Their midfield annihilated us too, I'd rather put keays on Lukosious this time so he doesn't ruin our F50 entries. Plenty of others can scab goals out the front.

The Ratpack!
Witts handed ROB one of the biggest wallopings of his career. We need to shark his taps.
You mean the two goals he kicked from the centre square? One from an Allier fumble and the other gifted to him from Tex.
We all know how distorted the efficiency stat can be. Kick it 40+ metres to a contest is still efficient.
Tex had 15 score involvements. Crouch and Dawson had 10. 7.5 from Keays seems a bit light.
Same sort of level that Tom Sparrow plays at most weeks but Schoey doesn’t have same experience yet , so has improvement in him if we stick with him
Sparrow 4th mid at melb when Oliver is available and they are known as one of best midfields in comp
Hard to when ROB hits it straight to their mids

I’ll assume you mean goal square not center square.
Haha yep, thanks.
I have nightmares thinking of Keays in the centre square, it slipped out…

You'd think the team will be unchanged .....except for a Butts replacement
Given both Borlaise & Keane are under-sized KPD's ......do we think Himmelberg is any opportunity to come in & play CHB ??
Nope, Himmelberg will be break glass in case of emergency fwd depth from here on in, if he doesn't ask for a trade.
I think we go in with Crouch midfield and rely on winning ground ball to stop opposition I50. Then, expose the "kids" in defence.

Nope, it has to be Borlase now if we go tall which looks a no brainer with the Suns tall forwards. If we don't give Borlase a shot now questions should be asked why we've kept him for so long.

By the way, I thought Sloane was named in the team last week but ended up sub. What happened there?

Common sense.
Nah it was only Zorko
This year we lost
McAsey
Murray
Butts
Fair test of KPD depth.
And Doedee
Yeah we gained Keanes with the loss of McAsey, but still a massive rearrangement of our back 6.
Yet, they looked rock solid Saturday night.

Dawson moved out of defence also.
I reckon the rise of Hinge countered Dawson back there.
But yes, Dawson to midfield changes the preseason dynamics of the back 6.

Dawson to midfield took the pressure of the back 6 by the ball not coming back there as often.
Sog was dropped, only got back in after an SANFL blinder and even then only due to a late change with Sloane to sub. Smith? He was injured. Max makes 2 then, I concede.
definitely won't go outside the 23, so he's either sub again or back in the 22.
makes you wonder why we fear change or any disruption to our continuity.
