And we just saw what happened when Gawn got on top & hit everything forward into space for their mids to run onto
Selections will be interesting this week, definitely need a different approach to what we have been doing against them.
I just pray they don’t bring in Jed.
Being a night game Lorenz would be handy, I’d play him over Evans.
 
Button forward as a third tall if George doesn’t come up makes sense

From what I gather his SANFL form is more a reflection of his petulance at believing he’s too good for that level than actual form and we need someone to stop the crows half backs running it out of our F50 at will

I think it’s time to swap Narkle and Frank again in the sub role

I except the same strategy they’ve used against us for years now nullify the midfield contest then sling shot to their talls we might be a tall short in defence with Sav forward

Not sure about Burton, night game and possibly of rain, I’d give Lorenz a go and drop Evans.
Whatever we do we need a different approach.

Lorenz isn’t going to play 3rd tall Burton can that’s why I’m picking him

If the argument was whos the next best in on form sure go with Lorenz but we need another tall option assuming George is out

Could drop a frank for him but just not convinced showdowns are the place for 18 year olds to essentially make their debut
